JCUA uses a community organizing model to engage the Jewish community in the collective pursuit of social justice. 0 0 1028022 1200 Community Organizing: JCUA partners with community-based organizations on a grassroots level to bring about systemic change. Current organizing campaigns and coalitions in which JCUA is involved are focusing on housing and homelessness, community safety, and immigration justice. JCUA's commitment to combatting racism and antisemitism are priorities within this work. Youth Engagement: The Or Tzedek Teen Internship and College-aged Fellowship year-long programs train youth in the JCUA model of addressing systemic issues of inequality from a root-cause approach; strengthening civic engagement as a core aspect of Jewish identity; and providing youth with community-organizing skills. Through the programs, youth deepen their identities as compassionate and civically engaged leaders. Community Investment: JCUA's Community Ventures Program provides zero-interest pre-development loans for affordable housing, economic development, and job creation projects across this city. Individuals and institutions participate in this program through granted and loaned funds to the revolving loan fund. Funds are made available through an application process as zero-interest loans primarily to nonprofits. Basebuilding: JCUA works to deepen the strategic impact of its members and grow the base. Through the Kol Or Jews of Color Caucus, leadership development initiatives, full-day trainings, issue committee participation, the congregation partner network, and various programs, JCUA members work together to advance a more just and equitable city and state. 1028022 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 21 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 IL X Tony Fuller 3126630960 4411 N Ravenswood Avenue Suite 300 Chicago IL 60640 Sara Cantor President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cydney Wallace Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Amend Treasurer 2024 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Rothschild MD Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Benetta Mansfield Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 David Levinson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Deb Sokol Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Gregory Rothman Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jackie Rassner Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Nia Crosley Treasurer 2025 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Rabbi Fred Reeves Director 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Rabbi Steven Philp Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Randi Stern Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Gellman Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sonje Hawkins Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Nepomiachi Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Weyl Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Emily Rapport Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lesley Roth Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Schoenburg Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Judith Levey Executive Director 50.00 X 125000 0 9312 Jessica Schaffer Executive Director 50.00 X 90192 0 9312 215192 0 18624 1 0 0 0 0 104901 1138615 1243516 Program 900099 1200 1200 1200 16917 16917 395966 369217 26749 26749 26749 396250 70953 325297 325297 1613679 1200 0 368963 233816 165958 26026 41832 798760 559318 91420 148022 15350 11700 1444 2206 104539 78206 10317 16016 81051 60344 8095 12612 280 280 36342 36342 22 22 60517 15599 44718 200 36579 3082 2689 30808 22389 6217 7852 8320 107887 78197 10980 18710 3097 2570 149 378 36101 35925 109 67 643 643 11741 8246 1335 2160 Professional developmen 8722 1949 5371 1402 Membership and dues 1318 711 568 39 1559154 1028022 248360 282772 192043 379752 608423 842997 25770 87800 104901 3763 10618 4500 1125 4018 3375 689761 406661 2218199 1617485 3741977 3453589 65685 66152 68750 873424 573750 1007859 639902 X 2217839 2267768 516279 545919 2734118 2813687 3741977 3453589 54525 25044 0 X X 0 0 0 X 2489258 1695707 1396504 906820 1243516 7731805 2489258 1695707 1396504 906820 1243516 7731805 788055 6943750 6690 6438 17610 29291 43666 103695 7835500 1196258 0.88620 0.89950 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6607 7087 13694 1552067 1565761 228288 57072 0 0 228288 228288 342432 13694 13694 57072 57072 85608 6607 6607 250902 23094 250902 23094 250902 74936 74936 250902 250902 75069 75069 250902 250902 49359 49359 250902 250902 24737 24737 250902 0 0 4500 1125 3375 3375 CVP notes receivable 1605000 Security deposits 4500 Due From Affiliate 7985 1617485 CVP loans payable 573750 573750 X 1638701 25044 25044 1613657 22 22 1613679 1559132 0 1559132 22 22 1559154 Part V, Line 4: On December 2023, the Circuit Court of Cook County approved a petition by JCUA to modify the donor restriction on the principal of the Marjorie and Herbert Fried Fund, a permanently restricted endowment. With the consent of the Illinois Attorney General, the court ordered that the restriction on the principal of the fund, totaling 250,902, be released to support JUCA's 60th anniversary fundraising campaign. As a result, this amount was reclassified from net assets with donor restrictions (perpetual in nature) to net assets without donor restrictions in 2024.
