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. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES CHILD CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES REFERRED BY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AGENCIES BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN ARE "AT RISK" OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT. WE CERTIFY THE FAMILY'S ELIGIBILITY FOR CHILD CARE, ASSIST THEM TO LOOK FOR AND SELECT CHILD CARE, PROVIDE REFERRALS TO OTHER SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AS NEEDED, AND MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR CHILD CARE PROVIDERS THEY SELECT TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. WE ENROLLED 13,368 FAMILIES WITH A TOTAL OF 22,950 CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO 12 YEARS OLD, AND MADE MONTHLY PAYMENTS TO 7,667 LICENSED AND LICENSE-EXEMPT CHILD CARE PROVIDERS FOR THEIR SERVICES TO ENROLLED CHILDREN.

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

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
