Mission and programs · 2025

ALL CLC CLIENTS ARE YOUNG PEOPLE IN FOSTER CARE IN MN, MOSTLY BETWEEN AGES 10-21. CLC SERVES A HIGH MINORITY POPULATION, MANY OF WHOM IDENTIFY AS MORE THAN ONE RACE.

IN CONTRAST, 35% OF SENIOR CLIENTS WERE STILL STRIVING TO EARN THEIR DIPLOMA. WHILE THESE FIGURES REFLECT A DECREASE COMPARED TO OUR EARLIER GRADUATION RATES, THEY ALIGN WITH THE OVERALL DECLINE IN GRADUATION RATES OBSERVED STATEWIDE FOR FOSTER STUDENTS.IN 2025, CLC STAFF SERVED ON, OR PARTICIPATE IN, OVER 14 EXTERNAL COMMITTEES AND ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE MN SUPREME COURT COUNCIL ON CHILD PROTECTION, CHILDREN'S JUSTICE INITIATIVE, STATEWIDE CJI ADVISORY COMMITTEE, STATEWIDE CJI MENTAL HEALTH SUBCOMMITTEE, MIFPA PHASE II, CHILDREN'S JUSTICE ACT TASK FORCE, HENNEPIN AND RAMSEY COUNTY CHILDREN'S JUSTICE INITIATIVE GROUPS, MN RULES OF JUVENILE PROTECTION PROCEDURE COMMITTEE, STATE BOARD OF APPELLATE COUNSEL AND TRAINING, AND THE MSBA AND ABA CHILDREN AND LAW SECTIONS.

  Expenses $706,798 · Revenue $7,255

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
