Mission and programs · 2022

• Child Care Assistance: 4Cs provides child care payment assistance to low income families via the CalWORKs Stages 1,2,3 and Alternative Payment Programs (APP). Our agency helps parents with child care referrals and makes payments to child care providers on their behalf. We work with families transitioning from welfare to work, low-income families, families in training programs leading to employment, and families referred from protective services. In 2022, the program collectively provided assistance to 3,308 children from 1,958 families in Oakland, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and other neighboring cities. Our caregivers and educators provided millions of hours of child care in safe, nurturing environments so parents can work or further their education to help their families thrive.

As filed on the 2022 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.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
