Mission and programs · 2024

• CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - UNDER CONTRACTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES (CDSS) CHILDCARE AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION, WE ADMINISTER A CHILD CARE PAYMENT PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WHO ARE CYCLING OFF WELFARE (CALWORKS) AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN THE WELFARE SYSTEM. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT FAMILY ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY BY PAYING FOR CHILD CARE SO THAT PARENTS CAN WORK, SEEK WORK OR ATTEND SCHOOL/TRAINING.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
