The FIN-48 footnote reproduced below is from the consolidated audited financial statements. Fedcap and its related entities follow guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. Fedcap and its related entities are exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though they are subject to tax on income unrelated to their respective exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. These organizations have processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of their tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine their filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which they have nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. Fedcap and its related entities have determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. gala 160762 132428 28334 28334 0 160762 132428 28334 28334 28334 true Educational/Needs Assistance 67 21121 Form 990, Schedule I, Part III The Fedcap Group is committed to effecting long-term, sustainable change among the populations and communities we serve. Community Workshops is an instrumental part of effecting that change. Its programs and operations bring education and the power of work to individuals with disabilities, adults with conviction histories, veterans, and many others facing barriers to employment. Individual grants do not require continued monitoring as the organization only provides assistance to those individuals who have demonstrated a need (either public assistance, educational stipends or some other form of care). No gifted funds may be used for non-essential purposes and may not be spent on discretionary items that do not support an individual's health and welfare. false false false false false false false false false CHRISTINE MCMAHON PRESIDENT & CEO 0 457571 0 0 0 0 0 25650 0 10925 0 494146 0 0 Karen Wegmann CFO 0 236383 0 0 0 0 0 25200 0 11652 0 273235 0 0 kenneth brezenoff gen. counsel & vp strat. init. 0 196856 0 0 0 0 0 6000 0 2361 0 205217 0 0 Craig Stenning Executive Director 157500 0 0 0 0 0 4725 0 21036 0 183261 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Community Workshop Inc.'s sole member is the Fedcap Group, Inc.

Form 990, part vi, section B, line 11b The Form 990 was prepared by an independent accounting firm in conjunction with FEDCAP's financial department. It was reviewed by senior management. A full copy of the 990 was provided to the full board before filing for their review and comment. Form 990, part vi, section B, line 12c Community Workshops, Inc. follows FEDCAP's conflict of interest policy. The conflict of interest policy is signed by appropriate Fedcap Employees annually. Each member of the Board of Directors signs the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. Violation of the policy will subject an employee to disciplinary action or immediate discharge. Employees who have knowledge or suspicion of improper conduct or activities by other employees or outside parties doing business with Fedcap, are expected to immediately bring it to the attention of the CEO or Director of Human Resources. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Community Workshops, Inc. does not compensate any of the officers reported on the Form 990; that compensation is paid by Fedcap Rehabilitation Services, Inc. (an affiliated group). The process that Fedcap undertakes to determine compensation is as follows: The Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation agreement. In determining the President's compensation package, the compensation committee conducts an analysis of industry comparables for individuals performing similar job functions. The Compensation committee ultimately makes the decisions about the President's compensation and memorializes its decision in the Board Minutes.
