The Joshua Collingsworth Memorial Foundation (JCMF) experienced many accomplishments during 2021. An average of 100 Rotary clubs from across the United States (plus several outside of the US) participate in Josh the Otter. In the local Nebraska area of Omaha and Lincoln, Josh the Otter is included as part of the preschool, kindergarten and elementary schools. There are approximately 275,000 children who participate In Josh the Otter through Rotary club efforts. Over 450,000 Josh the Otter books have been distributed over the last (almost) 14 years; averaging 35,000 per year. We expect to distribute approximately 50,000 over this next year as demand increases. 88 Mascot suits are utilized in Josh the Otter programs in US, Canada and Australia.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
