Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SchD_P04_S00_L02b Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, as custodian, provides endowment management and investment services to beneficiary, non-profit organizations located in northern New Jersey. Ownership of the assets of the beneficiary agencies is retained by the respective agencies and is commingled for investment purposes with the assets of JFNNJ. In exchange for services provided by JFNNJ, agencies pay an administrative fee.
SchD_P05_S00_L04 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey has a policy of distributing annually 5% of the three year average fair value of the endowment assets to support JFNNJ's programs, and to support programs of the organization's beneficiary agencies and other 501(c)(3) organizations.
SchD_P10_S00_L02 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and also from state and local taxes under comparable laws. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the statements of activities and changes in net assets. JFNNJ rents approximately 22 percent of its office space to several tenants. In 2013, JFNNJ exceeded the threshold of fifteen percent usage of the property of unrelated purposes upon which the net rental income becomes taxable as unrelated business income tax (UBIT). Net rental income in 2013 is $7,070. However, due to the calculations of unrelated business income tax per the provisions of IRC Section 514, it is expected that there will be no tax liability in 2013. JFNNJ had no unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2013 and no open years subject to examination prior to June 30, 2009. In addition, JFNNJ has no income tax related penalties or interest for the current and prior years.
SchD_P11_S00_L02d Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2d Fundraising Events Expenses of $402,190 are presented in Part VIII, Line 8b as an offset to Gross Income from Fundraising Events. Rental expenses of $158,744 are presented in Part VII, Line 6b as an offset to Gross Rents. For financial statement purposes, both Fundraising Income and Rental Income are presented as gross amounts.
SchD_P11_S00_L04b Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4b For financial statement puposes, Donor Designated Gifts of $728,430 are deducted from gross contributions in accordance with US GAAP, specifically FAS 136. However, contributions are grossed-up by these designated gifts on Form 990.
SchD_P12_S00_L02d Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2d Fundraising Event Expenses of $402,191 are presented in Part VII, Line 8b, as an offset to Gross Income from Fundraising Events. Rental Expenses of $158,744 are presented in Part VII, Line 6b, as an offset to Gross Rents. For financial statement purposes, both Fundraising Income and Rental Income are presented as gross amounts. The Change in Valuation Allowance of $1,298,434 is an expense in the financial statements, however it is not an expense on Form 990 as it represents a valuation change of the Charitable Gift Annuities Liability. The total is $1,859,369.
SchD_P12_S00_L04b Schedule D, Part XII, Line 4b This represents donor designated contributions which for financial statement purposes are deducted from gross contributions in accordance with U.S. GAAP, specifically FAS 136. However, contributions are grossed-up by these designated gifts on Form 990.

Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
SchF_P01_S00_L02 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey operates a small office in Israel. The purpose of which is to monitor programs in Israel sponsored by JFNNJ, prepare reports and assessments about these projects, and respond to community leaders' questions regarding continuing and or/new programs. There may be other di minimis costs related to the foreign office for activities performed by JFNNJ, however these are not significant and have not been included in the total reported. The costs of the office are borne by JFNNJ and another Federation.
SchF_P01_S00_L03 Schedule F, Part I, Line 3 JFNNJ has foreign investments in State of Israel bonds only.
SchF_P02_S00_L01 Schedule F, Part II, Line 1 Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey reports grants on Schedule I to the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) which is a domestic U.S. charity. JFNA makes some distributions directly to the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and to the Jewish Agency of Israel (JAFI). All three agencies then send a portion of the grants to nonprofit organizations in Israel and other countries. JFNA, JDC, and JAFI each file separate Forms 990 and report specific grant activity in detail on their respective Schedules F. JFNNJ does not determine the amount to be granted to Israel and abroad, nor does it monitor the grants. As there are monies included within the payments by JFNNJ to JFNA that are then paid to foreign organizations, JFNNJ has included all funds paid to JFNA that are considered to be foreign on Schedule F in accordance with the instructions to Schedule F, Form 990. No direct payments were made by JFNNJ to foreign organizations.

SchI_P01_S00_L02 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Every year agencies requesting funding present their plans, goals, needs and financial data to the Planning and Allocation Committee. This committee deliberates and reviews all submitted information. The committee then makes a recommendation to the Board of Trustees as to the allocation based on funds available. The Board of Trustees meet in May every year to review and approve allocations. Because the agency recipients are located locally and known to the Jewish Federation, JFNNJ maintains close relationships with the agencies enabling JFNNJ to monitor the progress of the agencies' projects and programs for which the monies were allocated. The JFNNJ staff and volunteers work closely on numerous projects with the agencies in many aspects. Additionally, JFNNJ maintains donor advised funds whereby the donors select charities to make grant distributions from their donor advised accounts. All grants are made to 501(c)(3) charitable organizations which are verified as legitimate charities by the JFNNJ staff and then approved by the Endowment grants committee. There grants have been included in Schedule I as well.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SchJ_P01_S00_L03 Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 The Board of Trustees of JFNNJ has adopted the compensation philosophy which it follows when the Board reviews and approves the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management. A review of the "total compensation" for senior management is made to include both current and deferred compensataion and all employee beneits, both qualified and non-qualified. The review is done upon the hiring of the Chief Executive Officer and at times of his contract renewal to ensure that the "total compensation" is reasonable. The actions taken by a committee of the Board enable the organization to receive the rebuttal presumption of reasonableness for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of certain members of senior management. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttal presumption of reasonableness are as follows: 1)the compensation arrangement is approved in advance by a Board committee composed entirely of individuals who are independent and do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2)the committee obtained and relied upon appropriate data as to the comparability prior to making its determination; and 3)the committee has adequately documented the basis for its determination concurrently with making the determination. Documentation for determination and approval is in the form of the timely preparation of written minutes of the meetings. The actions outlined above with respect to the Board and the establishment of the rebuttal presumption of resonableness applies only to senior management. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in the Form 990 are reviewed annually by the CEO with assistance from other staff in conjunction with the individual's job performance during the year and is based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that resonableness and fair market value compensation is paid by JFNNJ. Other objective factors include salary data for comparable positions, personnel reviews and evaluations.
SchJ_P01_S00_L04 Schedule J, Part I, Line 4 Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey provides a 457(b) deferred compensation plan for Jason Shames, the Executive Vice President and David Gad-Harf, the Chief Operational Officer. The JFNNJ contributions to the plan were $7,500 and $7,000 respectively.

F990_P06_S0A_L02 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Jason Shames is the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President of the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, a paid position, and also the Assistant Secretary to the Board of Trustees. Family relationships exist between David Bindelglass and Gale S. Bindelglass; Dr. Leonard Cole and Ruth Cole; Gregory Meisel and Lisa Beth Meisel; and Alan Scharfstein and Karen Scharfstein.
F990_P06_S0A_L04 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 The By-laws of Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey were amended and approved April 30, 2013, and became effective July 1, 2013. Governance policies were impacted as follow: the number of board members was reduced from "not less than 50 nor more than 200 members" to "not less than 25 nor more than 40 members"; the abolishment of the Executive Committee; and the establishment of the Officer's Group.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 and all its schedules are prepared in-house and then reviewed by the tax accountants of the certified public accounting firm which annually audits the financial records of Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey. Suggestions and/or changes to Form 990 are made in accordance with the tax department review. Form 990, excluding Schedule B, is then forwarded to the members of the Audit Committee and Board of Trustees of JFNNJ for their review. Schedule B was not provided for their review in order to respect the privacy of our major donors. After their comments and suggestions are addressed, the return is submitted to the US Treasury.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Conflict of Interest questionnaires are distributed to all members of the Board of Trustees, officers, board committee members, key employees and those employees in a position of management. The questionnaires are reviewed for issues of conflict and presented to the Officer's Group (formerly the Executive Committee) of the Board for determination whether there is a conflict and resolution. All new trustees or personnel complete a questionniare upon assuming a new position. Questionnaires are updated at the beginning of each new term or upon situational changes to Board members or personnel. Because Board positions are generally two year in length, bi-annual updates and reviews of Board members have been appropriate.
F990_P06_S0B_L15 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Under the auspices of the JFNNJ Board of Trustees, the Personnel Committee, which is made up of volunteers and assisted by lay people with expertise in the area of executive compensation, reviews surveys, and studies all pertinent information from other federations as a benchmark for the salary and benefits of all key employees. Compensation changes are reviewed and authorized by the Personnel Committee. All changes are then approved by the JFNNJ Board of Trustees. See Schedule J for additional information regarding the organization's review and approval process for key employees.
