The Association has not been classified as a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) and does qualify for deductible contributions. CCR is a for-profit limited liability partnership and treated as a disregarded entity for federal tax purposes. Income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. In evaluating the Association's activities, management believes its position of tax-exempt status is appropriate based on current facts and circumstances and there have been no uncertain positions taken related to recording income taxes. Management has assessed that there are no activities unrelated to the purpose of the Association and therefore no tax is to be recognized. It is the policy of the Association to include in other operating expenses, penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities. Other operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2023 includes the reversal of an accrual of approximately $70,000 for a penalty resolved during 2023 in favor of the Association. There are no material penalties or interest from taxing authorities included in operating expense for the year ended June 30, 2024. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Susan Bichsel President and Chief Executive Officer 0 306113 0 0 0 7057 0 0 0 39650 0 352820 0 0 Russ Klein Chief Strategy Office 0 197099 0 600 0 0 0 0 0 25624 0 223323 0 0 Barbara Cameron Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 0 185752 0 600 0 0 0 0 0 35380 0 221732 0 0 Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 See Form 990, Schedule O, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Eileen Blattner, Robert Blattner - family relationship; Bonnie Cole, Mike Cole -family relationship; Sally Good, Sidney Good - family relationship; Patricia Mintz, Chuck Mintz- family relationship; Myrna Spira, James Spira-family relationship Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Jewish Family Service Association of Cleveland, Ohio (EIN: 34-0714441) is the sole member.
