DescProgram and InnovationThe Fund's work includes investments in principal programming, actionable data and public reporting.Our most recent cycle, Fund 4, reached more than 70 percent of sitting principals and helped many of them improve. The number of principals rated proficient or above who are serving in Level 1 or Level 1+ schools grew from 150 in 2013 to more than 300 in 2018. In 2018, 279 unique principals received in-role supports through The Fund's programs and investments across 383 program slots. This includes 32 principals who improved retention rates among their teachers in partnership with The New Teacher Project (TNTP) and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and 20 principals who participated in a "Leading Change" course with the Harvard Graduate School of Education, which is designed to help principals better manage their teams through adaptive leadership practices. One-hundred-and-sixty-two principals participated in one of 19 principal-led Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Each PLC is facilitated by a high-performing principal with known expertise in a specific topic area. The Fund also supported 72 principal-led teams through our sixth annual Summer Design Program (SDP), a unique professional development opportunity that offers school teams the space, time and expertise to pursue innovative solutions to some of their most pressing challenges. Through the 2018 SDP, principal-led teams worked directly with expert partners from UChicago Impact and the National SAM Innovation Project. An additional 20 principals received supports through Sensible Innovation as part of their work with LEAP Innovations.Finally, The Fund launched a new pilot, the South Side Education Alliance (SSEA), which includes eight principals and their teams who serve high-need students in and around the Bronzeville area of Chicago. Each of these schools is receiving a slate of programs, which, when taken together, are designed to help educators improve student outcomes. These include family engagement programming provided by Stand for Children, instructional coaching for principals and teacher leaders provided by Fulcrum Education Solutions, support building a school environment conducive to student learning provided by UChicago Impact and distributed leadership provided by the National SAM Innovation Project.Desc

DescSystems and Policies In 2018, The Fund continued to support The Chicago Principal Partnership (The Partnership), a citywide effort to provide actionable principal quality data to stakeholders and ensure that principal quality remains an enduring priority in Chicago's school improvement strategy. In 2018, The Partnership completed development of a powerful Data Warehouse that produces regular reports on key principal quality metrics for stakeholders, conducted a working group on the principal pipeline in Chicago and published two reports about principal satisfaction and engagement and principal turnover.In addition, The Fund's work included efforts to improve the retention of Chicago's top-performing principals through the Chicago Principals Fellowship (The Fellowship) and The Cahn Fellows Program. The Fellowship, which is a partnership between The Fund, Crown Family Philanthropies, Chicago Public Schools and Northwestern University, is an executive-level leadership development program intended to grow the skills of top principals and further expand their leadership capacity. Twenty-three high-performing principals joined the fifth cohort of The Fellowship in 2018, committing to lead in Chicago through at least 2020. The Cahn Fellows Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, offered programming to seven Chicago principals. The Cahn Fellows Program is a national program that recognizes top principals and develops their capacity as leaders.Desc

DescEducator Engagement The Fund seeks to engage perspectives from diverse educators to inform its program and policy efforts and develop a theory on what high-performing principals need to lead successfully. In 2018, The Fund invested resources in its Educator Advisory Committee (EAC), which is designed to inform Fund strategy and program. In 2018, the EAC included sixteen principals from public schools citywide. In addition, The Fund worked to inform its own and the city's efforts to improve principal quality by performing regular engagement surveys, exit surveys and focus groups with public school principals in Chicago. The Fund's annual engagement survey yielded an 82 percent response rate and informed organizational strategy and programming.Finally, The Fund celebrated educators citywide through our second annual Principal Appreciation Campaign, which involved social media outreach, videos sharing exceptional principal stories and a celebration event attended by more than 150 principals and leaders from across the city.Desc

Part IV, Line 2b:During 2018, The Fund agreed to serve as fiscal agent on behalf of the Schwartz Ward Family Foundation (the Foundation) with respect to the Executive Principal Program (the Program) in partnership with Chicago Public Schools. The Fund received a payment of $90,000 from the Foundation which will be disbursed during 2019 under the direction of the Foundation to Chicago Public Schools for payment of stipends to principals participating in the Program.
Part X, Line 2:The Fund is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. In addition, The Fund qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addressed the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, The Fund may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of The Fund and the various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statement from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Fund does not believe that there are any unrecognized tax benefits or tax liabilities that should be recorded for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements.

ExplanationThe Fund makes investments in grantees pursuant to benchmark schedules, and grant dollars are disbursed to grantees only upon documented evidence that grantees are achieving or working toward achieving the most critical factors for their programs to be successful. Acceptable achievements are jointly agreed upon at the time The Fund commits to the grant, and staff members work with the grantee to monitor and document progress against these shared goals. At any point during the grant period, The Fund may withhold the associated payment if a particular benchmark is not met or can decide to discontinue funding if ample progress is not being made in a timely manner against the specified benchmark goals.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe President and CEO reviews the completed Form 990, and then it is emailed in final form to the Governance, Operations, Finance and Audit Committee, as well as to the entire Board of Directors, for their review and comments prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cOfficers, directors, and key employees complete a questionnaire to disclose annually any business transactions or relationships they or a family member may have had with The Fund or any of its officers, directors, or key employees. Potential conflicts noted in the responses are passed along to the President & CEO for review and, when necessary, referred to the Executive Committee for their consideration. In addition to the required annual conflict of interest questionnaire, The Fund's Board of Directors' policy covering conflicts of interest provides that directors and staff have the responsibility to immediately disclose potential conflicts of interest and refrain from influencing other directors or staff in relation to those matters. If a potential or actual conflict arises, directors also have the responsibility to recuse themselves at an appropriate time. Directors, staff and their immediate family members cannot realize any direct or indirect personal financial benefit from a Fund investment.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Executive Committee of the Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation package for the President and CEO. The determination of the appropriate level of compensation included a review of compensation levels for the equivalent positions at comparable organizations, through review of Form 990s and survey data produced by national and regional industry associations. For other staff salaries, a review of compensation levels at comparable organizations was conducted by the CEO, and her recommendations for salary adjustments were reviewed by the Governance, Operations, Finance and Audit Committee in conjunction with the annual budget planning process. The process for determining the compensation is documented.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Financial statements for recent fiscal years are available to the public on The Fund's website. Also, the governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in IRC Section 6104(d).
