The Organization received its public charity determination from the Internal Revenue Service in September 2011. The Organization commenced operations in July 2011, at which point the programs previously operated by Together Education ("TE"), formerly Uncommon Knowledge and Achievement, Inc. ("UKA"), a related not-for-profit organization, were transferred to the Organization. TE supports the Organization and its development and delivery of teacher and school leader training programs. In July 2011, the Organization opened its doors to an inaugural class of graduate students. In the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 academic years the Organization offered two programs, a Master of Arts in Teaching graduate degree program in New York, NY, and a teacher certification program in Newark, NJ. By the 2016-2017 academic year, the Organization offered Master of Arts in Teaching graduate degrees and/or teacher certification programs in New York, New Jersey, Louisiana, Illinois, Texas, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, Connecticut, and Colorado. The Organization also offers a Master of Education in Instructional School Leadership graduate degree in New York, NY, and runs a national instructional school leadership program. Since launching in 2011, over 3,000 teachers and school leaders have completed the Organization's teacher and school leader training programs. In April 2012, the Organization was approved by the U.S. Department of Education as a Title IV eligible institution, allowing it to offer Title IV federal student aid programs to its students starting in the 2012-2013 academic year. 44759213 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false true true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 207 0 true 562 true false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X PIPER EVANS 2122281888 25 BROADWAY 3RD FLOOR New York NY 10004 NORMAN ATKINS PRES TO 12/18 CHAIR AS OF 1/19 2.0 2.0 X X 329138 0 18861 DACIA TOLL VICE CHAIR 2.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 DAVID LEVIN SECRETARY 2.0 2.0 X X 0 50000 0 DAVID SALTZMAN TREASURER 2.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 AIMEE EUBANKS DAVIS TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LARRY ROBBINS TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 SHAYNE SPALTEN TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DAVID STEINER TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MAYME HOSTETTER PRESIDENT 60.0 0.0 X X 263014 0 43526 PAMELA INBASEKARAN CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 60.0 0.0 X 232289 0 16595 PIPER EVANS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 60.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JESSE RECTOR SENIOR DEAN, LEADERSHIP 60.0 0.0 X 202500 0 0 JAMES VERRILLI SENIOR DEAN, FACULTY AFFAIRS 60.0 0.0 X 199174 0 7967 JENNIFER FRANCIS GOMES VICE PROVOST, CAMPUS AFFAIRS 60.0 0.0 X 195740 0 11934 CHRISTOPHER FRASER SENIOR DEAN, RELAY LAB SCHOOLS 60.0 0.0 X 189351 0 76407 KARI FEINBERG NTNL DEAN OF RGNL LEADERSHIP 60.0 0.0 X 177956 0 22577 1789162 50000 197867 67 false true false DBI PROJECTS LLC 1261 BROADWAY 9TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10002 PROJECT MANAGEMENT 259140 METHOD DESIGN LLC 76 BEAVER STREET 2ND FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10005 ARCHITECT 252247 MPL ADVISORY LLC 22 CUTTER AVENUE SOMERVILLE MA 02144 CONSULTING 189906 ICOR CONSULTING ENGINEERING 480C ROUTE 1 SOUTH SUITE 200 ISELIN NJ 08830 ENGINEER CONSULTING 157211 25 BROADWAY OFFICE PROPERTIES LLC 25 BROADWAY NEW YORK NY 10019 MANAGEMENT FEES 149669 8 500000 475394 20357330 21332724 TUITION 611710 39213548 39213548 OTHER PROGRAM REVENUE 611710 7558 7558 39221106 115387 115387 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER REVENUE 900099 63257 63257 63257 60732474 39284363 115387 0 70125 70125 0 0 730974 589036 141938 0 28530841 24332180 3423699 774962 712204 592222 97666 22316 3557973 2958574 487912 111487 2137044 1777024 293057 66963 0 111886 111886 77500 77500 35200 35200 0 0 4092782 2278841 1745511 68430 0 1003161 288561 713158 1442 2484325 755250 1729075 0 2229209 1369416 859793 6186800 5848251 290185 48364 0 0 0 0 200200 65630 134570 266756 5665 261091 COURSE INSTRUCTION 4109081 4108521 560 RECRUITMENT & PROF DEV 909588 110986 796289 2313 STUDENT RECRUITMENT/OUTREACH 198501 197967 534 LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY 27258 27258 57671408 44759213 11638780 1273415 11193578 6429258 3645528 1686729 18905579 17144609 9598742 15771599 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1669955 1056698 7274202 38898 159672 7235304 4604169 4799317 0 0 0 0 0 0 1457566 1580686 51234789 55704200 2822263 6570817 0 0 4010805 3669012 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2744047 6833068 12983876 X 16481475 17273547 27920246 25446777 0 0 44401721 42720324 51234789 55704200 X 3061066 96357 -4838820 X false true X true true true X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false true 17600 false true 17600 35200 false SCHEDULE C, PART II-B, LINES G & I THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGED WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS AND STATE GOVERNMENT STAFF WITH RESPECT TO HIGHER-EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND POLICY-MAKING. 7274202 38898 7235304 0 0 0 0 0 0 7235304 0 DEFERRED RENT OBLIGATION 2744047 2744047 X 60983610 96357 154779 251136 60732474 60732474 62665007 154779 4838820 4993599 57671408 57671408 SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 The Organization is subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Acocunting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes, as it relates to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. For the Organization, these provisions could be applicable to the incurrence of unrelated business income tax ("UBIT") on transit and qualified parking fringe benefits. Since the Organization has always recorded any potential tax liabilities and due to its general not-for-profit status, management believes ASC Topic 740 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on the Organizations financial statements. Subsequent to year-end, the provision in the tax code requiring the Organization to remit UBIT attributable to transportation fringe benefits was repealed retroactively to December 31, 2017 therefore eliminating the Organization's obligation for this tax.

Subsequent to the audit committee review, the organization made its Form 990 available to all members of its Board of Trustees for their review. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing and approving the form 990, including the preparation, review and filing process. As part of its annual audit and tax return preparation process, the organization hired a professional CPA firm with expertise in not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the form 990. The CPA firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals to obtain information needed to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The CPA firm prepared a draft form 990 to be reviewed by and discussed with the organization's finance personnel and other individuals. Revisions were made to the draft form 990 where necessary. The CPA firm provided a final draft to the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals for final review and approval prior to presentation to the organization's audit committee and thereafter provision to all members of the Board of Trustees. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Question 12C The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually, all trustees, officers and key employees are required to complete a questionnaire in accordance with the organization's conflict of interest policy. The completed questionnaires are returned to the organization's Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the questionnaires with the President and Chief External Affairs Officer to surface any potential conflicts that may need to be discussed at a subsequent board meeting. 990 PART VI, SECTION B, QUESTION 15A Compensation for the President is discussed and determined by the Audit and Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, taking into account compensation packages of comparable organizations (e.g., higher education institutions and other education-related nonprofit organizations in New York City). The board discusses the President's compensation and applicable comparable salary data. The independent board members then determine the compensation without the non-independent board members present. The offer of employment for the President is formally extended by the Board Chair. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, QUESTION 19 The organization makes its 990 and financial statements available to the public upon written request. FORM 990, PART IX, COLUMN B, LINE 17 Program service travel expenses include approximately $2.5 million of travel expenses directly related to Relay's national leadership program, which launched in the 2013-2014 academic year and continued through the 2018-2019 Academic year.
