Mission and programs · 2022

• The California Communications Access Foundation (CCAF) manages and operates the Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program (DDTP) for the California Public Utilities Commission. The DDTP provides free specialized telecommunications equipment to anyone Deaf or disabled in California who is unable to use a standard telephone. CCAF provides a wide range of services aimed at helping these historically underserved populations, including home installations of equipment, support from service and call centers, distribution events, and the California Relay Service. In this fiscal year, CCAF provided support and equipment to more than 730,000 Deaf or disabled Californians.

  Expenses $13,853,275

• The California Communications Access Foundation has also established a philanthropic wing, called Ability Central, to further its mission of expanding communication and information access for people with disabilities. Ability Central is accomplishing this goal by offering grants and technical support to other disability nonprofits, as well as providing online information and resources for the Deaf and disabled community and people with questions about disabilities and communication access. In this fiscal year, Ability Central awarded $1,129,516 to 27 nonprofit organizations and other causes in support of people who are Deaf or disabled.

As filed on the 2022 return.

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.
