of Service and a History of Healing

Dear Friend, It’s not too often that I start off a letter with a proc-lamation, but this one seems more than fitting: HAPPY 100TH ANNIVERSARY, BOYS TOWN!

On December 12, 2017, Boys Town will celebrate its Centennial Anniversary of bringing hope and healing to America’s children and families. It was on that date, a century ago, that Father Edward Flanagan ignited a revolution in child care by opening his first Home for Boys in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. That Home would soon become known worldwide as Boys Town, and the mission he launched continues today because dedicated, caring supporters like you believe every child deserves a happy, healthy life and an opportunity to reach his or her full potential.

To mark this historic milestone, Boys Town is enjoying a year-long series of celebratory events and materials aimed at recognizing our life-changing legacy, our generous donors and our dedicated employees. This special edition of our Boys Town Annual Report is one of those materials. While the Report contains information on the achievements of 2016, much of it focuses on our history, the pride and happiness we want to share with all of our friends and partners, and some of the ways we are celebrating this historic milestone. These include special gatherings, the unveiling of a new Brother and Sister statue and a set of Commemorative Coins created by the United States Mint.

A hundred years is a long time for anything to last, especially an organization that initially survived and thrived only because one man had an unshak-able faith and an unwavering belief that people would not – and could not – let children suffer.

Boys Town has helped change the lives of tens of thousands of boys and girls and has improved the futures of countless families over our 10 decades of service to America. As we mark our Centennial, we most of all want to celebrate each of those person-al victories and the impact they’ve had on making our communities and our nation stronger.

As you read through this special Annual Report, we hope you are moved to learn more about our ongoing mission and we pray you are inspired to continue to partner with us as we begin our second century of lifting up and creating a brighter future for those in greatest need.

Again, thank you for your support and your com-mitment to helping children and families.

God’s Blessings,

Father Steven E. Boes President and National Executive Director, Boys Town

“…caring supporters like you believe every child deserves a happy, healthy life…”

From Father Flanagan’s first Home for Boys in downtown Omaha to an iconic “Two Brothers” image, from the first girl graduates to an explo-sion of youth, health, family and community services, Boys Town’s life-changing care has spanned generations to bring hope and healing to America’s most vulnerable children and families.

Play has always been an essential part of Boys Town’s approach to helping children. At Boys Town, kids can just be kids, enjoying the experiences that make up a happy, memorable childhood.

at Boys Town...Through the Years

In 1917, Father Edward J. Flanagan founded a home for boys based on new concepts of care that were far ahead of their time. Father Flanagan’s revolutionary approach focused on meeting the individual needs of children, fostering their indi-vidual spirit, and advocating love and understand-ing, a radical departure from how youngsters were treated in that era.

The first Boys Town Home was opened in a former boardinghouse located in downtown Omaha. Within weeks of welcoming its first residents, the Home was filled with over 70 boys, and the build-ing’s rooms were bursting at the seams. The house was so cramped for space that the boys had to eat in shifts in the dining room because they couldn’t all sit down at the same time.

The boys quickly outgrew the original Home, and Father Flanagan relocated the youngsters in

his care to the larger German-American Home in South Omaha. That building had huge sleeping rooms and a dining area where the boys could all eat at the same time. There were even several rooms that could be used as classrooms. The daily life of the boys revolved around their schooling, and after classes, they could play outside in the large yard.

The boys played marbles, baseball and other games the year round. Each resident also was assigned chores, from helping with the cooking to feeding the milk cow. Everyone had to pitch in to make the Home succeed.

In 1921, the Home made a major (and final move) to Overlook Farm, west of Omaha. The boys embraced their rural lifestyle, willingly taking on the responsi-bilities of making the Home self-sufficient. One boy wrote this about a typical day during the summer: “…It is morning and we are all glad to be up. We put on our hats, clean the bright pails for milking and going down the path, we hear the birds singing… We go and give the horses a good breakfast… we must not forget the chickens. We go to the shed and throw the corn out… Now we must eat our break-fast so we can get to work ploughing….”

Life at Boys Town was not all work. The boys could swim in the pool, play games and use their new handball courts. One of the boys wrote in 1925 that “…Father Flanagan wants us to play this game (handball) for he says that it is good all-around exercise and that it will make us strong and healthy….”

A Day in the Life

Continued on pg 10


From Boys Town’s earliest days, we have focused on strength-ening children in body, mind and spirit.

…Boys Town, a caring home where kids feel a sense of belonging and community pride…

10 | boystown.org

As the population of the Village continued to grow, Father Flanagan had four large dormitories con-structed to house 100 boys each. The boys lived in groups of 25, each with an older boy, a commis-sioner, assigned to oversee their daily life. Each day, the boys would eat their meals in the Dining Hall (today the Hall of History) and attend classes in the Omaha building, which served as the Vil-lage’s school at the time. A typical day also includ-ed homework, prayers, chores and having fun.

In the late 1930s, Father Flanagan made the deci-sion to move forward with a major expansion plan that would enable Boys Town to care for over a thousand boys. By the late 1940s, 25 cottages had been built to house over 500 high school boys.

Dormitory life was the norm at Boys Town un-til the mid-1970s when the Home adopted the Family Home Program, a breakthrough in provid-ing residential care for children. In this program, six to eight youth live in each of 60 single-family homes, receiving daily care from a trained couple called Family-Teachers®. Boys Town moved to this family-based approach in order to provide more effective treatment and care for youth who were arriving with more complex problems. These problems included coming from families broken by divorce, abusing drugs and alcohol, and suffer-ing serious behavioral and emotional disorders. In 1979, Boys Town admitted its first girls to the Family Home Program.

Over the next several decades, Boys Town contin-ued to improve and expand its programs, all while bringing hope and healing to tens of thousands of children. Today, the Village is a place where mira-cles of the heart happen every day.

On a typical day, the boys and girls attend school, participate in extracurricular activities, prepare and eat meals with their Family-Teachers and other youth, complete chores and homework, and go on an outing or play a game as a family. Some youth may go to work at an off-campus job.

One of the primary tools Boys Town employs to help youth learn and use new skills and positive behaviors is a motivation system. Every day, youth earn positive points for their positive behaviors and negative points for their negative behaviors. When they accumulate a set amount of positive points for the day, they can exchange them for privileges like snacks, free time and special activities. This system ultimately helps the boys and girls replace negative behaviors with positive, prosocial behaviors, bring-ing about real change.

Continued from pg 8

In the 1970s, the changing needs and more serious problems of America’s youth led Boys Town to adopt a residential program that provided more intensive, individualized care in single-family homes.


Youth and their Family-Teachers also gather every day for a Family Meeting. At these meetings, youth discuss important issues, learn how to solve prob-lems involving the home and family, build healthy family relationships, and develop and practice skills that help them make good decisions.

Boys Town kids also enjoy numerous opportunities to just be kids, from summertime fishing and riding a bike across campus to sledding in the winter and cheering on Boys Town Cowboy sports teams.

Growing up, maturing and developing skills in a healthy Family Home environment prepares our youth for success as productive adults after they leave Boys Town.

Continued on pg 12

Continued from pg 11

Every summer, the youth enjoy a family vacation at Boys Town’s camp on Lake Okoboji in north-ern Iowa, where Family-Teachers continue their teaching and make all of the fun activities there part of each youth’s therapeutic care. In all of these activities, the focus is on teaching youth the skills that will help them achieve success and develop healthy, positive relationships.

While Boys Town has constantly changed to meet the changing needs of America’s children, one thing has remained constant over the past cen-tury. Just as the boys and girls who came before them, Boys Town youth develop a unique sense of belonging and identity, and a deep sense of pride in the small-town community where they find a second chance and a new direction in life.

For them, Boys Town will always be HOME!


Boys Town Leadership Even though all of Boys Town’s National Executive Directors have been Catholic priests, Boys Town has always been nonsectarian and nondenominational, serving youth and families of all religious backgrounds.

Shortly after moving his Home for Boys to Overlook Farm, Father Flanagan sketched out plans for expanding his community so more boys could get the help they needed. Today, the Village of Boys Town, Nebraska, has one of the largest residential programs for youth in the country and serves as the organization’s administrative, research and program development headquarters. Above all, it is a square mile in the Midlands where miracles of the heart happen every day.

A New Symbol for a New Era

Just as Boys Town has evolved over the past 100 years to become one of America’s largest child and family service organizations, so too has one of our most iconic symbols.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of our found-ing, we have re-created our Two Brothers statue as “The Work Continues” statue, a modern repre-sentation of the care we provide to boys and girls all over the country. The power of the original statue’s story remains (“He ain’t heavy, Father… he’s my brother”), but our new statue, featuring

a Brother and Sister design, will enable us to show our continued commitment to all children as well as their families.

To preserve our legacy as our mission grows, the Two Brothers statue remains as a central part of our history. In fact, our new statue and our historic Two Brothers statue both are prominently displayed in the Village of Boys Town, Nebraska.

“The Work Continues” statue was officially dedicat-ed during an unveiling ceremony on June 6, 2017.

‘The Work Continues’ Statue:

“The Work Continues” statue represents a passing of the torch from one historic iconic symbol to another, ushering Boys Town into its next 100 years of service to America’s children, families and communities.


“…a modern representation of the care we provide to boys and girls all over the country.”

Sculptor Matthew Placzek’s new statue beautifully captures the spirit of unselfish giving we teach our boys and girls, while faithfully representing Boys Town’s mission, today and for the future.

ABOUT THE ARTIST/SCULPTOR

Matthew Placzek has been translating his fascination with sculptural composition into inspiring works of art for more than three decades. The Omaha-based sculptor’s work is prominently showcased outside a variety of venues throughout the city. He also has created smaller pieces for display at more than 20 universities and hospitals around the country, and at several international companies. Placzek was commissioned to create “The Work Continues” statue in 2012 and sculpted three large versions, which served as models for smaller versions.

Mogens Bay, the Chairman and CEO of Valmont Industries in Omaha, Nebraska, has served on the Boys Town Board of Trustees since 2013. When Bay learned of plans for the new statue, he and his wife Cindy offered to pay for one statue themselves and dedicate it to Tony and Simone Jones, a long-time Boys Town Family-Teaching Couple. (Tony is a former youth and graduate of Boys Town.)

The Bays met the Joneses during a visit to their Boys Town Family Home soon after Bay joined the Board. The Bays were so moved by their experi-ence with the Joneses and the boys in their care that they developed a close relationship with the whole family. It’s not uncommon for Bay to visit the Home just to see how the boys are doing. “Tony and Simone, they really love those kids,” Bay said. “Kids that are not exposed to love and respect when they’re young most likely would be incapa-ble of giving it when they grow up. And Tony and

Simone, they are the poster couple for how to do that. They’ve been doing it for many years, and they do it incredibly well.”

The Bays chose this wording for their statue’s dedication plaque:

THIS STATUE WAS GIFTED BY

CINDY AND MOGENS BAY

IN RECOGNITION OF

TONY AND SIMONE JONES

FOR THEIR DEDICATION TO

FATHER FLANAGAN’S VISION AND THEIR

EXEMPLARY SERVICE AS FAMILY-TEACHERS

FUNDING OUR NEW STATUES: GIFTS FROM THE HEART

Two of the three new “The Work Continues” statues were gifted to Boys Town thanks to the generosity of Boys Town supporters Cindy and Mogens Bay, and Dr. Leo and Susan McCarthy.

Mogens Bay and his wife Cindy (right, in first photo) surprised Boys Town Family-Teachers Tony and Simone Jones by recog-nizing their more than 20 years of caring for youth.


Dr. Leo McCarthy’s relationship with Boys Town dates back to his childhood.

Growing up in Omaha, the home where Dr. McCarthy was raised by his grandfather and grandmother was just a few doors down from the home of legendary Boys Town coach Maurice “Skip” Palrang. Dr. McCarthy’s grandfather, Michael “Hank” Cruise, knew Boys Town founder Father Edward Flanagan, and helped the priest find the piece of farmland west of Omaha where the Village of Boys Town stands today.

An all-state athlete at Omaha Creighton Prep, Dr. McCarthy worked as an athletic assistant at the Home in the 1950s and later trained with Boys Town track coach George Pfeifer. Pfeifer’s guidance helped Dr. McCarthy set the track record in the 100-yard dash (9.7 seconds) at Creighton University

in 1959. Dr. McCarthy also remembers attending Midnight Mass at Boys Town at Christmas and listening to the Boys Town Choir.

Dr. McCarthy, now of Indianapolis, maintained his relationship with Boys Town over the years. When the opportunity to fund one of the new statues came along, Dr. McCarthy said he had an “epiphany,” realizing what an immense impact Boys Town had on his life.

“I felt I should fund the statue and dedicate it to my grandfather,” he said.

Dr. McCarthy and his wife Susan chose this wording for their statue’s dedication plaque:

of Boys Town’s Century of Service

Boys Town has a wonderful story to tell about its history and its legacy as a national leader in child and family care. It is a story that started with the impossible dream of a young immigrant priest. It is a story of hope, perseverance and overcoming tremendous odds. Fortunately, for children and families in need of competent, compassionate care, today and in the future, it is a story that will continue to unfold.

Sustaining the vision of our founder, Father Edward Flanagan, requires humility, sacrifice, forethought, daring and reinvention. Throughout our first 100 years, countless individuals brought new ideas, new energy and new talents to the mission. Their efforts, large and small, propelled Boys Town for-ward. As the problems and struggles of America’s children and families grew more complex, Boys Town adapted and answered the call.

Today’s Boys Town is a far cry from the small home for boys that opened in downtown Omaha a century ago. With its scenic home campus and headquarters in Nebraska and with sites across the country, Boys Town has grown and expanded

its reach so more children and families can benefit from our unique treatment approach. But even with all the changes, we’ve been careful to pre-serve the core principles that have enabled us to successfully help so many for so long.

Boys Town has always been in the “business” of helping people lead better lives. For some, this means escaping the hurt and pain of abuse and neglect. For others, it means learning how to head off a crisis and bring order and stability to a dysfunctional home so a family can stay together. For still others, it means tapping into Boys Town’s vast experience and expertise to ensure children are being nurtured and raised with positive values and skills that will enable them to be successful as adults and caretakers of their own families.

As Boys Town moves into its second century, it will continue to shine as a beacon of hope for all of America, ignited by faith, dedication and love; sustained through knowledge, research and experience; and forever burning brightly because so many people believe every child deserves a happy, healthy, productive life.

Boys Town founder Father Edward Flanagan had a unique talent for coining a phrase that helped people understand why the mission of caring for troubled children was so important.

“When you help a child today, you write the history of tomorrow.”

“There are no bad boys, only bad environments, bad training, and bad examples.”

“The work will continue, you see, whether I am there or not, because it is God’s work, not mine.”

Now, in celebration of Boys Town’s 100th Anniver-sary as a national leader in child and family care, these inspiring messages, along with memorable Boys Town images, are available in a unique set of three beautiful commemorative coins from the United States Mint.

We study the vestibular system to change how balance disorders are diagnosed and treated. We use video games and brain scans to change the path of a troubled child’s life. We change the way tiny ears are fitted with hearing aids and we change how children see and hear the sights and sounds of the world around them.

For the last four decades, Boys Town National Research Hospital has been internationally recog-nized as a leader in clinical and research programs focusing on childhood deafness, visual impairment and related communication disorders. We have as-sembled national leaders in research who are making important contributions in the areas of genetics, hearing, language, vision and speech disorders. Ap-plying our findings with new technologies, distance learning and the exploration of new research fron-tiers, the opportunities for new medical diagnoses, evaluation and treatment discoveries are endless.

Today, the Hospital offers a broad range of hospital and clinic services, backed by 40 years of life-chang-ing research, to provide the latest, most-innovative care to our patients. From acute pediatric inpatient

hospitalization and surgical services to outpatient clinic visits to residential care for children and adolescents with severe behavioral disorders, our board-certified specialists and highly trained pe-diatric nurses are focused on caring for the unique needs of children and their families.

Boys Town Hospital has two Omaha locations — the original Hospital near downtown and one on Boys Town’s home campus (Boys Town National Research Hospital–West) — with a total of 67 acute licensed beds. Clinic services provided at six locations in Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa, include general pediatric care with Boys Town Pediatrics; ear, nose and throat services (including audiology) at the Boys Town Ear, Nose and Throat Institute; internal medi-cine and pediatric specialty care in gastroenterology, allergy, asthma and pulmonology; and behavioral health, orthopedic and ophthalmologic care.

As we move forward, Boys Town Hospital will contin-ue to expand its research efforts, leading the charge in neurobehavioral research to study and improve methods for intervening early in the lives of children with behavioral and mental health problems.

“Boys Town National Research Hospital is all about the mission,” said John Arch, Executive Vice President of Health Care. “The challenge before us is that our mission never ends. We will continue to pioneer research to improve care and better the lives of children and families, everywhere.”

Translating research to change the way America cares for children, families and communities.

The official opening ceremony of the $13 million Boys Town Institute for Communication Disorders in Children (later renamed Boys Town National Research Hospital) in 1977 included a blessing from the Omaha archbish-op and the unveiling of a Two Brothers statue outside the facility.

Opened in 2004, the Lied Learning and Technology Center for Childhood Deafness and Vision Disorders is equipped with state-of-the-art research laboratories, educational facilities and rehabilitative services for children with hearing loss, visual impairment and other communication disorders.

Dr. Patrick Brookhouser, the founding director of the Hospital, was a visionary whose gifts as a physician, researcher and surgeon made him an extraordinary steward for Father Flanagan’s dream to help children. Dr. Brookhouser passed away in 2011.

Besides offering care and treatment through its Omaha-area pediatric clinics, the Hospital provides educational programs, including a preschool for stu-dents who are deaf and hard-of-hearing.

Boys Town operates two accredited hospitals, providing acute inpatient care, surgical services and diagnostic imaging, and offering specialized care to young patients.

Hospital researchers were instrumental in the development of the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening to detect hearing loss at birth. This screening is now mandated across the United States before a newborn leaves a hospital.


The state-of-the-art Boys Town Center for Neurobehavioral Research features the latest in fMRI technolo-gy to study and develop the best practices to treat behavioral and mental health problems in children.

A whole new world of communication opened up for Chloe Brauer (above) and her big sister Sydney when Chloe became the recipient of the Hospi-tal’s milestone 500th cochlear implant in 2012. The Hospital’s Cochlear Im-plant Center has been helping children and adults with severe or profound hearing loss for more than two decades.

The recently expanded Residential Treatment Center at Boys Town National Research Hospital–West provides specialized treatment for children with serious behavioral and mental health disorders.

in Film and Print

Boys Town completed two special projects in 2017 to commemorate and share the story of the organiza-tion’s first 100 years of service to America’s children and families.

Celebrating a Century

“THE WORK WILL CONTINUE” is a 27-minute documentary that tells the Boys Town story through rare archival footage, new video, photographs and interviews with former Boys Town youth, Boys Town employees and others who have played a role in the mission and history of the Home over the past century. The documentary will be shown at many of Boys Town’s affiliate sites during fundraising events, and is available to view online at boystown.org/100.

“THE BOYS TOWN STORY: 100 YEARS” is a 256-page coffee-table book that celebrates the revolutionary approach to child care that created Boys Town and the determined work and public support that helped it grow and evolve. The book also represents the countless young people and families that have courageously overcome their challenges and transformed their lives with Boys Town’s help.

Besides providing the historical narrative of Boys Town’s founding and development, authors Thomas Lynch and Terry Hyland also describe how Boys Town is prepared to carry on its critical work to provide life-changing care to future generations of children and families.

Both the Boys Town Centennial documentary (on DVD) and coffee-table book can be ordered through the Boys Town Gift Shop at boystowngifts.org.

Amanda J. Gibbs Regional Major Gift Officer – Development

402-350-6315 [email protected]

MIDWEST REGION

Stan Kontogiannis Regional Major Gift Officer – Development


Stan has been working for Boys Town for three years but has been in fundraising for more than 20 years. He is a true believer in Boys Town’s mission and Father Flanagan’s vision to make a positive difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. Stan enjoys hearing donors’ stories on how they first became Boys Town supporters. For most, it involved a desire to carry on a tradition of generosity started by their parents and grandparents. “I always encourage our friends and partners in the Midwest Region to visit the Village of Boys Town so they can see the great work they make possible and the warm smiles of the children whose lives their generosity has changed,” Stan said.

One of Amanda’s greatest passions in life is forming connections with others. When she discovered she could use that talent at Boys Town to help youth and families in crisis, it was as if the stars had aligned for her. Amanda’s seven years at our Boys Town Nevada site and, most recently, the three years she has worked as a dedicated Major Gift Officer for the South Region have been the most fulfilling of her life. Her favorite part of the job is learning from our wonderful donors why they choose to so generously help us help America’s youth, and she considers herself lucky to be a part of this outstanding organization.

Alison joined Boys Town in March 2016, quickly embrac-ing Boys Town’s mission and our 100-year history of serving children and families. Alison spent many years in fundraising for nonprofits, including human assistance, higher education and international relief services. She was familiar with Boys Town as a child, having attended a Catholic school that presented an annual showing of the Boys Town movie every Christmas. Alison has been working hard to share our story with friends of Boys Town in the West Region and enlist their support for our life-changing work.

EAST REGION

Steve Milbauer, Ph.D. Regional Major Gift Officer – Development


Steve was thrilled to join Boys Town in June 2017 as the dedicated Major Gift Officer for the East Region. His fundraising successes span more than 20 years, serving nonprofit, academic, social service, health care and Native American organizations. Steve’s prior career as a clinical psychologist enables him to passionately articu-late to our generous donors the critical needs of children and families Boys Town serves and how we impact their lives. He is dedicated to developing long-lasting, trans-formative relationships with donors, the lifeblood of our organization. “I am so grateful for their partnership in helping us provide at-risk children the love, support and education they need to succeed,” he said.

America’s Children, Families and Communities

Boys Town prides itself on our national reach and the positive outcomes our services produce. When children and families get the help they need and then actually experience improvements in their homes and their lives, it is a hallmark of what Boys Town has been accomplishing since our founding 100 years ago. We know children and families get better because we have the research to prove it. And we use our research findings to identify innovative, more effective ways to help people overcome the challenges they face.

A number of core principles drive Boys Town’s Mission to change the way America cares for children, families and communities.

Among these are providing the right care, at the right time, in the right way for those in greatest need. Whether children are being abused or neglected, failing in school or struggling with behavioral or mental health issues, and whether families are struggling to stay together or are try-ing to reunify because a child had to be removed from the home, Boys Town is there to offer life-changing programs and services.

On these pages you’ll find just a few examples of our outreach and impact across the country. This

“national footprint” is one thing that sets Boys Town apart and gains the trust of those we help and those who support us.

Since 2004, Godfather’s Pizza has been a proud national sponsor of Boys Town, featuring the Boys Town National Hotline® number (800-448-3000) on millions of pizza boxes each year.

Over the past 12 years, Godfather’s Pizza has donated more than $2 million to support Boys Town, our life-changing services, and the youth and families we serve.

In 2016, Godfather’s Pizza Inc. (GPI) employees contributed their time, talents and financial gifts to support the reading program at Boys Town’s Wegner School and our Ames Avenue Block Party in North Omaha. They also volunteer annually to ensure the success of the silent auction during the Boys Town Booster Banquet, which raises money for Boys Town athletic programs and activities. Kathy Johnson, Senior Vice President of Franchise Services at Godfather’s, is a member of the Boys Town Boosters.

Godfather’s even features artwork from Boys Town students on its corporate Christmas cards and on those of the company’s CEO, Ron Gartlan. Gartlan has been a strong advocate for Boys Town’s summer homes, which care for boys and girls who cannot return to their own homes during the summer break, and has hired our youth at Godfather’s restaurants.

The dedication and commitment of Godfather’s Pizza – its employees and leaders – to Boys Town’s mission over the past 12 years is a shining example of corporate and community partnership, and we thank them for helping to make a difference in the lives of the kids in our care!

Godfather’s Pizza, for over 12 years of loyal support!

took me off that path and started

showing me the light. I don’t

know how it happened. I am very

grateful. Thank you Boys Town.”

“When I came to Boys Town, I was

just here to do time. I walked like a

Boys Town youth, talked like a Boys

Town youth, acted like a Boys Town

youth, but my heart wasn’t in it. But

then something happened. I started

liking being a Boys Town youth.

You taught me how to love

my parents again. I learned to care

for my friends and, most of all, how

to love God. The love I found has

brought a significant change in me,

a change of heart, a change of mind

and a change of spirit. Thank you

Boys Town.” — DUSTI

“When I first came, I was a terrible mess, a troublemaker.

One day I realized that Boys Town was

a home. They gave me a place where

I really counted, a real family, a real

home. I didn’t have to worry about

being beaten or being scared. They

allowed me the opportunity to grad-

uate. I’ve been in JROTC and a leader

on campus. I’ve done sports all three

years. I successfully maintained a 3.0

GPA. Thank you Boys Town.” — HARRY

“When I came to Boys Town, I didn’t

care anymore. I didn’t even care about myself. I was numb.

The only way I ever felt anything was

if I cut on myself. I was covered with

scars. I couldn’t begin to count the

number of times I tried to kill myself.

At first, I was scared – mostly because

I was lonely. I missed my home.

Deep down, I loved my family. I was

angry and hurt that my parents

brought me here.

Boys Town has given me the oppor-

tunity to make changes that I could

never make. They are amazing people.

God has truly blessed me.” — SYLVIA

For 100 years, Boys Town’s growth and success in saving children and healing families has been possible thanks to generous donations and the foresight and courage of Father Flanagan. Boys Town maintains high standards of fiscal responsi-bility, working to ensure that its resources will last for generations to come to serve America’s children, families and communities.

Flanagan’s Hope for Endowment Fulfilled

In 1930, in the heart of the Great Depression, Father Flanagan wrote that he hoped Boys Town could set up “an endowment fund, the interest of which will pay for the upkeep of our home, so that it will be unnecessary for us to spend a good portion of our time in the appeal and collection of funds.”

Boys Town established the Father Flanagan’s Fund for Needy Children (Fund for Needy Children) in 1941 to provide investment income to support current programs and investment growth to sustain these programs in future years.

Helping Children Today and Into the Future

The Fund for Needy Children is operated as a de facto restricted fund for the purpose of helping children today and into the future. All current unre-stricted donations – direct mail, wills and bequests – are spent on the direct care of children.

None of these donations are put in the Fund for Needy Children unless directed by the donor. Today, as Boys Town continues to balance the competing needs of current and future generations, the Fund for Needy Children is as important as the day it was established.

Based on expected investment returns and inflation factors, the Fund for Needy Children should spend, on average, between 4 and 5 percent of its market value in order to maintain its purchasing power.

Reasonable Risk-Taking to Help More Children

Father Flanagan and his successors trusted God’s goodness and took reasonable risks in order to help more and more children. Boys Town is what it is today because of this trust and risk-taking.

Fisca l Strength


Sound Investments, Solid Management

During 2016, the Father Flanagan’s Fund for Needy Children provided $44,782,000 of support, or 10.98 percent of the funds necessary to operate Boys Town. This was 5.2 percent of the Fund’s January 1, 2016, value.

Sound investments and solid management of the Fund for Needy Children has allowed it to provide stable support for Boys Town at times when markets have been volatile.

Boys Town always strives to be prudent with the dollars received from outside sources, including donations from the public.

In 2016, 86.36 percent of every dollar received was spent on the care of children. Supporting services comprised only 13.64 percent of total expenses, which is significantly lower than the national benchmark of 35 percent the not-for-profit industry utilizes.
