Rising to the Challenge
The Children’s Aid Society
2005 Annual Report
Child. Family. Future.
Mission Statement
The mission of The Children’s Aid Society is to ensure the physical and emotional well being
of underserved children and families. To fulfill our mission, we provide each child we serve
with the support and opportunities needed to become a happy, healthy and successful adult.
We assist over 150,000 of New York City’s children and their families each year regardless
of race, religion, nationality or socio-economic status. Children’s Aid’s services address
every aspect of a child’s life, from infancy through adolescence, and provide the guidance and
resources a family needs to ensure its children’s well being. With over 40 sites in New York
and an annual operating budget of over $76 million, The Children’s Aid Society today is one
of the country’s largest non-sectarian child and family welfare agencies in the country. The
Children’s Aid Society is a leader in progressive, cost-effective programs; CAS spends ninetytwo cents out of every dollar directly on services to children.

Letter from the President
The Children’s Aid Society helps New York City’s children grow and evolve, and
like those children, Children’s Aid itself continually evolves. I am proud to be
president of Children’s Aid as we develop our services through review, evaluation
and, when needed, expansion.
Health is especially important to me as a pediatrician and adolescent specialist.
Increasing numbers of America’s children lack access to health care, but
Children’s Aid helps many families enroll in public health insurance and receive
the care they need; we also proudly provide asthma, obesity prevention, dental
care and mental health services, among others, in our centers and schools. CAS
seeks to blaze new trails in health care as well as in public education, foster care
and juvenile justice, to provide a full range of services to every child.
Angela Diaz, MD, MPH
President
All three of my own children participated in CAS programs, eventually working
in different volunteer capacities throughout the agency. I myself have had the
remarkable opportunity to serve CAS as a doctor as well as a member and officer
of the Board of Trustees. My multiple associations with Children’s Aid enable me
to truly embrace its mission.
I follow in some great footsteps as president: Charlton Phelps (the first female
president), Nicholas Scoppetta, Edward Lamont and the late John Griswold,
each of whom I thank for their strong leadership. My friend Edgar Koerner, who
continues to serve as chairman, has had a lengthy, hands-on relationship with
Children’s Aid. My heartfelt gratitude goes to the Trustees, staff, benefactors and
volunteers for their ongoing support.
We are approaching a key change in leadership. CEO Philip Coltoff set new
standards for the provision of services to poor children, so we’re particularly
pleased that we will continue to benefit from his counsel as special advisor after
the leadership transition in October. I know that the quality of our services and
leadership on important issues will continue uninterrupted in the capable hands
of C. Warren Moses. I look forward to facing the future with him, as well as with
Dr. William Weisberg, our newly appointed associate executive director and with
officers of the Board of Trustees.

“On My Watch”— Philip Coltoff
As my role at The Children’s Aid Society shifts from chief executive officer to
that of special advisor, I can’t help but look back over my 40 years at CAS. It’s
been both a wonderful journey and an enormous challenge, full of opportunities
to serve the children and families of New York.
My tenure with Children’s Aid has provided me with an outlet to connect my
personal views and beliefs of social justice and equal opportunity with an
organization that has a long history of extolling these ideals. I cherish
the opportunity I have been afforded—one so few people have—to
work with and lead an institution that so corresponds with one’s
own beliefs. Children’s Aid has given me a chance to help make our
society and institutions work better for those they serve, especially
children.
I have a profound respect for the founders of CAS and for those who
support it: the Board, donors and funders. Former Executive Director
Victor Remer, whom I succeeded, was, and continues to be, a sizable
influence on the agency and me personally.
Philip Coltoff
Chief Executive Officer
In order to meet the challenges facing low-income children and
families, Children’s Aid utilizes every resource in its toolkit.
Our greatest resource is our dedicated and capable staff—their
professionalism and training have allowed them to tackle the countless problems
faced by the populations we serve. I also have tremendous respect for our
clients, the people we strive to help, our raison d’etre. We are always mindful of
our purpose as an organization: to be of service and assistance to the poor. With
their input, Children’s Aid can function as their voice and advocate.
Conventional wisdom tells us that organizations should remain “on mission.”
Staying true to objectives is important, but a mission statement can’t—and
shouldn’t—be too rigid. It should inform and guide one’s work, not restrict it.
One of Children’s Aid’s strengths is its mission: to ensure the physical and
emotional well being of underserved children and families. This mission doesn’t
specifically mention terrorism, drugs or the health care crisis, but it allowed
us to meet those challenges and more as times changed and needs arose. A
mission should be a guideline, not a “godline.”

Since its inception in 1853, Children’s Aid has always had the will and ability to
respond to the evolving needs of society. The agency takes appropriate risks,
crafting innovative solutions to help children and families. I’ve been proud to uphold
the CAS leadership tradition of tackling new challenges head on.
For example, we saw a need in the mid-1980s for social services in New York City’s
welfare hotels and within two years we were serving twenty percent of all homeless
families in the city. On September 11th, we became first responders without having
a history of disaster relief, because the community needed us and came to our
doors. Our centers, schools and clinics were “windows of care.” Our innovative teen
pregnancy prevention program and community schools sprang from great needs in
the communities in which we work, as well.
The integrated structure of Children’s Aid allows doctors, educators and social
workers to assess a child’s total needs, ensuring that all his needs are met and
that no practitioner operates in a vacuum. This whole-child, whole-family approach
encourages communication among services and benefits children immensely.
We are in a unique position as inventive service providers to advocate for changes
when appropriate. Partnering with the government on some of our projects
(including foster care and community schools) hasn’t meant accepting the status
quo. We continue to push for changes in government and the community that will
benefit families and the child welfare system as a whole.
Looking at the past and to the future, I’m gratified that Children’s Aid has had
such an impact on New York City and will continue to. Over the years, the agency
has been recognized by mayors and administrations as a vital part of the city’s
social safety net. The Children’s Aid Society and our remarkable Board have been
lifelong partners with the city government, working to find solutions for vulnerable
populations.
I’m very pleased to hand the reins over to C. Warren Moses, whose incredible
knowledge of the agency, as well as his deep understanding of the needs of children
and youth, make him the perfect choice for Children’s Aid and its future.
Philip Coltoff, Chief Executive Officer

Rising to The Challenge
40 Years of Action by The Children’s Aid Society
A huge, seemingly intractable problem loomed on the streets of New York
in 1853. Thousands of children were destitute, hungry and homeless. These
children lived on the city’s streets, orphaned and alone or abandoned by
parents too poor to care for them. CAS founder Charles Loring Brace
saw that the (then) contemporary solution to the children’s problems—
institutionalization in orphanages—was not a good one. He felt each child
needed a stable, loving home of his own in order to thrive, have his basic
needs met and grow up to be a productive adult. The Orphan Trains were
the revolutionary result of his thinking.
In mid-twentieth century New York, the problem looked a bit different,
but the poverty had the same impact on a new generation of children.
Children of homeless parents, of drug abusers, of the generationally poor
needed food, health care, stable families and homes, better educations and
the resulting improved job opportunities in order to become healthy and
constructive members of the community.
The Children’s Aid Society has been able to identify the challenges facing
New York City’s poor children, respond to these issues and provide
lasting solutions that help more children succeed. In the pages following,
many of the challenges of the past 40 years are highlighted— HUNGER ,
HOMELESSNESS , insufficient EDUCATION , inadequate HEALTH services,
systemic issues in FOSTER CARE and subsidized adoption and TEEN
PREGNANCY. Children’s Aid not only identified and analyzed these major
social issues but established inventive and tested programs to address them.

EDUCATION
School District Six is presently one of the most overcrowded in the City of New York, with 22,231
students in 16 schools. The neighborhood, with a large population of first-generation immigrant families,
is very poor and currently underserved by social service providers. —CAS Newsletter, Spring 1991
The problem, the challenge, was clear. Research conducted by Children’s Aid in
1987 demonstrated that children and families in Washington Heights were struggling
—burdened by severely overcrowded public schools and basically ignored by health
and social service providers. The largely immigrant population was poor and received
little assistance. After originally considering construction of a new community center
in Washington Heights, CAS made a leap in its thinking and entered into a partnership
with the Board of Education and Community School District 6 to open the door to a
new idea: a community school.
CAS community schools
address the academic,
medical, dental,
emotional and social
needs of their students.
The concept of the community school was novel—it would
be well integrated into the community and combine the
best features of a public school with those of a top-notch
community center. The school’s open doors would welcome
children and families for medical, dental and social services
as well as extended-day programming that would make the
school year go year-round, so that children would have more
opportunities to learn in a safe environment. Head Start and
Early Head Start classes would help lay the foundations for
learning well before kindergarten. Working side by side with
the school principal, the CAS school director would strive to
provide children with high-quality academics as well as a wide
range of enriching extended-day activities, health and youth development services.
As of 2005, Children’s Aid is a partner in 13 community schools in three low-income
areas of New York City. Each school allows parents to collaborate in their children’s
development; each school has become a key part of its community.
The popularity of the CAS model reaches around the world. In 1994, CAS opened its
National Technical Assistance Center for Community Schools, to help educators across
the nation and around the world learn from and adapt the model. There are hundreds of
such adaptations now.
A recognized leader in the community school movement, CAS helped found the
Coalition for Community Schools, a partnership organization that promotes the
community school concept nationally on many levels.
Education support doesn’t start and stop at CAS with its community schools, however.
Everywhere Children’s Aid works, it finds ways to add learning opportunities for
children. Everywhere CAS looks, children are ready and eager to learn.

TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION
Until these teen-agers can believe a brighter educational and economic future is possible for them, the
problem of teen pregnancy will continue to defy solution. —CAS Annual Report, 1987
In 1971, CAS announced a strategy to tackle the rampant problem of teen pregnancy.
The initiative, a training program for staff and parents of teens, was the predecessor to
CAS’ current, renowned adolescent pregnancy prevention model.
In 1984, CAS introduced a new approach to adolescent pregnancy prevention developed
under the direction of Dr. Michael A. Carrera. This model is holistic and long-term, an
“above-the-waist” method that helps teens envision a more positive future that reduces
their desire to risk a “sexual tragedy.” This is the successful, independently evaluated
model used today at Children’s Aid centers and schools, the model that is replicated in
10 sites in New York City and replicated or adapted in 20 states around the U.S. CAS’
approach is based on the “contraceptive effect” of school success
through educational support and the influence of the other program
components: access to comprehensive medical and dental care,
mental health services, career awareness and job club (including
meaningful employment and bank accounts), creative expression,
lifetime individual sports and family life and sex education.
In contrast to a number of other pregnancy prevention programs, the
focus of the CAS model is not centered on teens’ sexual behavior.
Teens are approached holistically, with care and affection. The
CAS staff sees each child “at promise” instead of as “at risk,” and
provides a comprehensive program that helps adolescents see a
future that does not include becoming a teen parent. CAS staff
does not prevent teen pregnanacy—teens do! CAS staff helps teens
develop hope for the future. “When they feel hopeful, they do the
rest,” notes Dr. Carrera.
CAS staff help
adolescents see a
future that does not
include becoming
a teen parent.
Evidence from a three-year independent, random assignment evaluation indicates that
this program reduced pregnancy and birth rates by 50 percent among participating
teen females from six New York City communities and significantly delayed the start of
sexual activity among young people in the program.
In April 2005, the CAS adolescent pregnancy prevention and human sexuality program
received a $10 million grant from The Atlantic Philanthropies. This is the largest grant
in the program’s history.

HUNGER
In spite of agricultural abundance, many children the Society serves today suffer from hunger (not
enough food) and malnutrition (the wrong food). —CAS Annual Report, 1976-77
The Children’s Aid Society has always known that
an empty stomach interferes with a child’s healthy
development and ability to concentrate on learning
and has provided different solutions over the years.
Children’s Aid fed street children in the second half
of the nineteenth century. In the late 1960s CAS
initiated a children’s free breakfast program, an idea
the New York City Board of Education applied to
public schools two years later.
Gladys Mouton
DiStefano, head of the
Food and Beverage
Association, left,
has helped brighten
Thanksgiving for
thousands of CAS
families.
CAS continues to provide a safety net to families
facing hunger. Food is available to any family that
needs it, in the form of free breakfasts and dinners,
a food pantry at the Pelham Fritz Apartments,
supermarket vouchers and assistance in obtaining food stamps. Without having to
worry where their next meal is coming from, families can focus on other issues.
In the nineteenth century, the Astor family donated Thanksgiving dinner to boys in
Children’s Aid’s Newsboys Lodging House. The Thanksgiving dinner tradition has
lived on at celebrations in many CAS locations. Since 1991 the Food and Beverage
Association of America has donated food and table settings for a special Thanksgiving
dinner for thousands of Children’s Aid children and families in Harlem. In addition to
enjoying a delicious hot meal in a festive setting, many attendees win a frozen turkey
to take home.
Every December for the last 23 years, the Christmas Dinner Fund, a voluntary effort
by New York Stock Exchange brokers, has donated frozen turkey dinners to needy
families through a partnership with Children’s Aid. In 2004, 15,000 dinners—each
serving eight—were given to families that might not otherwise have had a big holiday
meal.
In the 1970s, Children’s Aid saw a problem that would be recognized as an epidemic
in the 21st century—obesity among young children. Now, in New York City, 43% of
public elementary school students are overweight or obese, according to the New York
City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Go!Kids, CAS’ early childhood obesity
prevention program, seeks to provide young children and their families with strategies
to avoid the health problems associated with obesity. The program was recently
expanded with the help of the Picower Foundation and individual donors.

FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES
Foster Care and Adoption, Homemaker Services, PINS
Homemaker Service is a preventive program in its fullest sense, for once a home has been broken up and
children placed elsewhere because of illness or absence of a mother, irreparable damage may be done.
—CAS Annual Report, 1969-70
Helping children and families stay healthy and strong is work that Children’s Aid has
done from the beginning. The Children’s Aid Society’s first program, The Orphan
Train Movement, is recognized as the foundation for the modern concept of foster
care, which stresses placement of children in individual, loving homes rather than in
orphanages, or in congregate care, as it is known today.
Children’s Aid remains
a leader in developing
effective programming
for troubled children and
families.
In the 1990s, CAS was again on the front lines of foster care reform and advocacy
when it developed an approach called “12 Months to Permanency,” now known as
concurrent planning, which seeks to achieve permanency for children as quickly as
possible. This effort became the basis for the 1996 Adoption and Safe Families Act,
legislation that greatly changed the nature of contemporary foster care. CAS also leads
a national movement toward community foster care, a new model that strives to keep
children in their communities so that they maintain continuity.
The crack epidemic of the 1980s saw children
who were born to addicted mothers abandoned
in hospitals in horrifying numbers. The Children’s
Aid Society developed its medical and therapeutic
foster care programs to place these children, called
“boarder babies,” in homes with loving and specially
trained, committed foster parents. At present, CAS
experiences phenomenal success in helping the
foster parents of the severely challenged children in
these programs adopt them.
Children’s Aid remains at the forefront of inventive
and effective programming for troubled children and
families with a number of preventive programs. CAS’
pioneering PINS (Persons in Need of Supervision)
program and related initiatives were designed to help youth remain out of the
juvenile courts. PINS, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, now includes a
mentoring program, Youth Empowerment for Success, a long-term preventive program
that carefully matches mentors with youth who are helped by the involvement of these
positive role models in their lives.
Homemaker Services is another critical front line service provided by CAS to help
keep children safe and families together. Founded in 1933 with First Lady Eleanor
Roosevelt as its chairman, it is a preventive program that puts a trained aide in a family
where children are at risk of placement in foster care. While the homemaker cares for
the children and stabilizes the home, parents can get the help they need.

HEALTH SERVICES
In addition to his emotional difficulties, Edward has dental problems so disfiguring other children taunted
him and made him the butt of their jokes. He also developed a severe case of acne. —CAS Newsletter,
Spring 1982
Children like Edward, above, who have multiple health issues, are typical of the
children that Children’s Aid has helped for all of its 152 years: children who have
little or no access to good quality care, for whom multiple mental, medical or dental
issues become obstacles to their ability to learn or develop socially. In Edward’s case,
Children’s Aid staff approached his problems in an integrated fashion. He received
dental care at one of CAS’ community centers, orthodontia at Children’s Aid’s central
dental operatory, as well as help for his emotional problems. He received a referral
for treatment for his acne at a community health center. He enrolled in a new school
and attended his classes, the dental treatments improved his appearance and his skin
condition also improved.
If he makes it, it will be because a number of highly skilled professionals looked at
Edward the whole boy, instead of seeing only his dental problems, his skin condition
and his behavior. —CAS Newsletter, Spring 1982
Children’s Aid’s expert staff in its five school-based and three
community-based health centers provide care for children and
their families regardless of ability to pay, immigration status
or insurance coverage. Acute and preventive care is provided
by professionals from some of the leading medical institutions
in New York City. And the beauty of CAS’ decentralized health
system is that the care is where the children and families
need it most: in their schools and neighborhoods. Children’s
Aid even leads a large partnership in New York City that helps
enroll children and families in public health insurance and
helps them access the care they need.
CAS’ decentralized
health system locates
care where children
and families need it
most: in their schools
and neighborhoods.
12
The benefits of CAS health services are many: If a child
arrives at school without the necessary immunizations, the
school-based health staff can start giving the child the vaccines he needs on the
spot. If a teen requires confidential health services or counseling about HIV/AIDS
prevention, the staff can help her understand her body and her options. If a pregnant
woman needs help planning for the birth of her child and negotiating the health system
to get the care she needs, CAS’ doulas (birthing partners) are there to support her
every step of the way.

HOMELESSNESS
The families left behind their troubled lives at the Prince George Welfare Hotel for a new start in [CAS’]
beautiful, fully furnished [Pelham Fritz] apartments directly across the street from the CAS Dunlevy
Milbank Center on West 118th Street. —CAS Newsletter, Spring 1990
One of the problems that spurred Charles Loring Brace to action in 1853—homelessness
—continues to plague contemporary society. The situation became especially dismal in
the mid-1980s, when the homeless family population rose to levels never before seen
in New York City and officials began lodging homeless families in former hotels, which
became known as welfare hotels.
The Children’s Aid Society set up programs in these hotels in Manhattan and Staten
Island when other agencies shunned them and by 1986 was serving over 1,000
families, approximately 20% of all homeless families in the city. In the Prince George
Welfare Hotel, CAS provided year-round recreation for school-aged children and teens,
an on-site health and dental clinic, a program that instructed
new mothers how to play with and teach their babies and a
Head Start program.
Children’s Aid opened the Pelham Fritz Apartments (named
after one of the agency’s Trustees, who lived in that very
Harlem tenement when he was a child) in 1989 in an effort
to help homeless families escape the alarming conditions of
welfare hotels and eventually move to permanent housing.
Created in partnership with the Junior League of New York,
the 33 furnished apartments are located across the street from
CAS’ Dunlevy Milbank Center, connecting families to the full
range of Milbank’s health, mental health, recreational and social
services.
Forty percent of the
homeless individuals in
New York City today are
children.
In 1992 on the same block of West 118th Street, CAS undertook The Carmel Hill Project
with assistance from the philanthropist Bill Ruane to tackle the reconstruction of an
urban environment. The project aimed to combine housing rehabilitation with intensive
social services to improve the health, living conditions, educational and employment
prospects of residents. Three buildings were totally renovated and residents linked to
information, training and services, including those at Milbank. CAS staff remains onsite to this day to keep residents connected to the agency’s services.
In 1997, Children’s Aid’s Office of Public Policy and Client Advocacy (OPPCA) was
created to address welfare reform, housing and the growing needs of undocumented
immigrants. Today, OPPCA resolves families’ housing issues, providing legal support
and financial assistance where needed.
14
Conclusion. The next 40 years won’t be any easier than the past 40
for low-income children and families in New York City. The Children’s
Aid Society will continue to lead the way as it creates new solutions to
address the needs of children and families in underserved communities.
Children’s health: One of the greatest ongoing challenges facing children
will be their health; too many, 300,000 in New York City, still lack health
insurance. This must change.
Parents in immigrant and underserved communities need help finding
and enrolling their children in the appropriate health insurance
programs. CAS established the model the state now uses for facilitated
enrollment. Children’s Aid will sustain its efforts; the agency will
continue to enroll children and help them obtain the ongoing care they
need to prevent major illnesses, maintain good emotional health, control
weight, improve nutrition and manage chronic health problems.
Children’s education will continue to be a major concern. New York
City needs public schools that are effective in elevating our children.
Despite some advances, public education is still lagging; in particular,
the high school graduation rate of 51% must improve. The city needs a
comprehensive system of vocational schools, as well as contemporary
curricula in high schools that integrate the changing life needs and
circumstances of students. Social concerns such as effective anger
management, health, sexuality and family life must be addressed in the
schools. Our learning institutions need to produce academically literate
graduates who are also socially adaptable and civically engaged to
compete in this era of high technology and global economy.
The foster care census has fallen in New York, but CAS is concerned
that a cyclical spike in the number of children who will need public
attention requires continued vigilance. The vital infrastructure built up
over the last 20 years must not be dismantled—it will be needed should
the numbers increase.
Forty percent of the homeless individuals in New York City are children.
In a city where low-income housing is not being built and existing
apartments are being converted to “luxury” dwellings every day, there
are families in need of permanent homes. We will work with city officials
to ensure that children have someplace to call home.
Message from the Executive Director
As we approach The Children’s Aid Society’s 153rd year, I am honored and
stand ready to become its 10th chief executive officer. In doing so, I marvel at
the achievements of the last four decades and am prepared to carry the banner
forward.
C. Warren Moses
Executive Director
Children’s Aid has been historically, and remains at present, on
the cutting edge in the development of new and better programs
to address the most intractable problems of children and families
in New York City. We have, when necessary, discarded ineffective
programs and envisioned whole new ways of addressing these
problems. This organizational commitment to both continuity and
change for the purpose of improving the lives of the city’s neediest
children is a value that I observed from my earliest days at Children’s
Aid and enthusiastically endorse. This deep commitment has enabled
us to develop, test and then establish programs to reduce the time
foster children spend in temporary care, develop effective teenage
pregnancy prevention programs, build community schools and create
juvenile justice programs that significantly reduce recidivism. As I
don the mantle of chief executive officer, you can expect a powerful
and continuing commitment to the values and beliefs that undergird our
services.
Working with Philip Coltoff over the years has been a remarkable experience.
He has been ever vigilant to the changing needs of children and families, tireless
in generating resources, in harnessing the energy required to address these
needs and in building a team that can “make it happen.” His work in building the
Board is also unparalleled and we are indeed blessed to have the leadership of
Dr. Angela Diaz as our president. I could have no more sure-footed partner as
we continue to lead the way in creating better lives for tomorrow’s citizens.
C. Warren Moses, Executive Director

Volunteer Action
Care, Connect, Commit
Volunteers are caring, committed adults and teens who make a difference in the lives of
the children and youth served by The Children’s Aid Society in communities facing the
challenges of poverty every day. CAS volunteers are a diverse group—men and women of
different ages, ethnicities and backgrounds who share the belief that each child deserves
the best chance to grow up to be a successful and happy adult.
Each and every day at CAS, dedicated volunteers generously contribute their time and
talents as mentors, tutors, coaches and Saturday outing chaperones. Sharing their
knowledge and skills, volunteers teach specialized classes including dance, theatre and
photography. Thanks to individuals who devote time each week to a child or teenager, more
children are spending quality time with caring adults. Volunteers also bring essential
supplies and materials to CAS children through special holiday campaigns, toy drives, book
drives and back-to-school appeals.
Associates Council (AC) members share a commitment to our community and a desire to
help CAS meet the needs of children and families. Guided by President Christopher Rugger
and the members of the Executive Committee, AC is a leadership group that hosts events,
raises funds and develops resources to support the volunteer programs of CAS. This year
the AC hosted an outstanding benefit, The Blue Jean Ball & Texas Hold ‘Em Poker
Tournament. Over 800 decked-out guests arrived to a spectacularly decorated Gotham Hall
and raised close to $100,000 for volunteer programs, Youth Development Services/
Keystone and Hope leadership programs.
For this year’s Derby Day, an annual day of service in May, 200 volunteers at 18 CAS sites
painted, landscaped and hosted community fairs, creating warmth, friendship and a sense
of community.
Each December, New York’s holiday season opens with Miracle on Madison Avenue, New
York City’s premier charitable shopping event. Over 200 volunteers from The Bank of New
York, the event’s exclusive financial sponsor, the AC, the Junior League of New York and
other groups generate excitement, good cheer and the spirit of giving by distributing candy,
guiding shoppers and hosting the specialty tents, making Miracle on Madison Avenue a muchanticipated CAS fundraising event. This year’s event, on December 4, 2005, will be no
different.
We also salute our many corporate partners for their ongoing commitment, enthusiasm and
generosity. This year, CAS benefited from 24 corporate projects that involved close to 2,000
volunteers who led workshops, community fairs and book drives, painted murals, renovated
sites and contributed in immeasurable ways to CAS. We note especially the volunteers from
Digitas, FGIC, Lehman Brothers, CSFB, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Citigroup and Reader’s Digest,
among many others. They, like all CAS volunteers, make a difference to our children.
18
Community Partners
Children’s Aid could not fulfill its mission without the hundreds of community
partners that help us effectively serve New York’s children and families.
Our community partners include a variety of public agencies, including the
Department of Youth and Community Development and its Commissioner, Jeanne B.
Mullgrav; health providers; institutions of higher learning; community development
groups; parents groups; police; youth-serving agencies; child and family welfare
coalitions; school boards; housing alliances; food cooperatives and scores of other
businesses, church groups, professional associations, task forces and volunteers.
The Children’s Aid Society’s community school model is based entirely on
partnerships and this year there are over 100 partners.
A primary partner in our public community schools is the New York City Department
of Education (DoE). Since 1992, when we opened the first of our now 13 schools,
the DoE has supported our desire to provide high-quality health and social services
and extended-day programming right in the schools to students in underserved
neighborhoods in New York. We are especially grateful to Chancellor Joel I. Klein for
his continued leadership and support.
We are also founding members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (B&GCA) and
work closely with the Clubs’ local, state, regional and national staffs. With the New
York State Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs, as well as the New York Office of Children
and Family Services, CAS provides aftercare services for youth released from
detention centers to help reintegrate them productively into their communities and
reduce recidivism.
CAS could not provide high quality health care to children, youth and families in New
York City without the partnerships we have forged with some of the city’s premiere
medical institutions: Mount Sinai Medical Center, Montefiore Children’s Hospital,
Staten Island University Hospital, Columbia University School of Dental and Oral
Surgery, Columbia University’s Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and
the SUNY College of Optometry.
The arts at Children’s Aid are also made possible through wonderful partnerships.
We are grateful to Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and American Ballet Theatre
for making our school-based dance programs possible. Harman International
Industries, Inc. offers our community school students a terrific introduction to jazz
with its harman: how to listen program of visiting musicians. Our gratitude also
extends to the National Arts Club for the help it has provided over the years with our
children’s art exhibitions, chorus performances and volunteer and Board receptions.

Treasurer’s Report
Our Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2005 had total (unaudited) expenses of $76,634,507
compared to $73,955,120 for Fiscal Year 2004. Last year we reported that fewer
children were placed in foster care, and therefore our income and expenses were
reduced accordingly. While the number of children citywide in foster care continues
to decline, the number of children placed with Children’s Aid has increased because
of our outstanding performance and our specialized programs for children requiring
therapeutic and medical care. In addition, the Administration for Children’s Services
has recognized the importance of paying the full state rate for these specialized
programs. Operating Expenses for Children’s Centers increased by $1,482,500.
This is largely due to expansion of teen and youth development programs, our
technology initiatives, Hope Leadership Academy, New Beginnings (for potential
school dropouts) and The New York Times Summer Youth Employment Program.
Sheila Baird
Treasurer
The growth in our Family, Children and Community-based Services program is due
to increased number of Homemaking service hours at the request of the City, as well
as expansion of the Family Wellness and City Challenge programs and Community
Re-entry program for juvenile offenders. Health Services expenses decreased due
to the reduction in the state contract for the Health Care Access Program (HCAP).
We are happy to say that funding will be restored for Fiscal Year 2006 for this
important service to children and families. In addition, we were one of the few
agencies to win a contract from N.Y. State to provide Family Planning Services,
which we are providing at our Dunlevy Milbank and Bronx Health Clinics. We expect
that the program will be fully operational in FY 2006. Our Community Schools
spending has remained stable and included a number of new initiatives in middle
schools. The Stern National Training Center for Adolescent Sexuality is expanding
and has received grants from Atlantic Philanthropies and the Edna McConnell Clark
Foundation to grow this program nationally and locally.
Operating Income of $68,184,610 for Fiscal Year 2005 is a $3.42 million increase from
last fiscal year. Private giving increased by almost $1 million; government income
increased by $1.8 million. Fees paid by parents increased as well. Administrative and
fundraising expenses are less than 8.8% of total operating costs. Our shortfall was
met in the usual way with withdrawals from Children’s Aid’s reserves. As aways, we
send special thanks to our Board of Trustees, Advisory Council, Associates Council
and our donors for their generous support.
Sheila Baird, Treasurer

Without Children’s
Aid, my life would
be very different.
I would not be going away
to college with two
scholarships this fall.
When I first joined the
after-school programs, I
was very shy. Today, I am
a certified lifeguard and
have been asked to teach
capoeira classes.
Children’s Aid has
provided opportunities
that will help me to
achieve my goals—to
study computers or
engineering, someday get
my pilot’s license and see
the world.
—Edmundo, age 17
Edmundo joined our capoeira
(Brazilian martial arts) classes
three years ago. Since then
he has participated in our
college prep and job training
programs and is the recipient
of two Children’s Aid college
scholarships, including one
awarded for overcoming great
obstacles.

Mentors Circle
Children’s Aid acknowledges with profound
thanks the kindness of these important Annual
Fund donors—members of our Mentors Circle.
Their generosity provides us with the financial
foundation for our key program areas, as well as
the opportunity to try
innovative new ideas and to
expand our reach. We are
exceedingly grateful for
their support.
Please note that gifts made through family
foundations or organizations may be listed on
page 24, under Foundation and Corporate
Donors.

SUCCESS STORY
Kanema
When I started
middle school, I
never pictured
myself where I
am today—a cellist
performing in a string
orchestra, winning music
scholarships and tutoring
young musicians, all
while I am just starting
high school. I now know
anything is possible.
Someday I will not only
travel to Europe—I will
also play the famous
concert halls of Europe,
and here too.
—Kanema, age 15
Kanema has been supported
by Children’s Aid’s medical
and mental health counseling
services and after-school
music programs. She first
began to play the cello four
years ago in our string
orchestra program and today
practices three hours a day.

The New York Times Neediest Cases
The readers of The New York Times demonstrated their
generosity and responsiveness once again during the 20042005 Neediest Cases campaign, donating $7.9 million to the
newspaper for the benefit of charities that serve needy families
and children in the New York area. The number of donors
increased seven percent during this campaign and donations to
the campaign jumped after the disastrous tsunami struck nations
around the Indian Ocean in late 2004. The Children’s Aid
Society is grateful to be one of the seven charities that benefit
from the campaign. One hundred percent of the funds raised are
used to provide food, clothing, medical and dental expenses,
summer camp scholarships, school uniforms, emergency
assistance and more to children and families in need. As
always, CAS extends its deepest thanks to Jack Rosenthal,
president of The New York Times Company Foundation, and to
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., publisher of The Times, for their
unwavering support and this vital source of assistance. In
addition, we would like to note our appreciation to The New
York Times Company Foundation for providing Children’s Aid
with young Times scholars who served as interns in the
summer of 2005. We are always grateful for the contributions
made by these exceptional young people to our work.

SUCCESS STORY
Anthony
The Children’s Aid
Society’s William
Osborn Day Camp
was a second home
to me. While I was in
summer camp from age
5 to 13, I never missed a
single day. I participated
in sports and cookouts
as well as in crafts that
I would have never otherwise learned about.
Camp also provided the
opportunity for me to
meet children of different
ethnic backgrounds and
understand diverse
cultures. Children’s Aid
summer camp was one of
the greatest experiences
of my childhood.
—Anthony, age 26
Anthony was a Children’s Aid
summer camper, a counselor
and is now a camp supervisor.
During the school year, he is a
high school teacher and
director of music. Anthony has
received several all-star soccer
awards, plays in band, is a
2005 recipient of a “Who’s Who
Among American Teachers® ”
Award and has started a
foundation in honor of his
father, who perished in the
attack on the World Trade
Center of September 11, 2001.

I had good role
models at The
Children’s Aid
Society. They made
it clear there were
alternatives to gangs and
convinced me to go to
college five years after
high school. I’ve been so
fortunate to have people
who kept me focused,
positive and moving
forward. For most of my
career, I’ve enjoyed what
I do. I always knew there
was a family or individual
I could touch.
Herman Bagley, CAS
Assistant Executive
Director for
Community Affairs
Herman C. Bagley retired this
year after 50 years of
commitment and dedication to
the children and families of
New York. He started as a
junior counselor at a CAS
camp and after college and
graduate school served in
many capacities at Children’s
Aid, including director of the
Frederick Douglass Center and
Associate Director of City and
Country Branches. He has
been recognized by many
organizations for his
compassion, service and
devotion.

The Charles Loring
Brace Society
The Charles Loring Brace Society honors
friends who have made the deepest
commitment to children by making them the
beneficiaries of a gift to The Children’s Aid
Society through their wills or life income gifts.
The Brace Society is named after the founder
and first president of The Children’s Aid
Society. His legacy of compassion has
characterized Children’s Aid since its origins.
It is entirely fitting, then, that The Charles
Loring Brace Society gives special honor
to individuals who share his concerns and
compassion for New York’s children.
Deferred gifts and bequests from the generous
donors listed here will ensure continuation
of our services to the neediest children in
perpetuity.

In Memoriam
Arthur F. Smith (1917 – 2005)
If there ever was a quintessential “Children’s Aid kid,” it
was Arthur F. Smith. Abandoned as an infant in a basket
in Gimbels department store in
New York, he finally came under the care of The Children’s
Aid Society at age five. He was
placed on one of the renowned
Orphan Trains, which carried
abandoned and poverty-stricken
children to families and new
homes in rural communities.
He ended up in Clarinda, Iowa, where he was taken in
and later adopted by Worley and Lillian Smith. He served
in Italy as an officer during World War II and had a long,
successful career as a businessman.
At age 71, when he needed his birth certificate for a
passport, he got in touch with Children’s Aid again. He
and his wife, Georgianna, realized that children still need
the kind of help that Art received and became eager
supporters of our work. Art joined our Advisory Council
and later our Board of Trustees, where he served with
distinction and wit for over ten years. He served on many
other boards, including the 88th Infantry Division Association and the Orphan Train Historical Society of America, and was a church elder for nearly 40 years. He also
served as a trustee for the Hamilton Historical Society.
We shall miss him.
John Griswold (1914 – 2005)
It’s not every day or every decade that a Trustee of The
Children’s Aid Society exceeds 50 years of service to the
organization, but that is
the case with our dear late
friend, John S. Griswold,
Sr. His service to the organization included terms as
chairman and president,
as well as donor and
supporter. While his generosity included a number
of other organizations and
educational institutions, he
served Children’s Aid passionately, with an enlightened
focus and determination that enabled CAS to expand and
envision a larger role in New York City.
John was a designer, a partner of Griswold, Heckel
& Kelly Associates, a design and space-planning
company, and of Plaut-Griswold Associates, an international exhibit design group. He taught industrial design at
Pratt Institute as well. Somehow he found time to chair
the International College at Beirut, Lebanon, endow a
scholarship at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and serve as a national vice president of
the Boys Club of America, in addition to his service at
Children’s Aid. His intelligence and enlightened presence
will be missed.

New York City Deputy Mayor for Policy
Dennis M. Walcott was so impressed
with the “Youth Speak on Education”
presentations in April at Greenwich
Village Center that he invited the young
participants to repeat their ideas on
educational issues at City Hall for an
audience of top officials. Approximately
25 youth from Children’s Aid programs
had the opportunity to interact with city
leaders in June, generating a dialogue
on school curriculum, testing, safety and
arts and sports.
Baseball star Alex Rodriguez donated
$200,000 to the Children’s Aid Society’s
school-based mental health programs at
a ceremony at community school I.S. 218
in Washington Heights on Tuesday, May
24. The funds will support mental health
services at five schools that are Children’s
Aid Society community schools as well as
Boys and Girls Clubs: four in Washington
Heights and one in Harlem.
Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets
basketball standout, coached youth
participating in the Jordan Classic
kick-off event and basketball clinic
at CAS’ Dunlevy Milbank Center in
March, much to the delight of one
lucky young player.
