WE CONNECT CROSS-SECTOR LEADERS WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH THE SMARTEST IDEAS AND PRACTICES FOR MOVING THE NEEDLE ON THE FOUR KEY DIMENSIONS OF CITY SUCCESS - CONNECTIONS, INNOVATION, TALENT, AND YOUR DISTINCTIVE ASSETS. OUR WORK CONSISTS OF FOUR CORE ELEMENTS: - WE CURATE SMART IDEAS AND BENCHMARK CITY SUCCESS THROUGH OUR CITY VITALS. - WE CONNECT CROSS-SECTOR LEADERS THROUGH OUR NETWORK OF CITY CLUSTERS. - WE CATALYZE COLLABORATIVE CHANGE THROUGH OUR CITY DIVIDENDS. - WE ACCELERATE PROGRESS THROUGH OUR DIVIDEND PRIZE CHALLENGES. CITY VITALS 3.0 - CITY VITALS IS OUR BENCHMARKING TOOL FOR CITY SUCCESS. THE FOUR LETTERS THAT MAKE UP THE WORD 'CITY' SPELL OUT THE GENETIC CODE OF URBAN SUCCESS: CONNECTIONS, INNOVATION, TALENT, AND YOUR DISTINCTIVE ASSETS. USING 30 DIFFERENT INDICATORS, WE ANALYZE THESE FOUR KEY DIMENSIONS TO ECONOMIC SUCCESS IN THE 130 LARGEST METROPOLITAN AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES. CITY DIVIDEND - A CITY DIVIDEND IS THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR ACHIEVING A TARGETED, MEASURABLE, ACTIONABLE GOAL TOWARD YOUR CITY'S ECONOMIC SUCCESS. CITY DIVIDENDS ARE PREMISED ON OUR RESEARCH AND EXPERIENCE THAT MEASURABLE PROGRESSS, OR "MOVING THE NEEDLE," ON TARGETED WORK CAN REAP HUGE ECONOMIC GROWTH DIVIDENDS FOR CITIES, AND ACCELERATE AND SUSTAIN MOVEMENT ON IMPORTANT GOALS. WE HAVE DEVELOPED THREE CITY DIVIDENDS - THE TALENT, GREEN OPPORTUNITY, AND HEALTH/DIABETES DIVIDENDS, AND ARE DEVELOPING MORE. EACH DIVIDEND REFLECTS ONE SMALL CHAGE THAT LEADS TO A BIG ECONOMIC DIVIDEND. 1738863 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 9 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false IL OH X X LEE FISHER 2166874704 1717 EUCLID AVENEU UR 130 CLEVELAND OH 44115 Paul Grogan Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marc Morial Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mayor Michael Nutter Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cliff Thomas Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wim Wiewel Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Zimpher Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEE FISHER President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 248000 0 16187 Bob Milbourne Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Payne Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 248000 16187 1 false true false 0 278642 283880 562522 PROGRAM FEES 900099 65067 65067 SPEAKING FEES 900099 22200 22200 87267 354 354 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 650143 87621 1061633 1061633 0 0 0 248000 148538 38243 61219 0 155603 93198 23995 38410 6708 2012 1677 3019 33936 10178 8712 15046 22434 13886 3288 5260 0 0 13565 13565 0 0 0 0 8629 3511 1706 3412 3451 1380 691 1380 1072 429 214 429 0 0 99134 85991 5792 7351 0 161142 161142 0 0 4727 1576 1576 1575 3239 1296 647 1296 Professional Fees 97722 73745 833 23144 Printing and Publications 44057 44012 45 RESEARCH 23785 23785 MISCELLANEOUS 11738 5176 2112 4450 16105 7375 3593 5137 2016680 1738863 106689 171128 1392623 177931 0 25000 0 16061 16100 0 0 0 0 1493 23640 16202 12166 7438 0 0 0 0 0 1445850 202962 23518 141920 37500 42747 61018 184667 X 255604 18295 1129228 1384832 18295 1445850 202962 -1366537 X false true X true false X 3307263 1519867 1191738 887788 562022 7468678 0 0 3307263 1519867 1191738 887788 562022 7468678 0 7468678 6870 6069 4311 354 17604 0 1192 769 130 2091 7488373 0.99740 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 17935 11542 6393 5705 4660 1045 7438 X 678507 28364 28364 650143 650143 2045044 28364 28364 2016680 2016680 Part X : FIN48 Footnote CEOS IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS, THEREFORE NOT SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER PRESENT INCOME TAX LAWS.CEOS' INCOME TAX FILINGS ARE SUBJECT TO AUDIT BY VARIOUS TAXING AUTHORITIES.
