52498943909Communications: Fifty percent of the Communications Department expenses are allocated to program services. The JUF Communications Department works to ensure that JUF/Federation maintains a strong media profile and serves effectively as the public voice for Chicago's Jewish community. During 2010, the Department media contact largely focused on the economy and J-HELP (a program to help those in need who have been negatively affected by the economy, providing financial assistance to newly unemployed, financially stressed middle-class families as well as the chronically disadvantaged), pro-Israel advocacy and the issue of Iran, in all instances shining a spotlight on JUF/Federation's leadership using multi-faceted tools, including social media and other forms of electronic communication; The Department also achieved visibility for JUF priorities such as the Jewish Day School Guaranty Trust Fund, TOV Teen Initiatives and Joyfully Jewish outreach programs for young families (JUF Right Start, Book Buddies, PJ Library and Shalom Baby).
33164913582141JUF News: JUF News is Chicago's largest circulation Jewish community publication. It is published monthly and offers features, profiles, news and commentaries about key facets of Jewish life locally, in Israel and around the world.Israel office: The organization maintains a small office in Israel with three employees. The Israel office expense and employee salaries are paid to Jewish Federations of North America, which is based in New York, and is the umbrella organization for all Jewish Federations in North America. The Israel office coordinates educational missions and monitors Israeli programs that are funded by JUF. JUF coordinates missions to Israel, Russia, Poland and various other countries in order to give donors the opportunity to travel with other Chicagoans to Jewish communities all over the world and see JUF dollars at work. The missions also allow individuals to visit with people who live in Israel and other countries, explore family roots and learn about worldwide Jewish culture. Missions give participants the opportunity to see first-hand what can be accomplished by the Jewish people when our energy and resources are operating at full capacity. JUF pays for all mission travel expenses and then participants reimburse JUF for the costs, although certain missions are partially subsidized by JUF. The revenue and expenses of missions are reported on the 990 on a gross basis.

Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:Part V, Line 4:The endowment funds (which include both board designated and permanently restricted funds) were established over a period of several years via bequests received from certain donors' estates. Distributions are made from these endowment funds on an annual basis and transferred to the organization's undesignated fund to support the annual campaign. The endowment fund distributions are computed using a formal spending policy that has been approved by the Board of Directors.
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:The Jewish United Fund, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The Jewish United Fund has adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Jewish United 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 Jewish United Fund and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements 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 guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. At December 31, 2011, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Jewish United Fund files forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Jewish United Fund is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2008.

Return ReferencePart I, Line 2:ReturnReference
ExplanationSchedule I, Part I, Line 2: Grants made by the Jewish Federation (Federation)/Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago in the United States are monitored through an extensive process involving professionals and nearly 200 volunteers that includes submission of budgetary and programmatic information as well as face to face meetings with many of the grant recipients. The process entails submission and review of fiscal information (including updated budgets and audits) as well as program specific information including outcome measures when appropriate. Grants made to the Federation are then allocated to various affiliate agencies which have a long relationship with the Jewish United Fund and the Federation and notwithstanding this, both lay and professional leadership continue to assess the use of grants that are provided to them. The review is accompanied by face to face site visits in which programs funded by the Jewish United Fund and the Federation are reviewed. The Jewish United Fund and the Federation also take into account information that the grantees provide to accrediting and other funding bodies. The grants made to The Ark, Jewish Community Centers, Council for Jewish Elderly, Ida Crown Jewish Academy, Hebrew Theological College, Associated Talmud Torahs and Arie Crown Hebrew Day School represent pass-through grants made per the request of certain donor designated gifts. In addition to these allocations, Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago also makes more significant grants to these organizations to support their general operations. Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago reports grants on Schedule I to The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), which is a 501(c)(3) domestic U.S. charity. JFNA sends a portion of this grant amount to nonprofit organizations in Israel and other countries. JFNA, and its beneficiary agencies, United Israel Appeal (UIA), a subsidiary of JFNA, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) each file separate Form 990s and report each specific grant in detail on their Schedule F.Explanation

Part I, Line 1aSocial club dues are paid on behalf of appropriate employees conducting business there.
Part I, Line 4bPart I, Line 4b: Michael Tarnoff: The Jewish Federation has an agreement with Michael Tarnoff which provides for annual payments of $30,000 per year that began in 2009 and will end in 2019. In addition, the Jewish Federation has agreed to provide Michael Tarnoff with a split dollar $800,000 insured death benefit. The insurance is designed so that upon Michael Tarnoff's death, the Federation will receive a benefit equal to all of the premiums paid. The life insurance benefit is provided tax free to Michael Tarnoff so there is an additional cash payment to Michael Tarnoff each year to cover the taxes on the PS58 costs as well as the taxes grossed up. Steven B. Nasatir: In 1999 the Jewish Federation entered into an agreement with Steven Nasatir that was contingent upon 5 more years of service as president and CEO and would result in annual payments of $50,000 per year (net of tax) beginning at age 64 and lasting throughout his lifetime. Dr. Nasatir began receiving payments under this agreement in 2009. The $50,000 per year amount is to be adjusted annually in accordance with the CPI index. This benefit is payable to him only for as long as he lives. There is no guaranteed payment amount and no survivor benefit at his death. In addition, the Jewish Federation has agreed to provide Steven Nasatir with a split dollar $1,000,000 insured death benefit. The insurance is designed so that upon Steven Nasatir's death, the Federation will receive a benefit equal to all of the premiums paid. The life insurance benefit is provided tax free to Steven Nasatir so there is an additional cash payment to Steven Nasatir each year to cover the taxes on the PS58 costs as well as the taxes grossed up.

Explanation(d) Description of Transaction: Max Schrayer, Chairman, is the principal owner and president of Associated Agencies, Inc. which is JUF's primary broker for liability insurance. During the year ended December 31, 2011, JUF paid Associated Agencies, Inc. approximately $253,000 for such insurance. JUF regularly receives competitive bids from other insurance companies and Mr. Schrayer does not participate in any decision-making or voting regarding the purchase of insurance. In order to verify that this relationship between JUF and Associated Agencies, Inc. would not cause any conflict of interest problems, before Mr. Schrayer was nominated as Board Chairman for 2010, JUF established an ad hoc Ethics Committee which reviewed: 1) an analysis prepared by its legal counsel which addressed potential conflict of interest implications; and 2) the process by which JUF purchases its insurance policies. After completing its review, the ad hoc subcommittee made a number of recommendations aimed at ensuring that Mr. Schrayer would be distanced from decision-making on the purchase of insurance in a fashion that would prevent a potential conflict of interest. Those recommendations were then endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Board.In addition, at the request of the Executive Committee, JUF hired an independent insurance consulting firm to conduct a study to:1) assess the insurance brokerage, claims processing, advisory and related services provided by Associated Agencies,2) determine if the JUF insurance program properly addresses all of the major exposures to insurable loss presented by the JUF, and3) determine if the coverage is competitively priced.This study, which was completed in August 2010, validated and confirmed that JUF is receiving appropriate and comprehensive insurance risk management policies and services at competitive prices.Explanation

Form 990, Part I, Line 8, Contributions and Grants and Line 13, Grants andapproximately $7.7 million, or 10%, during 2011 due to a second J-HELP initiative that was launched in early 2011 in order to provide continued stabilization to the Jewish United Fund annual campaign as a result of the recession. Similar to the first J-HELP campaign, which was established in 2009, J-HELP 2 solicited JUF's major donors asking them to consider an additional gift equal to their annual gift to the regular campaign, payable over two years. As of December 31, 2011, J-HELP 2 has raised approximately $10.5 million, half of which is for the 2012 annual allocation/grant-making process and the other half for 2013 grant-making. Although these pledges are payable over a two year period (2012 and 2013), generally accepted accounting principles require that the entire pledge be recorded as revenue in 2011 which was the year the pledges were made. As a result, this timing difference creates a surplus of revenue in 2011 that is not indicative of JUF's actual operations.Similar Amounts Paid: Contribution and grant revenue increased by
