STRICT BOARD OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNANCE: Direct Relief’s operations are conducted in conformance with an annual operating budget that is vetted and approved by its 35-member Board of Directors, which includes several former and current top executives of leading U.S. and international companies with over 150 collective years in the investment business, three physicians, three PhDs, and three accomplished attorneys.

TRANSPARENCY: Direct Relief pioneered open Shareholders’ Meetings for all its “investors” (every individual, company, or organization that has contributed money, material, or time to Direct Relief) to brief them on how their investments were spent. The organization held its fourth annual meeting this year which was covered by the New York Times.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT: An audit committee, comprised of both non-Director and Director members, retains and meets with an independent public accounting fi rm that conducts the annual audit. The committee also meets with the auditor, independent of any staff including the CEO and CFO, to discuss fi ndings. The Board’s Executive and Finance Committees meet monthly to review performance against budget and conduct general oversight.

STAFF COMPENSATION: The compensation of all Direct Relief staff members is benchmarked each year against a survey of nonprofi t compensation levels throughout Southern California, similar nonprofi t organizations nationwide, and publicly available compensation data. The CEO’s performance and compensation are reviewed annually by the Board of Director’s compensation committee.

BOARD LEADERSHIP – PERSONAL FINANCIAL INVESTMENT: In fi scal year 2006, the volunteer Board of Directors and International Advisory Board personally contributed enough to cover a signifi cant part of the fundraising and administrative costs of the organization.

BOARD LEADERSHIP – FUTURE FINANCIAL SECURITY: The Board has created a Board Restricted Investment Fund to ensure the organization’s future fi nancial security. With a goal of obtaining and maintaining two years’ operating expenses, the Fund is intended to balance current and future needs and provide annual support for operations, but not permanently restrict funds that may be required to provide humanitarian assistance.

THE IMPORTANCE OF YEAR-END DONATIONS: Direct Relief typically receives more than one-third of its total contributions in the fi nal eight weeks of the calendar year. Operating at a defi cit for 50 weeks per year, the organization relies heavily on year-end contributions to meet annual operating expenses.

TOP RANKED IN EFFICIENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND LEADERSHIP

Forbes magazine recognized Direct Relief for the fourth consecutive year as one of only eight nonprofi t organizations in the U.S. that is 100 percent effi cient in fundraising.

Consumers Digestranked Direct Relief the eighth most effi cient charity in America, with a program spending effi ciency of 99.1 percent. Direct Relief also ranked 13th overall in the costto raise $100.

The Nonprofi t Timesnamed Direct Relief the “Biggest Mover” of 2006, as the organization moved from number 100 to 53 inthis year’s “NPT 100” charity rankings.

INCREASED GROWTHFrom 1996 through 2006, Direct Relief has expanded its medical assistance program by 666 percent, while maintaining strict cost controls. In 1996, each dollar spent generated $14.30 in aid; in

fi scal year 2006, each dollar spent generated $25.51 in aid.

FedEx Direct Relief and FedEx are helping prepare California’s safety-net clinic system for natural or medical disasters through a statewide telemedicine system with the California Primary Care Association (CPCA). The CPCA will use the system to develop statewide emergency video conferencing communications, utilizing CPCA regional clinic groups as points of access. This will allow clinics and health centers throughout the state to support their colleagues in the event of a natural disaster or disease outbreak. For 15 years, FedEx has provided Direct Relief free transportation and logistical services to assist people worldwide.

ENHANCING DISASTERPREPAREDNESS CAPACITY IN CALIFORNIA

Abbott With fi nancial and material assistance from Abbott, Direct Relief and Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) in Cambodia are collaborating on a year-long nutrition education and support program. The partnership addresses the high incidence of pediatric malnutrition and will improve the health of thousands of Cambodian children and their families.

In Cambodia, malnutrition is a major contributor to early childhood mortality and is associated with more than half of all childhood deaths. Approximately 45 percent of children in Cambodia are underweight, and many suffer from specifi c micronutrient defi ciencies. The Abbott-funded nutrition program uses a multi-pronged approach to nutrition education through a team of nutrition education nurses, a demonstration cook, and a gardener. General principles of nutrition, healthy cooking, and growing nutritious plants are all emphasized in this innovative program designed for patients and their families.

Since 2003, Direct Relief has provided over $10 million dollars of medical material support to AHC. The most recent assistance included Abbott-donated nutritional and rehydration products to complement the nutrition program, as well as anti-infective agents and other pharmaceuticals specifi cally requested by the hospital.

Santa Barbara Wine CommunitySince 2000, the Santa Barbara Vintners’ Foundation has held a biennial wine auction to benefi t Direct Relief. The auction has presented the opportunity for one of the region’s fastest growing industries, which is gaining international notoriety for its wines, to rally together to put the “fruits of their success” toward a greater good. The Vintners look for perfect pairings in food and wines, and recognize a similar goal with Direct Relief, who looks for these pairings with health partners worldwide, providing them with the tools and materials they need in the places that need them the most. The Vintners’ auctions have raised over $1,020,000, which leveraged with Direct Relief’s unique ability to stretch donated dollars, has furnished over $30.6 million in medical material aid provided to those in need.

Direct Relief has also benefi ted from a winemaker dinner series that was the brain child of two of its board members, Phil Battaglia and Kate Firestone. The series, in its fourth year, provides the opportunity to introduce Direct Relief to new supporters in an elegant, yet casual and enjoyable environment. These events have raised over $450,000 for Direct Relief. It is an honor for Direct Relief to receive the generous support of the Santa Barbara County wine community.

AT HOME:HELPING PEOPLE WHO NEED A SAFETY NET

Direct Relief’s U.S. safety-net clinic support program has provided needed medicines to working poor and fi xed-income persons who are uninsured and would otherwise go without care, or pay high, non-negotiated rates for their prescriptions.

The program has strengthened the donation supply lines to low-income, uninsured patients in need of prescription medicines by targeting qualifi ed free clinics and community health centers. These are essential pieces of the healthcare safety-net for the more than 46 million people in the United States who are uninsured.

Since the inception of the domestic clinic support program in 2003, Direct Relief has provided $42.1 million (wholesale) of medicines and supplies. Direct Relief’s domestic partner network now includes over 150 clinics located throughout California and the Gulf States.

Direct Relief’s expansive efforts to support clinics serving hurricane-affected patients in the Gulf grew out of our statewide efforts in California over the previous two years. As Hurricanes Katrina and Rita illustrated, these clinics also serve as natural and essential components of an emergency medical response.

Direct Relief has been licensed by the California Board of Pharmacy for 45 years and recently became a licensed pharmacy distributor and wholesaler in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, and Texas. These licenses allow Direct Relief to assist resource-strapped clinics and develop effi cient channels for emergency response.

1. our approach: Direct Relief is nonsectarian and privately fi nanced. Our medical assistance programs equip health professionals working in resource- poor communities to better meet the challenges of diagnosing, treating, and caring for people without regard to politics, religion, gender, race, or ability to pay.

2. our partners: Direct Relief’s network of partners includes more than 300 healthcare facilities and organizations located in over 60 countries. Partner facilities range from small rural outposts to large hospitals serving thousands each day.

3. how we select partners: Partner institutions and organizations are selected through a rigorous qualifi cation process. The selection criteria include the extent of poverty and disease burden in the region, the knowledge and skill of the healthcare providers, and the quality of the services provided. Priority is given to facilities focusing on HIV/AIDS and providing educational and preventive services to mothers and children.

4. how we help: Direct Relief provides medicines, nutritional supplements, medical supplies, and equipment to approved partners. By encouraging healthcare companies to donate appropriate products, Direct Relief furnishes items specifi cally requested by facilities’ medical staffs. In the fi rst ten months of 2006, Direct Relief has provided aid to over 25 million people through 564 shipments. Direct Relief’s professional staff includes a Chief Medical Offi cer and two pharmacists, who review requests from partners to ensure that all medical donations are appropriate for the level and type of healthcare services being provided.

5. why it matters: Health has intrinsic value for every person, but it is also essential for people to learn, work, and make a living. In developing countries, fi nancing health services is extremely diffi cult. The trained health professionals in medically underserved communities represent the most important part of the healthcare infrastructure. Direct Relief’s support enables them to stay productively engaged so their patients can receive needed care.

6. shared investment and self-help:To ensure a shared stake in the assistance provided, Direct Relief

requests that each partner assume responsibility for a portion of the port charges and the in-country transportation costs from port-of- entry to destination.

7. leading companies trust us:Direct Relief works closely with the philanthropic initiatives of

dozens of healthcare companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfi zer, Abbott, BD, Bristol- Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, and MidMark Corporation. For a complete list of our medical product donors, see page 7.

8. our experience and qualifi cations:Direct Relief’s programmatic approach has been refi ned by 58 years

of experience. We are a licensed wholesale pharmacy, and our staff has vast experience in international health and development. Visit our web site to see a complete list of our credentials and qualifi cations (www.DirectRelief.org).

Direct Relief has collaborated with Leiner Health Products, the largest private label vitamin manufacturer in the U.S., to provide high-dose capsules of vitamin A over a three-year period to El Salvador’s FUDEM to distribute through its clinic system in the country’s poorest regions. FUDEM, which provides visual screenings for 63,000 El Salvadoran children, will administer the capsules to patients once every six months for three years.

According to a USAID-funded national survey, one out of every three children under fi ve years of age in El Salvador is vitamin A defi cient. Vitamin A Defi ciency (VAD) is the most common cause of preventable blindness in children worldwide and leads to increased morbidity and risk of mortality.

The Women for Direct Relief, a support group comprised of community member supporters and members of the Direct Relief board of directors, embarked on a trip to El Salvador to help distribute the vitamin A capsules to children in rural areas.

During three days of a mobile medical and visual campaign visiting three different towns, nearly 1,700 people

of all ages received eye screenings and examinations. If diagnosed with poor sight, either a new pair of glasses were provided on the spot (447 received reading glasses, 141 prescription glasses) or an appointment for follow-up service was scheduled. In addition, each child from six months to fi ve years of age received a high-dose vitamin A capsule, as well as a tablet of the antiworm medication albendazole.

OUR PARTNERSIn the fi rst ten months of 2006, Direct Relief partnered with local health professionals in 55 countries to provide medical assistance. The total wholesale value of this support was over $101 million.

In the last ten years, medical technology company BD (Becton Dickinson) and Direct Relief have had a successful relationship helping people in developing countries and disaster-ravaged areas by supplying and delivering specifi cally-requested medical supplies to medically underserved communities. In 2007, BD employees will get a chance to experience the challenges and successes of Direct Relief’s partners in Ghana fi rst-hand.

Working side by side with clinic staff from Maranatha Maternity Clinic and Motoka Clinic, volunteers from BD will play a direct role in the positive health outcomes of women and children in Ghana. From upgrading lab facilities to helping construct a clinic in a rural village, they will immerse themselves in the daily realities of Direct Relief’s partner organizations and return home with a new appreciation of the public health system and struggles in Ghana and the developing world.

Located in West Africa, Ghana has a population of over 22 million, with a life expectancy at birth of 49 years of age and child mortality at approximately 112 per 1,000 births (WHO). Although the Ghanaian government has worked to build and stock health facilities throughout the country, the most rural communities have virtually no medical care, and people must travel several hours to reach the nearest health provider. This unique partnership between BD and Direct Relief will bring sorely needed medical equipment and supplies to rural Ghana, while also upgrading these two specifi c facilities to become major medical centers in the region.

PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKEFurnished $8.7 million in medical assistance to the region while providing 1.5 million courses of treatment

Nearly 60 years of disaster response experience has taught Direct Relief that traumatic injuries caused by earthquakes require extensive long-term care and rehabilitation. In recognition of this, Direct Relief has focused its available fi nancial support for the Pakistan earthquake on organizations, facilities, and programs involved in rehabilitative medicine – ranging from prosthetics to physical and occupational therapy.

Direct Relief fi nanced one of fi ve prosthetic centers for the Pakistan Institute of Prosthetic and Orthotic Sciences (PIPOS) for two years, covering everything from salaries to the materials used to create new prosthetic limbs for injured patients. PIPOS is the eminent amputee hospital in the country and provides new artifi cial limbs for patients at its fi ve clinic sites. In the aftermath of the earthquake, PIPOS has been the only prosthetic and orthotic organization to keep its doors open.

DISASTER RELIEF AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

HURRICANES KATRINA AND RITA

Furnished $31 million in post-hurricane assistance to the Gulf Coast, composed of $26.8 million in medical material aid and $4.27 million of targeted fi nancial resources to rebuild the health infrastructure

Direct Relief’s support efforts have been aimed at both the major anchor facilities that provide specialized services and the network of safety-net clinics that play the key role in caring for people who have little money and no insurance.

Direct Relief continues to support the Gulf Coast region. Recently, the Capitol City Family Health Center (CCFHC) in Baton Rouge received $106,716 to support their community health center. CCFHC provides preventative and primary care to residents living in medically underserved communities in the city of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, CCFHC provided medical and dental services for more than 800 hurricane evacuees, of which 74 percent were uninsured.

The fi nancial assistance will cover comprehensive medical and dental visits for 264 patients over a one year period, including medical and diagnostic equipment, supplies, laboratory fees, and the yearly salaries for a case manager and a consultant who will coordinate outreach efforts to hurricane evacuees that remain in FEMA trailer parks.

The same programmatic standards apply whether providing ongoing assistance or disaster relief – we must know specifi cally what is required, who is responsible, how the material will be used, and whether there is a secure

logistics channel. Following these principles, in 2006, Direct Relief responded to fi ve disasters around the globe.

2004 SOUTH ASIA TSUNAMI

Provided over $55.5 million in direct aid to tsunami-affected areas since December 2004, including $44.7 million in medical material aid and $11.8 million in targeted cash assistance

Direct Relief’s tsunami response efforts, consistent with the organization’s overall philosophy, helped to strengthen and rebuild the local health infrastructure. During the last two years, the results of Direct Relief’s tsunami-response efforts include:

• To strengthen local health infrastructure, Direct Relief funded the construction and rehabilitation of 52 community clinics and hospitals in India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka;

• To reach displaced and remote populations, Direct Relief purchased 13 ambulances, 4 mobile medical units with diagnostic capacity, and 18 medical support vehicles for India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka;

• To provide safe drinking water and prevent spread of communicable diseases, Direct Relief funded construction of 627 water wells, 871 toilets, and the cleaning of 5,303 wells of debris and salt water in Sri Lanka and Indonesia.

Give the gift that tells someone youcare about them...and others!

If you would like to give a gift in honor of someone, we can mail a tribute card by award winning photojournalist Jodie Willard directly to your family, friends, or business associates telling them you’ve made a generous donation in their honor. These cards are also available for purchase if you would like to use them for the holidays.

By purchasing one Direct Relief tribute card, you make it possible to provide a full course of medical treatment for approximately100 people.
