CCFA HAS DEFINED ITSELF BY SPONSORING THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST RESEARCHERS AND SEEDING THE FIELD WITH GROUNDBREAKING STUDIES AND RESEARCH INITIATIVES TO ADVANCE THE UNDERSTANDING AND TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES ("IBD"). false false 23460552 0 273683 CCFA provides information and education in an effort to reach the more than 1.4 million IBD patients and their families through a variety of periodicals (Take Charge, Under the Microscope), books, awareness campaigns, local chapters, its Webcasts, and through its website. CCFA also reaches its many members with exclusive mailings. CCFA also offers professional education on Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, its professional journal, and health professional workshops. Revenues reported as program service revenue of $273,683 represents camp registration fees for workshops/camp programs run for children and families affected by either crohn's disease or colitis. CCFA support services are delivered through its chapters nationwide which offer more than 220 support groups annually, summer camps for children with IBD, and a range of educational and training programs for local communities. Read more about CCFA's chapters on its website, www.ccfa.org, or view its webcasts. 16811162 16343303 0 Research - Since its inception, CCFA has been at the forefront of medical research in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis -collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There are two main research categories. Basic research explores the scientific foundations of the diseases. It answers such questions as: What is the underlying cause of Crohn's and colitis? Which genes are involved in these diseases? Although basic research is complex and can be difficult for laypersons to understand, these studies will ultimately lead to the cure for IBD. Clinical research determines which medical and surgical options work best for patients. - CCFA HAS PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN MANY MAJOR SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS IN IBD, FROM GENERATING DATA THAT LED TO NEW THERAPIES TO THE DISCOVERY OF THE FIRST GENE FOR CROHN'S. - CCFA invests in human resources: It takes 10 years to "build" a full-fledged, senior investigator. To make sure that the most talented researchers enter and remain in the field of IBD, CCFA provides research training awards to develop the next generation of investigators. Many of today's most prominent researchers received training awards from CCFA early in their careers. - CCFA sets the research agenda: CCFA brings together the finest minds in the international scientific community (both basic and clinical) to develop and update our strategic plan for research "Challenges in IBD Research". - CCFA SUPPORTS INNOVATIVE AND ESSENTIAL RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF IBD. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1967, CCFA HAS FUNDED NEARLY 1,400 PROJECTS AND INVESTED $201 MILLION IN RESEARCH. A 2013 REPORT SHOWED THAT CCFA-FUNDED GRANTEES HAVE RECEIVED NEARLY $2.9 BILLION IN FUNDING FROM THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. THIS FIGURE REPRESENTS A RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF 7.5 FEDERAL AWARDS PER CCFA-SPONSORED PROJECT. - CCFA-SPONSORED GRANTEES HAVE ALSO RECEIVED FUNDING FROM INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING 25 DIVISIONS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, THE JOHN D. AND CATHERINE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, THE LEONA M. AND HARRY B. HELMSLEY CHARITABLE TRUST AND THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION. - CCFA HAS INVESTED $8.3 MILLION ON PROJECTS CONDUCTED IN FOURTEEN NATIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. - CCFA TRAINING AWARD RECIPIENTS HAVE SUCCESFULLY USED THEIR PROJECTS AS A LAUNCH PAD FOR SUCCESSFUL CAREERS IN IBD RESEARCH. FOR EXAMPLE, CCFA'S $33 MILLION COMMITMENT TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARDEES HAS RESULTED IN $257 MILLION IN FEDERAL SUPPORT. 40271714 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false true true true true true true false true false true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true 432 0 true 459 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 24 23 true false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true false false AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DC FL HI KS LA ME MD MA MI MN MS NH NM NY OK PA TN UT VA WA WV WI X X RONALD GOLDSMAN 2126853440 733 THIRD AVENUE NEW YORK NY 100178804 Gary Sinderbrand 6.0 X X Richard Geswell non-voting 40.0 X X 497016 0 52921 Bernard Eizen Esquire 6.0 X Paul Salerno 6.0 X X Lloyd Mayer MD 6.0 X Irwin Rosenthal 6.0 X Suzanne Rosenthal 6.0 X Shelby Modell 6.0 X Maura Breen 6.0 X X David Alberga 6.0 X Jonathan Braun MD PhD 6.0 X L Ted Denson MD 6.0 X Jennifer Feikin 6.0 X Lawrence Finkelstein 6.0 X Vance Gibbs Esquire 6.0 X X Mark Goldman 6.0 X Steve Goodman 6.0 X John Hasenauer 6.0 X David levenson 6.0 X Joel Margolese 6.0 X Jeffrey Margolis 6.0 X Jeffrey Nedelman 6.0 X Michele Rubin APN CNS CGRN 6.0 X Francisco Sylvester MD 6.0 X Paul Tartell MD 6.0 X Jim Lewis MD 6.0 X Donald Burke 6.0 X John Crosson 6.0 X Matt Leavitt 6.0 X Kenneth Tirino 40.0 X 62769 3138 Robert Territo 40.0 X 97862 1392 Judith Brown 40.0 X 222057 21714 Kimberly Frederick 40.0 X 177806 12676 Kathleen Boggan 40.0 X 202392 8729 Marie Granieri 40.0 X 156313 8895 Craig Comins 40.0 X 143879 14173 Edda Ramsdell 40.0 X 125926 14491 Anthony Leon 40.0 X 142736 7137 Erin Mulvey Stoeber 40.0 X 137000 6850 1965756 0 152116 28 false true false direct print communications 201 E SANDPOINTE suite 400 SANTA ANA CA 92707 printing 1596968 convio Inc 11501 domain drive suite 200 AUSTIN TX 78758 online marketing 513807 intouch solutions 10975 BENSON DRIVE SUITE 200 OVERLAND PARK KS 66210 marketing 448438 BKV PO Box 414149 KANSAS CITY MO 641414149 Online Advertising 317029 Barkley REI PO Box 876270 KANSAS CITY MO 641876270 Website Design 304020 14 1535948 24656461 108756 23507075 357934 49808240 EDUCATION & CAMP REGISTRATION FEES 900099 273683 273683 273683 217168 217168 0 563648 563648 0 0 0 11267907 10772622 495285 495285 495285 6987971 24656461 7252031 -264060 -264060 330074 66014 264060 264060 0 SETTLEMENT PROCEEDS 900099 146042 146042 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 58866 58866 204908 51562932 273683 1481009 X 16083922 16083922 0 259381 259381 0 1194911 804366 228039 162506 0 14916833 10041409 2846762 2028662 0 2872300 1933516 548156 390628 1330177 895422 253854 180901 0 93657 74694 11146 7817 109955 98220 11735 69642 69642 250091 250091 0 4433070 4049465 383605 1140385 743220 231905 165260 2250944 1462531 460354 328059 1055860 708802 202647 144411 0 1500499 971123 309103 220273 1035892 698773 196844 140275 0 681460 560874 70410 50176 0 0 245759 172616 42708 30435 229121 148929 45824 34368 PUBLICATIONS 1460534 955367 294967 210200 PROV FOR DOUBTFUL ACCTS 39926 25842 8223 5861 LIST RENTAL FEES 758140 492051 155371 110718 GRANTS REFUNDED/RESCINDED -1290717 -1290717 668838 381908 121015 165915 51390580 40271714 6492310 4626556 0 0 11240600 3988534 4452032 6719202 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1793393 1473951 3474672 2564736 418571 909936 4377841 9800921 0 0 0 0 0 0 725255 736705 23007692 23629249 1992796 1792880 14264290 14431955 0 500000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 538032 503813 16795118 17228648 X -167119 -822331 6379693 7222932 0 0 6212574 6400601 23007692 23629249 X 172352 -16500 32175 X false true X true true true X 24484415 13419858 43742531 49476219 49808240 180931263 0 0 24484415 13419858 43742531 49476219 49808240 180931263 26050890 154880373 521546 220831 588755 802238 780816 2914186 80094 0 13745 6130 0 99969 19422425 1176967 5643836 6614989 7522953 40381170 224326588 1569480 0.69042 0.72416 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false true false false true 46669 false true 69642 116311 false Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1(i) The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Inc. (CCFA) pays the Health and Medicine Counsel of Washington D.C. to keep the organization up-to-date on what is transpiring with legislation on Capitol Hill concerning health and medicine. (Total amount paid in 2012 was $69,642). It should be noted that the Health and Medicine Counsel of Washington is a healthcare advocacy group that may lobby on behalf of healthcare organizations; however, it is not paid to directly undertake any lobbying activities on behalf of CCFA. CCFA holds a "Day on the Hill" event every year, in which patients suffering with Crohn's disease volunteer to travel to Washington D.C. to discuss proposed healthcare bills with legislators. The "Day on the Hill" event was conducted during the calendar year 2012, for which expenses incurred were approximately $46,669. Expenditures of $46,669 for the Day on the Hill of event have been reported on Schedule C, Part II-B, 1(g). Included within the $46,669 are expenses incurred for mailings made to members, legislators or the public (line 1(d)); accordingly the Foundation has marked box 1(d) yes, but not reported an expense on that line (to avoid double-counting). 244729 217661 27068 1807702 1774877 32825 1422241 572198 850043 909936 0 GIFT ANNUITY LIABILITY 387975 DEFERRED RENT 115838 503813 X 55618638 -16500 4040031 32175 4055706 51562932 51562932 55430611 4040031 4040031 51390580 51390580 Reconciliation of Revenue Part XI, Line 2d Changes in gift annuities valuations: $32,175 Income Taxes Part X The Foundation adopted 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 as of January 1, 2010. This section provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only 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. The Foundation is exempt from income tax under the Code, however, is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded under the Code. The tax years ending 2010, 2011 and 2012 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Foundation's financial statements as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. true North America Grantmaking Research 131202 Middle East and North Africa Grantmaking Research 128179 259381 259381 Middle East and North Africa RESEARCH 128179 CHECK North America Research 115830 CHECK North America Research 15372 CHECK 3 false false false false false false Schedule F, Part I, Line 1 The process for monitoring grants to researchers outside the United States is the same as the process undertaken for those inside the United States.

Most awards are gifted for a period of 3 years and if the progress reports do not show significant strides in the research, the grant will not be approved for additional funding and will be terminated.

These objectives include raising revenues, management of expenses, development of regions and related performance, building of infrastructure and maximization of research expenditures. Each area's results are evaluated by the President's Review Committee and the incentive is ultimately determined based on ratings of performance of these objectives. For all other employees, impact awards are given to employees if the individual meets net income and net revenue targets and must be recommended by their supervisor.

X 48 357934 Market Price false true true Schedule M The Foundation often receives contributions of publicly traded securities. The Foundation's investment manager or brokerage firm is tasked with selling these securities. Governing Body and management Part VI, Line 2 Irwin Rosenthal and Suzanne Rosenthal, co-founders of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, Inc., have a family relationship. Process used to review form 990 Part VI, section B, Line 11 The Form 990 was prepared by a national accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to each member of the Audit Committee, a standing committee of the Board of Trustees, for discussion and comment. Each committee Member was provided an opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement Part VI, Section B, Line 12 Each officer, director, trustee and key employee of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Inc. ("CCFA") is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of employment, board service, or position with CCFA. CCFA monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual questionnaire/disclosure statement that is distributed to these individuals. Potential conflicts are investigated immediately. Process for determining compensation Part VI, section B, Line 15 The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is dependent on experienced and qualified leadership to achieve its goals. Factors such as annual gross revenues, geographic locations, tenure, mission and other factors help determine senior leadership compensation. The President's compensation is determined on an annual basis by the Chairman of the Board using guidelines and comparability data provided in National Compensation Studies of Chief Staff Executives as statistically prepared by an independent research firm. The Foundation has taken further initiative to benchmark executive level pay by hiring an independent compensation consultant to review and validate the compensation it pays all employees. CCFA anticipates that the consultant will continue the Foundation's policy of relying on benchmarking surveys and other industry data to compare the salaries CCFA pays to its executives with compensation paid to executives of other not for profit organizations of similar size. Availability of documents to the public part vi, section C, line 19 The taxpayer makes its Form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business and on its website at www.ccfa.org. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org. The organization's financial statements are posted on its website. Governing documents and conflict of interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but if requested, will be provided at management's discretion. Contributions Part VIII, line 1g, Noncash contributions The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Inc. ("CCFA") has utilized the services of Car Program, Inc., an organization that receives donated vehicles, sells them and remits the net proceeds to several charitable organizations. The vehicles are not donated directly to CCFA nor does CCFA have ownership rights to them. In 2012, CCFA received $35,483 in revenues from this program. Additionally, CCFA receives considerable in-kind contributions in the form of donated public service announcements on television and radio statements and services received from physicians and health professionals that have made significant contributions of their time in furtherance of CCFA's programs. The fair value of such in-kind contributions is reflected in the statement of activities as contributed services and airtime revenue and health professional education and public information program service expense. Since donated services are not reported on the Form 990, CCFA has not reported the contributed services and airtime on Schedule M on Part VIII, line 1(G). For the year ending December 31, 2012, contributed services and airtime amounted to $4,040,031. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Changes in Gift Annuities and Remainder Trust Valuations - $32,175
