Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Permanent Collections Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a The permanent collections, which consist of works of art, are acquired through purchases or contributions and are not recognized as assets in the accompanying statement of financial position. Each work of art is inventoried and cared for, and activities verifying the collections integrity are performed continuously. Purchases of art (accessions) are recorded as decreases in the appropriate net asset class in the year in which the items are acquired. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are required to be used to acquire other works of art. Such proceeds are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset class. There were no accessions or deaccessions of works of art during the fiscal years that ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Description of the Organization's Collections Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The Museum is now a non-collecting institution. The existing collection consists of different forms of Judaica. These pieces are occasionally displayed in exhibitions to help in the education of Jewish art and culture.
Purpose of Endowment Funds Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The organization maintains endowments as a means to provide a predictable stream of funding to support its programs.
FIN 48 Schedule D, Part X The Museum is a not-for-profit organization that has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as an organization that is exempt from income tax pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) on its income other than unrelated business income. The Museum has also been recognized by the Franchise Tax Board as an organization that is exempt from income tax pursuant to California Revenue and Tax Code Section 23701d on its income other than unrelated business income. As required by GAAP, the Museum has identified and evaluated its significant tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open and determined that there is no material unrecognized benefit or liability to be recorded. The open tax years are generally the years ended June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2013 for federal tax purposes and the years ended June 30, 2008 through June 30, 2013 for California tax purposes. There have been no material changes in unrecognized benefits as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, nor are any material changes anticipated in the twelve months following June 30, 2013. There have been no related tax penalties or interest, which would be classified as tax expense in the statement of activities.

PROGRAM SERVICE FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A THE CONTEMPORARY JEWISH MUSEUM ("THE CJM") PRESENTS EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT EXPLORE JEWISH ART, CULTURE, HISTORY, AND IDEAS. IN A DYNAMIC SETTING AND FROM A DIVERSITY OF PERSPECTIVES, THE MUSEUM INSPIRES ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE, LEARNING, AND SCHOLARSHIP. IT ENGAGES AND SUSTAINS AUDIENCES OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS THROUGH DIALOGUE AND COLLABORATION. THE CONTEMPORARY JEWISH MUSEUM CELEBRATES THE VITALITY OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY AND EXPLORES THE CREATIVITY, TRADITIONS, AND SOCIAL VALUES OF JEWISH LIFE. LIVELY ARTISTIC AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, CENTERED AROUND ART, MUSIC, DISCUSSIONS AND FILM, INVITE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, BACKGROUNDS AND INTERESTS TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER AND GAIN A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF DIVERSE CULTURES AND THE JEWISH EXPERIENCE. FISCAL YEAR 2013 WAS AN ESPECIALLY REWARDING PERIOD OF PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, AUDIENCE BUILDING, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE CJM PRESENTED OUTSTANDING AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED EXHIBITIONS, OFFERED HUNDREDS OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOL AND FAMILY AUDIENCES, SERVING OVER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS. THE CJM ALSO ENGAGED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH NUMEROUS PUBLIC PROGRAMS EXPLORING THE VITALITY AND CREATIVITY OF CONTEMPORARY JEWISH LIFE. IN THE FIVE YEARS SINCE OPENING ITS NEW FACILITY, THE MUSEUM HAS BECOME WELL KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE BAY AREA FOR ITS GROUNDBREAKING EXHIBITIONS AND INNOVATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT BUILD BRIDGES OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THOSE OF OTHER FAITHS. IN ADDITION TO EXHIBITIONS, THE CJM STRENGTHENED ITS ONLINE PRESENCE WITH A NEW PODCAST SERIES, YOUTUBE VIDEOS, EVITES TO PUBLIC PROGRAMS, MEMBERSHIP ERENEWALS, AND ONLINE PURCHASES FROM THE MUSEUM STORE WITH A FOCUS ON INCREASING THE MUSEUM'S REACH, IMPACT AND NATIONAL REPUTATION, EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE PAST YEAR INCLUDE:
2012-13 EXHIBITIONS IN REVIEW   The 2012/13 Exhibition Season was exemplary of The Museum's history of mounting thought-provoking and broadly appealing exhibitions that share Jewish culture with a diverse 21st century audience. True to The Museum's commitment to ongoing education and community dialogue, each exhibition was infused with opportunities for audience interaction and accompanied by a vibrant series of educational and public programs. EXHIBITIONS IN FY13 - Beyond Belief: 100 Years of the Spiritual in Modern Art June 27-October 27, 2013 Beyond Belief: 100 Years of the Spiritual in Modern Art is the first in a series of collaborative exhibitions throughout the Bay Area with the san francisco museum of modern art ("SFMOMA"), as part of its expansion project. The exhibition served as a visual dialogue between Jewish and non-Jewish artworks that address diverse approaches to spirituality. It included approximately sixty works in different media-painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installations-dating from 1914 to the present. A partial list of artists featured in the exhibition included Bruce Conner, Philip Guston, Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Kiki Smith. Beyond Belief was co-curated by the CJM Curator Karen Tsujimoto; the CJM Curatorial Associate Jeanne Gerrity; SFMOMA Associate Curator of Photography Corey Keller; Associate Curator of Interpretation Peter Samis; and SFMOMA Curator of Painting and Sculpture Janet Bishop. - Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg May 23-September 8, 2013 One of the most visionary writers of his generation and author of the celebrated poem Howl, Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) was also a photographer. From 1953 until 1963 he made numerous, often exuberant portraits of himself and his friends, including the Beat writers William S. Burroughs, Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, and Jack Kerouac, eager to capture "certain moments in eternity." For years his photographs languished among his papers. When he finally rediscovered them in the 1980s, he reprinted them, adding handwritten inscriptions. Ginsberg's photographs form a vivid portrait of the Beat Generation, a term that came to describe a group of young people who rebelled against the materialism and conformity of middle-class America and embraced a lifestyle that promoted freedom, sexual openness, spontaneity, and speed. Yet Ginsberg's photographs are far more than historical documents. The same qualities that governed his poetry-intense observation of the world, deep appreciation for the beauty of the vernacular, and faith in intuitive expression-also permeate his photographs. With their captions, which often reflect on the passage of time, Ginsberg's photographs are both records and recollections of an era. Beat Memories was organized by the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. It was in San Francisco where Ginsberg first read Howl, and it was in San Francisco where the Beat movement took root. One of the most significant contributions of Ginsberg-and one that isn't lost on a San Francisco audience-was his openness about his homosexuality and his advocacy of gay rights. He also struck a note for gay marriage by listing Peter Orlovsky, his lifelong companion, as his spouse in his Who's Who entry. - Stanley Saitowitz: Judaica November 3, 2011-September 8, 2013 San Francisco-based architect Stanley Saitowitz is internationally recognized for his building projects round the globe including private homes, museums, synagogues, and libraries. He is also a designer of contemporary Judaica and has thought deeply about the form and symbolism in Jewish ritual objects. This exhibition, designed by Saitowitz, examines the evolution of Judaica through a presentation of historical examples of Menorahs, Shabbat candles, and Kiddush Cups juxtaposed against Saitowitz's own contemporary versions of these objects. The exhibition also considers the laws and traditions that bind these ritual objects. - Kehinde Wiley |The World Stage: Israel February 14-May 24, 2013 The Contemporary Jewish Museum presented the first West Coast museum exhibition of Wiley's work featuring his portraits from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Lod. The striking paintings within The World Stage: Israel provided an elegant opportunity for the CJM to demonstrate its commitment to contemporary artists. The World Stage: Israel was also a wonderful opportunity for The Contemporary Jewish Museum to collaborate with The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at the University of California, Berkeley and the Skirlball Museum in Los Angeles to display the historical pieces that inspired Wiley's backgrounds. The World Stage: Israel embodies The CJM's mission to showcase contemporary Jewish culture for a diverse 21st century audience as well as our core purpose "to be an engaging forum for diverse audiences where new perspectives on Jewish culture, history, art, and ideas thrive." During the run of Kehinde Wiley | The World Stage: Israel at The CJM, approximately 14,500 visitors enjoyed the exhibition and related educational and community programs. Partnerships with the San Francisco Art Institute and the Museum of the African Diaspora among others, were particularly fruitful in spreading news of the exhibition to new audiences. The exhibition was well received by press with feature articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner, J Weekly, and Bay Area Reporter, just to name a few. Curator Karen Tsujimoto spoke about the exhibition at the Commonwealth Club, a talk that was podcasted online.
- THE SNOWY DAY AND THE ART OF EZRA JACK KEATS   November 13, 2012-February 24, 2013 Building on the success of previous children's artist and illustrator exhibitions such as Curious George Saves the Day: The Art of Margaret and H.A. Rey and There's a Mystery There: Sendak on Sendak, The CJM was proud to present The Snowy Day and the Art of Ezra Jack Keats. The exhibition included original artwork and first edition publications of the beloved children's books Whistle for Willie (1964), Peter's Chair (1967), and The Snowy Day (1962). The exhibition was organized by The Jewish Museum, New York from the collection of the de Grummond Children's Literary Collection of The University of Southern Mississippi with the support of the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation, and featured over eighty original works by the artist, from preliminary sketches and preparatory books, to final paintings and collages, including examples of Keats's lesser-known, more introspective output inspired by Asian art and poetry. The Snowy Day remained a centerpiece of the exhibition as the first Caldecott-winning picture book to feature an African American protagonist. Twenty-nine thousand visitors experienced the exhibition and accompanying programs on-site, and an additional 70,000 visitors engaged with the exhibition online. - The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League, 1936-1951 October 11, 2012-January 21, 2013 The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League, 1936-1951 was the first comprehensive museum survey in three decades of the famed photography group's work, history, artistic significance, and cultural and social milieu. Drawing from two extensive Photo League museum collections housed at The Jewish Museum in New York City and the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio, the exhibition included one hundred forty vintage photographs by more than sixty Photo League members. Bernice Abbott, Weegee, Aaron Siskind, and Lisette Model were among the celebrated photographers whose work was included in the exhibition. The Radical Camera garnered outstanding press; including a mention as best art exhibition of the year from Kenneth Baker, art critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. A dynamic dimension of the exhibition was that it led to two exciting, first ever programs at The CJM: #SFphotohunt and "Our Lens: A Photo Project of Teen Art Connect." - Our Lens: A Photo Project Of Teen Art Connect October 11, 2012-January 21, 2013 In conjunction with The Radical Camera the Museum's Teen Art Connect (TAC) interns produced the first ever youth exhibition at The CJM. Fourteen TAC intern photographs were displayed at the entrance to the exhibition for the entire run of The Radical Camera: New York's Photo-League, 1936- 1951 and were viewed by 30,000 on-site attendees. With thanks to support from Rayko Photo Center, TAC interns participated in a two-day workshop with Bay Area photographer and educator Emilio Bauelos, learning specifically how to work with subjects to create photo-portraits. After the training, TAC interns went out to San Francisco's many neighborhoods to acquire the images out of which some were then selected for display at the Museum. True to the mission of the Photo League, the teen photographers were encouraged to develop a unique voice by examining their connection to their subjects. - California Dreaming: Jewish Life in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to the Present November 17, 2011-April 28, 2013 California Dreaming was a seventeen month participatory exhibition in The Museum's Roselyne and Richard Swig/Swig and Dinner Families Gallery that explores Jewish life in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to the present. Through video, photographs, objects, art, and text, the exhibition demonstrates how characteristics that defined the San Francisco Jewish community in the late 19th and early 20th centuries-aspirational, innovative, philanthropic-continue to inform contemporary Bay Area Jewish life today. An undercurrent throughout the exhibition is the Bay Area's history of entrepreneurialism, adventure, and freedom of spirit, thereby illustrating how Jewish culture in the region has been reinvented time and again to fit our evolving ideas of what it means to be Jewish. - Do Not Destroy: Trees, Art and Jewish Thought - An Exhibition and The Dorothy Saxe Invitational February 16, 2012-September 9, 2012 Since biblical times, the land and environment have been central to Jewish life as expressed by the Torah and its many interpretive laws that command the protection of the environment, species preservation, sanitation, and pollution. Do Not Destroy was a landmark exhibition that explored the centrality of trees in Jewish life and culture. The exhibition was divided into two parts. The first was the continuation of The CJM's signature The Dorothy Saxe Invitational, in which artists from diverse backgrounds are invited to explore a Jewish ritual object. For this exhibition 57 artists were invited to create new works from reclaimed wood that investigated the environmental themes embedded in the Jewish holiday Tu B'Shevat. The second part of Do Not Destroy investigated the role of the tree in contemporary art more broadly by presenting a selection of major loaned artworks by an international roster of artists: Rodney Graham, Yoko Ono, Gabriela Albergaria, Zadok Ben David, April Gornik, Roxy Paine, and Rona Pondick, and many others. Underlining the importance of the tree in Israel and Judaism was the number of artists in the exhibition of Israeli descent: Zadok Ben David and Tal Shochat, whose works set the stage for the entire project; and Tamar Ettun, Galya Rosenfeld, Merav Tzur, and Naomie Kremer, who participated in the Invitational. In addition, Jerusalem-based artist and graphic designer, Dov Abramson created an educational space within the exhibition that uses graphics and fun facts to expand on the history of environmental stewardship within the Jewish tradition. The San Francisco Chronicle referred to the installation as "painlessly educational." The high level of Israeli artist involvement in the exhibition provided the perfect opportunity to showcase Israeli culture in the Bay Area during the recent celebration of Yom Ha'atzmaut at the CJM, where over 700 guests paid tribute to Israeli culture and Consul General Akiva Tor.
- BLACK SABBATH: THE SECRET MUSICAL HISTORY OF BLACK-JEWISH RELATIONS   March 31, 2011-Ongoing Based on a music CD of the same name, Black Sabbath: The Secret Musical History of Black-Jewish Relations is a celebratory sound installation that takes visitors through the history of the Black-Jewish musical encounters from the 1930s to the 1960s. In contrast to the oft-told story of how Jewish songwriters and publishers of Tin Pan Alley and Broadway transformed Black spirituals, blues, and jazz into the Great American Songbook, scant attention has been paid to the secret history of the many Black responses to Jewish music, life, and culture. From Johnny Mathis singing "Kol Nidre" to Aretha Franklin's 1960's take on "Swanee," visitors can learn how Black artists treated Jewish music as a resource for African American identity, history, and politics. - Torah Tour and The People's Torah April 2011 - Ongoing Scribed with the purpose of becoming a resource to emerging Jewish communities and Jewish communities in need around the world, The CJM Torah is now on tour at Bay Area synagogues before it embarks on a world tour. Bay Area synagogues that have hosted The CJM Torah since the launch of the Torah Tour include Stanford Hillel; Beth Am, Los Altos; Temple Sinai, Oakland; Temple Emanu-El, San Francisco; Kol Emeth, Palo Alto; and Kol Shofar, Tiburon. Additional synagogues are being identified. Synagogues of all denominations and in all geographic locations are invited to have the Torah on loan for 2-3 year loan periods. Community members can follow the Torah on its worldwide journey via its own page on The CJM's website. This dedicated Torah webpage offers videos and resources for learning about the scribal process as well as interactives for following the Torah on its travels. Commissioned in conjunction with the exhibition, the People's Torah offers an online three-dimensional rendering of the five books of Moses, inviting people from all over the world to collectively write the Torah, letter by letter. Individuals from over 50 countries around the world remotely participated in the People's Torah. This component of the project continues to grow in the virtual world.
EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS HIGHLIGHTS   The CJM's exhibitions are complemented by a robust range of educational programming that furthers our mission to provide learning opportunities for school children, families, teachers and youth. This past year, seventeen percent of The CJM's overall audience was families, almost twice the national average for family attendance at art museums, according to the Morey Group, a national marketing research firm that specializes in museums. Through education programs for schools, teachers, youth, and families, The CJM served more than 30,000 individuals in 2012/13. The following provides a summary and highlights of the CJM's Education Programs.
SCHOOL AND TEACHER PROGRAMS:   The CJM works closely with public, private, and Jewish Day Schools to ensure a mix of educational programming that aligns with California State Curriculum Standards as well as the curricular goals of each school. The CJM is proud to provide grade appropriate curricula and activities for preschool through 12th grade as most art museums in the region tailor their education programs for students in grades 2 through 12. - Guided Exhibition Tours Exhibition tours, led by professional educators, are the centerpiece of The CJM's School and Teacher Programs. The Museum's inquiry-based exhibition tours focus on keeping our young visitors' voices and ideas central to their exploration of the exhibition. The tours are designed as interactive discussions that come to life with in-gallery activities that promote observation skills, critical thinking, and personal connections with the exhibition. - Hands-On Art School tour classes are encouraged to deepen their Museum visit by participating in a 45-minute hands-on workshop following their tour. Numerous studies indicate having students take part in exhibition-related activities significantly increases retention of new information and concepts learned during the tour. - Adventures in Architecture Learning opportunities for children continue throughout the summer with The CJM's Adventures in Architecture summer tours. Creatively, these interactive explorations are led by graduates of the Museum's Teen Art Connect internship program after they receive rigorous training. Having well prepared teens lead the tours helps to make them more fun and accessible for young visitors. The tours use The CJM's landmark building, the Museum's only permanent collection, as the focus for engaging in hands-on art activities, scavenger hunts, and design challenges. The tour introduces children and teens to the history of San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, and the former life of our building as a PG&E power substation. - Teacher Resource Guides The CJM exhibitions are highlighted through Teacher Resource Guides that align the exhibition content with California state curriculum. Each guide provides an exhibition overview, images of key artworks, suggested classroom activities divided by age group, and resource listings for further research. As not all classes can visit The CJM, the guides are designed to serve as stand-alone teaching units, filled with classroom applications that do not require a gallery visit. - Educators Open Houses The CJM has a goal of offering three Educator Open Houses per year, each featuring free admission for teachers, gallery talks with exhibiting artists and curators and opportunities to brainstorm curriculum in an environment that encourages social networking. Open Houses are a great way for teachers to prepare for a class visit to the Museum, gather fresh ideas for teaching, and connect with professional peers. - Teacher Professional Development Workshops Teacher Workshops at The CJM are smaller and more in-depth than Educator Open Houses. They are taught by professional art educators who lead step-by-step projects that can be adapted to various curricular themes and grades. The workshops also include general discussions on how to use exhibitions and visual art to enhance classroom teaching of core subjects. Teacher Development Workshops provide teachers and librarians with tailored, specific training and Continued Education Credits. The instruction is focused and highly beneficial and the workshops also meet the professional development needs of the participants. The Museum's School and Teacher Programs in 2012/13 produced the following results: - 8,700 students and 1,500 teachers and parents participated in interactive tours, hands-on art making, and professional development opportunities designed to strengthen academic performance, build fine motor skills, pattern recognition, spatial awareness, creative problem solving, and creative expression. The total number of 10,200 student, teacher and parent participants is a 20% increase from 2011, the highest level in The Museum's history. - 90% of visiting school groups chose to participate in hands-on art making activities after their tour, an increase of 24% from the previous year. - The CJM increased the number of Teacher Development Workshops to fourteen, due to popularity and community need. The Museum served 400 teachers and librarians in FY 2012/13 through the workshops, an increase of 380% from the previous year and increased the average attendance at the workshops from 15 to 29. - In the current school year, 258 teachers attended three Educator Open Houses. - Distribution of the first ever Education brochure to the entire SF Unified School District increased our number of school, youth and summer camp tours to a record high of 352 tours and an increase in repeat visits by schools to the Museum. - 39 summer camp and youth programs groups, with a total of 780 youths toured The Museum through "Adventures in Architecture," an interactive program where the CJM teen interns lead architectural tours with exciting interactive activities. The number of tour visitors represents a 36% increase from the previous year. - The CJM hosted the first ever, west coast, Ezra Jack Keats Bookmaking Competition in conjunction with The Snowy Day and The Art of Ezra Jack Keats exhibition, and in partnership with the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation and the San Francisco Unified School District. Over fifty books, created by 234 children, from nineteen San Francisco public schools were submitted for the competition. One hundred-thirty-five children, parents, educators and excited community members attended a Book Viewing and Award Ceremony, where all the submissions were on display and winners in five age categories were presented with awards. - CJM educational staff participated in three workshops coordinated by The Special Needs Inclusion Project (funded by the City of San Francisco) to assist the CJM staff in meeting the educational programming needs of children with disabilities. As a result, The CJM offered three Family Access Days serving more than 150 children with disabilities and their parents. The Museum also developed a School Access Partnership Program with Grattan Elementary School to serve inclusion classes that contain students with and without disabilities.
SCHOOL AND FAMILY MUSEUM PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM:   Visiting a museum is an amazing opportunity for students and having the opportunity to do art activities with parents and other family members, both before and after a school tour, more meaningfully reinforces the experience. This program was recognized by the prestigious Wallace Foundation for excellence in developing family audiences in 2012 and its report on the importance of arts education, scheduled to be released in fall 2013, will again feature The CJM. Each year, The CJM partners with elementary schools for a semester-long series of in-school and in-museum experiences, led by professional educators, and developed in collaboration with each school. Each school in the Partnership Program receives at least twelve hours of arts instruction that serves students, teachers, and parents. The culminating events for each school is a family art night on site at each participating school and a family day at The Museum that features free admission for the whole family, gallery activities, hands-on art making, and a display of artwork made by the children during the school year's partnership. In FY 2013 The Museum's three San Francisco Public School partners remained Sunnyside, Clarendon, and Buena Vista Elementary Schools. In addition The CJM developed a new Public School partner for our School Access Partner Program - Grattan Elementary. For the coming year The CJM has also developed a partnership with the Yerba Buena Early Child Development Center, our neighbor preschool at Yerba Buena Gardens. For FY 2014 the Museum has five school partners. This evidences The CJM's commitment to the community and increases the costs in providing the program. Based on feedback from our survey of teachers and educators, The Museum added a professional development workshop for teachers from all of our partner schools. The workshop brought together The CJM educators with teachers at the partner schools to co-design the activities to take place at both the schools and The Museum. By doing a workshop and eliciting teacher ideas buy-in on the program was substantially increased. Each partner school had a pre-tour visit with an educator at their school where they read the Ezra Jack Keats book, "Dreams" aloud and did an art workshop based on the book. Projects included art that highlighted bedtime rituals and imagined landscapes with actions that tell a story. Each partner school had two post tour visits by a CJM educator that included art making activities with family members and suggestions for activities families can do at home. The CJM educators aligned their offerings with existing structures at the partner schools - at Sunnyside Elementary, The CJM educators attended the school's Family Art Night and provided the content for the evening. At Buena Vista The CJM educators provided a part of the content for a school-wide literacy program. The attendance for these events at the schools was very high - 300 children and parents between the 3 schools. Each school had a Family Day at the Museum where they toured The Snowy Day exhibition and did connected art activities. In a new offering and as a technique to stimulate family discussion of the exhibition the Museum provided in gallery Family Art Labels. Following the tours students, parents and teachers joined with the CJM educators to utilize art techniques connected to the exhibition including paper marbling and collage. School Access Partner Program: After the CJM staff training by The Special Needs Inclusion Project, The Museum Launched a partnership with Grattan Elementary to offer access to the Museum for students in the school's inclusion program in conjunction with the Do Not Destroy: Trees, Art and Jewish Thought exhibition. This inaugural partnership was conducted with a general education class of twenty-one students and a thirteen student special needs class. The program began with a CJM educator led lesson on ability awareness for the general education class. Then both classes joined for a reading of Ruth Chew's popular children's book, "The Wishing Tree" and then participated in a CJM educator facilitated art activity using collage and papier-mch. Both classes came to The CJM with their teachers and parents for a successful one hour tour of Do Not Destroy: Trees, Art and Jewish Thought.
FAMILY PROGRAMS AT THE CJM   The CJM has made family engagement a priority through multiple program offerings, outreach, and accessibility. Most programs are free with the price of admission, which is always free for youth 18 and under, and are designed to engage both parents and children in hands on exploration of the arts and Jewish traditions. - Drop-in Family Art-Making Every Sunday and on major school holidays The CJM offers free two hour art making workshops for children of all ages and their family members. Led by The CJM educators, each week highlights a different art technique including painting, sculpting, crafting, shadow puppetry, and more. The Museum has successfully extended this program to include major school holidays, giving families a stimulating place to go on days when school is not in session. - Preschool Gallery Hour The CJM's monthly Preschool Gallery Hour ensures an engaging experience for The Museum's youngest visitors. On the second Sunday of every month The CJM opens early just for preschoolers and their families to enjoy 90 minutes of fun at the Museum. During this special time preschoolers enjoy art-making with their families, a creative zone where they can play and move, and visiting performers. - Family Tours In response to increased family attendance, The CJM launched Family Tours in January 2011. These 45-minute interactive tours are designed to engage the whole family through stories, movement, careful looking, and hands-on art making. Family Tours are now offered the first and third Sunday of each month for select exhibitions and were extremely popular this year for The Snowy Day and the Art of Ezra Jack Keats exhibition. - Family Days The Museum offered three family Days in FY 2013 including Yerba Buena Family Day in September 2012, where The CJM collaborated with SFMOMA, MoAD, Creativity Children's Museum, and Yerba Buena Gardens. The fourth annual event featured free admission and activities at all five venues. Over 9,000 people attended the day's festivities, including close to 1,500 at The CJM. The CJM continued its more than twenty year tradition of holding a free Community Day on December 25. This year 2,650 community members came out in the pouring rain and filled the Koret and Taube Grand Lobby and galleries for a full day of magic, interactive games, gallery viewing, and hands on art. In July of this year The CJM offered its third annual LGBTQ Family Morning, welcoming 120 community members onsite for an inclusive and fun event featuring food, live music, art making and interactive games.
TEEN PROGRAMS   As part of The CJM's mission to strengthen Jewish continuity and identity, the Museum offers a range of opportunities for teens to explore contemporary Jewish culture, art, history, and ideas in a creative and welcoming environment that Jewish teens can enjoy alongside their non-Jewish peers. - Teen Art Connect Teen Art Connect (TAC) is a high-impact workforce development program that brings together a new cohort of fifteen high school students from diverse backgrounds each year for a yearlong paid internship at The CJM. Each year the new cohort of interns begins their work in June with a two week intensive summer training in which the teens learn about The CJM's mission, architecture, and exhibitions. Training also includes how to work as professionals in a museum environment with both peers and adults. In the fall the new cohort of interns lead their first tours of the building's architecture and work with the CJM education staff to develop and implement various outreach initiatives and monthly programs for both themselves and The CJM's general teen audience. Examples of afterschool workshops include; public speaking, resume-writing and professional interviewing skills; how to research colleges and prepare college applications; and the uses of safe and effective social media networking. TAC interns also coordinate educational opportunities for teen audiences on the visual arts, architecture, literary arts, and media arts. A central component of the TAC program is a three-month, one-on-one apprenticeship each spring with a CJM staff member. Interns are placed in varying departments within The Museum based on their skills and interests, and have the opportunity to learn about specific areas of arts administration through hands-on experience. This effective program component exposes teen interns to numerous career opportunities within the museum field including exhibition design and installation; arts education; visitor services; marketing and public relations; and fundraising. Intern supervisors serve as mentors throughout the remainder of the TAC internship experience, providing a tailored work experience and individualized support for skill building and professional development. After TAC interns graduate the program, The CJM staff members act as professional references as they pursue their next level of education and new work opportunities outside The Museum. Increased participation in The CJM's After School Workshops and Events (designed and led by TAC interns) by 22%, serving 1,273 teens with skills-based workshops and arts education opportunities. Through Our Lens: A Photo Project of Teen Art Connect, fourteen original photographs taken by TAC interns were displayed at the Museum in conjunction with The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League, 1936-1951. This first ever The CJM teen exhibition was seen by more than 30,000 onsite guests and 80,000 online visitors. In summer 2012, Teen Art Connect interns conducted 39 Adventures in Architecture tours for 780 youths from summer camps and youth programs, up from 31 tours and 620 youth in 2011. - ACCESS 18 Offering teens free access to The CJM is a central and unique component of The Museum's Teen Programs. The CJM is the only major art museum in Northern California to offer free admission for youth from eleven through the age of eighteen. Since the program's launch in June 2008, approximately 32,500 teens have enjoyed free admission. Currently there are 1,092 ACCESS 18 Youth Members, an increase of 18% from last year. Seventy percent of ACCESS 18 Youth Members attend public schools in San Francisco and Alameda counties and more than 50% self-identify as representing communities of color. When teens visit the Museum, they are offered the opportunity to sign up for a free ACCESS 18 Youth Membership, a program that provides special benefits including a personalized membership card, a discount at Wise Son's Deli and The Museum Store, two passes for free admission so that they can bring their parents or other adults in their lives, and invitations to special teen events.

WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C The Museum has a Conflict of Interest Policy that covers Trustees and the principal officers of the Museum and each member of a committee with Board-delegated powers. The policy provides for a systematic and ongoing method of requiring individuals who have decision making responsibility to disclose and address potential and actual conflicts of interest. Covered individuals are required to complete an annual statement disclosing any conflicts of interest and have a duty to update the disclosure for any potential conflicts of interest that arise during the year. Each Trustee and principal officer of the Museum and each member of a committee with Board-delegated powers annually completes and signs the Conflict of Interest Statement and Disclosure Form. To ensure the Museum operates in a manner consistent with its charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews are conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following: (a) Review of compensation arrangements and benefits, or acquisition or de-acquisition of Museum property with disqualified persons and interested directors, if any to ensure that the transactions are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining. (b) Review of partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations, if any, to ensure that the arrangements conform to the Museum's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurenment, impermissible private benefit, an excess benefit transaction, or a self-dealing transaction. When conducting the periodic reviews as above provided, the Museum may, as necessary, use outside experts. If outside experts are used, their use does not relieve the Board of its responsibility for ensuring that periodic reviews are conducted. The applicable individual does not participate in or vote on the transaction.
