2014 ANNUAL REPORTFISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION, INC

2

Fisher House Foundation, Inc. is an international not-for-profit organization established to improve the quality of life for members of the military, retirees, Veterans and their families. The Foundation builds comfort homes at military and VA medical centers and gifts them to the government. It assists with the coordination of private support and encourages public support for the network of comfort homes known as “Zachary and Elizabeth M. Fisher Houses.” It works to educate and inform the military and Veterans’ communities, their families and the general public about Fisher Houses and provides necessary support to individual Fisher Houses as needed. Other Quality of Life programs include scholarship programs, a grants program for volunteer organizations with innovative plans for quality of life projects, the “Hero Miles” and “Hotels for Heroes” programs and individual assistance to members of the military and their families during a crisis.

OUR MISSION

3

Dear Friends:

The quality of the Fisher House experience is important to all of us. Just as the quality matters in each home we build, it also matters in the work we do to support those homes every day. And I’m proud to say, our 2014 Annual Report reflects that quality.

• On any given night Fisher House can provide a safe haven for more than 830 families.• Our Hero Miles program, which at the end of 2014 had purchased some 56,000 tickets, saved families an estimated

$88 million, since inception.• We increased scholarships to $1.8 million, with half a million in scholarships going to the children of the fallen

and disabled.• Hotels for Heroes, using donated hotel points, provided 1,942 free nights of stay just in 2014.• Last year, we brought in more than 27,000 new donors.• Fisher House was the only American sponsor of the international Invictus Games.

I am privileged to be part of such a great organization, and I want to thank those who continue to support our vital initiatives. Rarely does a week go by when I am not uplifted by a letter, an email, or a story filled with heartfelt thanks from the parents, spouses and children who are a critical part of the healing process of our wounded, injured or ill service members and Veterans.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Chairman & CEOFisher House Foundation

2014 IMPACT

In its 14th year, the Scholarships for Military Children Program awarded 600 scholarships of $2,000 each to sons and daughters of active, retired or reserve military members, for a total of $1.2 million. The Heroes’ Legacy Scholarships program provided $5,000 grants to 108 children of service members killed or severely disabled since Sept. 11, 2001, for a total of $540,000 in scholarship grants. Additionally, Fisher House Foundation contributed $100,000 to the Joanne Holbrook Patton Scholarship for military spouses.

Fisher House Foundation maintains a powerful partnership with the nation’s radio stations. Our three-hour Memorial Day 2014 news/talk show aired on 140 stations, as well as online and via apps like iHeartRadio. The Holiday 2014 country show attracted Garth Brooks as host. The estimated air value of Fisher House’s 3-hour radio programming in 2014 was $1.6 million. Radio audiences also discover Fisher House through year-round interviews on local and syndicated shows, as well as widely-aired public service announcements.

This year, Fisher House Foundation was presented with three Hermes Creative Awards, an international competition for creative professionals. Awards were given for The Patriot magazine and for the Public Service Announcement titled, “A Hero’s Story.”

We could not win these awards without gracious support from Don Schaaf and Friends who help design the magazine, which received two of the three awards, and from David Freed, a Hollywood producer and his team for creating a

captivating Public Service Announcement.

Fisher House Foundation was a sponsor of the London-based, inaugural Invictus Games, led by Prince Harry. Fisher House Foundation was the only American sponsor, and the only charity sponsor for the games. The Foundation also provided uniforms to the US athletes, and support gear to their families in attendance, who were flown to London via our Hero Miles program. Over 160 family members were in attendance.

For the fourth year, Fisher House Foundation supported the Warrior Games, a week-long competition where more than 200 wounded, injured or ill service members and Veterans competed in paralympic sports at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. To ensure they were able to support theirloved ones, Fisher House provided flights to the families of participating athletes.
