SEE SCHEDULE O

  • CAMP - THE JEWISH CHILDREN'S REGIONAL SERVICE PROVIDES PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SUMMER CAMP TUITION FOR JEWISH CHILDREN WHEN A FAMILY IS UNABLE TO PAY THE FULL COSTS. THE AMOUNT OF AID PROVIDED TO ANY ONE CHILD OR FAMILY VARIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CHILD AND/OR HIS OR HER FAMILY. FINANCIAL AWARDS FOR CAMP ASSISTANCE IS TYPICALLY LOWER IF THE FAMILY IS ABLE TO OBTAIN MATCHING FUNDS FROM OTHER AGENCIES AND, CONVERSELY THE SCHOLARSHIP.

    Expenses $330,201 · Grants $279,450

  • EDUCATION - THE JCRS FUNDS HIGHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR JEWISH STUDENTS IN THE FORM OF GRANTS AND NO-INTEREST LOANS. MANY OF THE COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE AID FROM THE JCRS ARE FROM VERY LOW INCOME FAMILIES. MOST OF THIS GROUP OF STUDENTS WERE ALSO CAMP SCHOLARSHIPRECIPIENTS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG.

SOME ARE IN RESIDENTIAL CARE. SOME ARE NEW IMMIGRANTS. SOME CHILDREN HAVE A PARENT IN THE MILITARY. MANY COME FROM DEPENDENT, AT-RISK FAMILIES WHO STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY CARE, SUPERVISION AND STABILITY TO MEET THEIR CHILDREN'S NEEDS. FOR ALL CHILDREN, JCRS FUNDING PLANS ARE FORMULATED ON THE TOTALITY OF THEIR NEEDS, THEIR OPPORTUNITIES, AND THEIR RESOURCES. SPECIAL NEEDS SUBSIDIES ARE GRANTED FOR UP TO ONE YEAR AND CAN BE RENEWED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD MAY RECEIVE SUBSIDIES FROM FAMILY LIFE SERVICES - THE AGENCY CONSULTS ON DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEMS AND ISSUES RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND NEEDS OF CHILDREN.

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.
