Description	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 role in every major scientific breakthrough 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 research generates important data. In a 2005 survey of 200 researchers, 107 reported publishing more than 500 articles based on CCFA-funded research.	Description

Explanation	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. 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 2010, for which expenses were incurred of approximately $43,329. Expenditures of $43,329 for the Day on the Hill of event have been reported on Schedule C, Part II-B, 1(g). Included within the $43,329 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).

Reconciliation of Net Assets	Part XI, Line 8	Changes in gift annuities valuations: $40,855
Reconciliation of Revenue	Part XII, Line 2d	Changes in gift annuities valuations: $40,855
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 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 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.

Explanation	The process for monitoring grants to researchers outside the United States is the same as the process undertaken for those inside the United States. (See Schedule I) Grants are awarded for specific projects for specific research and CCFA requires the researcher to issue progress reports periodically as the project is being done. 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.

ExplanationExplanation

Schedule G, part II - Fundraising Events

The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Inc. ("CCFA") has over 50,000 members and 41 chapters nationwide. Essential to CCFA's mission is its ongoing fundraising efforts that enable it to fund further research, as well as educational and support activities. CCFA raises more than $40 million annually through memberships, fundraising events, sponsorships, and other programs. Since the organization compiles its special events information for financial statements purposes on an aggregate basis, CCFA is unable to determine precisely how much of the gross revenue generated from special events is derived from pure contributions and how much from services rendered. To that end, CCFA is reporting, for 990 purposes, an amount as "services rendered" that equals the expense of conducting the event since it is reasonable to project that the costs of holding each event were passed through to the attendees.

Schedule G, Part III - Gaming Activities

The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Inc. only partakes in gaming activities to the extent the organization holds a raffle or game of chance during a gala, dinner or other special event. Each chapter is responsible for conducting its own special event activities and, as such, the organization does not have one person who oversees all gaming activities for purposes of Schedule G, Part III, Lines 14 & 16. Raffles are conducted as part of special events and not as separate fundraising activities. Chapters are responsible for securing applicable licenses and complying with reporting requirements. For the period covered by this return, only seven chapters held raffles: California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

General Explanation GeneralExplanation (7 entries)

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
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.
Policies	Part VI, 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.
Policies	Part VI, 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.
Policies	Part VI, 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 a 2009-2010 National Compensation Study 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.
disclosures	part vi, 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 - 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 2010, CCFA received $34,511 in revenues from this program. Additionally, CCFA receives considerable in-kind contributions primarily in the form of donated public service announcements on television and radio stations. The value of such in-kind contributions, based upon information provided by third-party media services, is reflected in the statement of activities as contributed 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 airtime on Schedule M nor on Part VIII, Line 1(g). For the year ending December 31, 2010, contributed airtime amounted to $973,463.
