PATTERSON FOUNDATION

TOGETHER, GIVING BACK2014 ANNUAL REPORT

MAKING A DIFFERENCEIN OUR COMMUNITIES

Welcome to our first Patterson Foundation annual report, providing an overview of our 2014 charitable activities and financial support. We invite you to learn more about our Foundation and the lives being positively impacted through the generosity of hundreds of donors.

This special story began in 2000 when a group of senior-level employees with Patterson Companies, Inc. acted on their desire to give back in meaningful ways by pooling their personal resources to start the Foundation. Since the beginning, the Patterson Foundation has been committed to giving back to the employees and industries that make Patterson Companies successful.

In 2004, the Foundation awarded its first scholarships to the children of Patterson Companies employees and grants to nonprofit organizations working to expand healthcare to those most in need. The Foundation has a strong interest in supporting charitable programs that increase access for disadvantaged communities and individuals with special needs.

What makes the Patterson Foundation truly unique, and brings me the most pride, is the way current and former Patterson Companies employees have embraced the opportunity to carry on this tradition of giving.

In the pages that follow you’ll see how together, Patterson Companies employees, along with business partners and friends, are steadily increasing the Foundation’s reach to a growing number of people in communities around the world.

Sincerely,

Gary Johnson Patterson Foundation President

HELPING STUDENTS ACHIEVE EDUCATIONAL GOALS

4 Patterson Foundation Annual Report

ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFEThe Patterson Foundation is committed to investing in programs that strengthen communities by helping those most in need live healthier lives. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations that operate charitable programs in our fields of interest, especially those serving disadvantaged communities or individuals with special needs. Highest priority is given to programs staffed by volunteer professionals or students who are generously

donating their time and talents to make healthcare more accessible to those who need it most.

To learn more about the Patterson Foundation’s grants program, please visit our website at pattersonfoundation.net.

Two nonprofit organizations receiving Patterson Foundation grants in 2014 are featured below.

Operation Grace MN

The nearly $54,000 Patterson Foundation grant to Operation Grace MN helped open doors to much-needed dental care in communities across Minnesota. Operation Grace MN provides education and essential dental services to low-income individuals and families through mobile dental clinics.

Patterson Foundation funding for Operation Grace MN went toward start-up costs of providing mobile dental clinics staffed by dental professional volunteers.

“The Patterson Foundation helps us serve people who may not have anywhere else to turn for dental care, especially in outlying areas. This grant

kept us alive and enabled us to make it through our first year financially.”

– John Braddock, Executive Director, Operation Grace MN

Leader Dogs for the Blind

Patterson Foundation resources are impacting Leader Dogs for the Blind on multiple levels. Located in Rochester Hills, Mich., Leader Dog empowers people who are blind or visually impaired with skills to navigate their environment and succeed with a guide dog as a mobility aide.

The $25,000 grant from the Patterson Foundation helps Leader Dog attract talented interns who are Master’s level orientation and mobility specialists, to provide a high level of instruction to clients in the Accelerated Orientation and Mobility Program. Through this program, clients learn how to navigate the world using a white cane. Part of the grant also supports Leader Dog’s Veterinary Extern Program, where veterinary students directly support onsite veterinary staff in providing day-to-day care for current and future guide dogs.

A Patterson Foundation grant supports Leader Dogs for the Blind, helping clients expand their travel routes and receive training with a guide dog.

“The skills our interns and externs are learning through their work with service animals and people with disabilities will impact the population

we serve long after they leave our campus.”

– Rod Haneline, Vice President and Chief Programs and Services Officer, Leader Dogs for the Blind
