Easter Seals Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a work-based community service program for older workers, funded by the Department of Labor (DOL). Authorized by the Older American Act, the program provides subsidized, service-based training for low-income persons 55 or older, who are unemployed with poor employment prospects. SCSEP's mission is to promote economic self-sufficiency for older individuals working to achieve this goal. Program participants train at community non-profits and government agencies, gaining skills to prepare them for employment.See Schedule O for additional program information. In addition, Easter Seals provides program participants training to help them become job-ready; this can include resume workshops, interview workshops, job search assistance, and other supports to become job-ready.Easter Seals had nine affiliate organizations working as sub-recipients of SCSEP during its 2013 program year. During program year 2013, Easter Seals served over 2,600 participants and successfully trained many participants who were "most in need." Participants included nearly 300 people over age 70; over 1,200 homeless or at-risk of homelessness; 700 with a disability; over 300 veterans; 380 participants with limited English proficiency; over 600 tested with low literacy skills; and over 1,200 had an advanced education ranging from one year of college to doctoral degrees. Nearly 350 participants exited during the year for paid employment, with an average starting wage of $10.75 per hour, made possible through their participation in SCSEP. During this same period, Easter Seals SCSEP participants provided 1.3 million hours of community service hours to local not-for-profit and government agencies through their training assignments. These community service hours greatly benefit local communities in addition to training SCSEP participants.

Easter Seals Project Action (ESPA) is a cooperative agreement funded by the Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Its mission is to promote universal access to transportation for people with disabilities of all ages under federal law and beyond by partnering with transportation providers, the disability community and others through the provision of training, technical assistance, outreach, and communication.The total number of people reached in 2013 was 30,370 not including the special mailing to 16,000 people. This number increased by 14% from 2012.See Schedule O for additional program information.Highlights from 2013: ESPA carried the message of accessible transportation to nearly every state and the District of Columbia, reaching 30,370 individuals through direct interactions in training, technical assistance and events and various marketing channels, our website, e-news, Twitter and online communities all through a staff of less than twelve dedicated people. We helped 32 new communities with targeted technical assistance to improve coordination to expand transportation access for people with disabilities. Our 800# information and referral line experienced significant growth in demand almost twice that of last year receiving 6,782 calls vs. 3,926 in 2012. Our award winning publications team produced 13 new or updated products shipping over 27,000 hardcopy materials. We continue to see expansion in downloading our materials, a process made easier with the modernized ESPA website. We increased awareness and trained more customers for the fourth year in a row. Through adult-learning courses, presentations, conferences, and advisory committee activities staff connected with 17,309 people, a 36% increase over 2012. Our major subject matter areas of focus continue to be the transportation provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the intersection between health/wellness and transportation, veterans' transportation, accessible transportation coordination best practices and facilitating youth transition through access to transportation. Training & Technical Assistance Highlights: ESPA staff designed and began using a less expensive remote, but more focused and in-depth community involvement approach to technical assistance. This model is built upon the ESPA's earlier Mobility Planning Services Institute model. We provided accessible-transportation-related adult-learning courses to 3,438 people in 57 events, a 33% increase over the number of persons trained in 2012. Rates of support in technical assistance and information and referral jumped to 7,163 people served, a 57% increase over the 2012 numbers. Outreach/Communication: ESPA staff presented at 68 events, on average more than one per week, with a yearly total of 4,818 attendees resulting in a 182% increase from 2012. In addition, staff shared knowledge and perspectives in 52 meetings of various key standing committees related to our mission and as part of our commitment to development and collaboration. Partnership is an essential element of ESPA's outreach. After over 25 years of experience, ESPA's engagement with other national organizations includes substantive activities beyond conferences and advisory committee support. We find significant utility in driving important messages like the essential relationship between health and wellness and access to transportation resources through joint educational product development. In 2013, ESPA promoted an informational pocket guide developed with the American Medical Association in 2012 with the National Rural Health Association. This guide, Planning for Transportation After Medical Services, was distributed to thousands more customers because of this new partnership. ESPA products/resources were ordered by and shipped to 689 customers. In addition, a special mailing that included three of our newest products went to the 16,000 subscribers to our print newsletter. Over the course of the year, ESPA wrote, edited, and printed and/or posted a total of 13 new or revised products and resources, including pocket guides, informational topic guides, training manuals, curriculum, and special reports.Leveraging the web is an important outreach strategy. ESPA uses a number of social media and interactive engagement online venues in this regard including e-news, Twitter, online communities, and online dialogues. ESPA now hosts four permanent online communities (i.e., Accessible Transportation Coalition Initiative [ATCI]/Accessible Transportation Technical Support Program [ATTS], Mobility Management Independent Living Coaches, Global Travel Training Community, & Accessible Transportation for Students). ESPA also launches online communities for the duration of each online course when they are open for participation. This year those communities drew 391 participants. E-news updates with trends, success stories and other useful and timely information was distributed monthly sustaining an average of 8,143 subscribers at year's end. The print newsletter was discontinued and replaced by a quarterly electronic Information Brief, each of which addresses a specific topic of interest to our stakeholders. Average monthly website unique visitors were 2,508/month. Social media use by customers and staff grew. Staff and invited guests blogged on key topics almost once a week - 51 posts in 2013 double the number from 2012. Twitter followers now number 652, a 35% growth from last year.Grant efficiency (grant revenue/# persons served) for 2013 is $76/per person served, down by $36 dollars/persons served from the $113/person average from 2012 when excluding the 16,000 hardcopy subscription, demonstrating the significant fiduciary responsibility of Easter Seals' federal grant management leadership. Grant effectiveness (# persons served/#FTEs) for 2013 rose above that for 2012. Staff time for 2013 averaged 11.7 persons achieving grant effectiveness improvement of 17% over 2012 to 2391 persons served per full time employee.

Easter Seals and the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging continue to administer the National Center for Senior Transportation (NCST). The NCST staff work to educate on and expand awareness of the issues related to transportation options for older adults and the need for more options to be available in communities across the country. The program is distinct in its focus on community grant-making for the purpose of finding and testing best practices in senior transportation options. See Schedule O for additional program information.The NCST gained prominence as a key "go to" organization for information and best practices on transportation options for older adults, serving a very wide group of national and local stakeholders through the outreach of staff and the partnership with the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a). Easter Seals and n4a co-lead this grant. These activities result in a total of 13,510 individuals with whom NCST interacted. This number does not include the additional 18,296 individuals who received specific transportation-related assistance through the Eldercare Locator with which NCST has a cooperative working agreement.Major initiatives in 2013 were the completion of community mini-grants that were focused on diversity and building bridges with the gerontology and public health community. The NCST continues to lead the way in diversity outreach, and hosting coalition building meetings that further the understanding of the many barriers that elders from multi-cultural and multi-lingual communities face. Through partnerships with national aging organizations and services providers, NCST has increased national awareness of the transportation needs of older adults. The partnership with the Eldercare Locator continues to make the NCST a resource to assist older adults who need a ride.Technical assistance and information and referral: The bulk of calls for help with transportation issues, which numbered 18,296 for the year, were routed to and handled through the Eldercare Locator managed by NCST, Easter Seals' co-partner n4a. The total number of customers who contacted ESPA either through using our 800#, e-mail/website, or the Eldercare Locator was 19,528 in 2013, up from 8,998 in 2012. The total number of training and technical assistance events held was 10 with 674 participants.Outreach/Communication: NCST created awareness about senior transportation issues at 15 events reaching 743 participants. Monthly e-news subscriptions remained steady at about 4,600 throughout the year. Use of social media through online communities grew from 243 members to 415 and Twitter followers more than doubled from 65 to 174. Website traffic also remained steady with a monthly average of about 4,000 unique visitors. A new video was created and launched on the NCST website in May 2013. Between its launch and the end of the year, it was accessed 602 times almost 100 times per month. Materials were downloaded from the library 1,070 times over 10 1/2 months when the website was operational. For 90 days the website had to be offline as we transitioned the site to a new platform with a more modern look and feel and greater user functionality. Staff distributed 2,633 products/resources during the year to people through exhibit booths and presentations at key aging and transportation conferences. Grant efficiency (Grant revenue/# persons served) improved significantly in 2013. Grant efficiency in 2012 equaled $24 per person served and in the current year it totaled $20 per person served, a 17% decrease.Total FTEs for 2013 was 4.25 (2 ES staff and 2.25 n4a staff) resulting in a grant effectiveness for 2013 (# persons served/#FTEs) of 3,179 persons served per FTE, approximately 11.5% over the 2,878 persons served/FTE in 2012.

Return Reference Explanation
Part V, Line 4: The principal is to be invested in perpetuity with the interest to be spent for Easter Seals Inc. operating activities based on the board approved spending policy.
Part X, Line 2: Easter Seals 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 accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes 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, Easter Seals 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 Easter Seals and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements. Easter Seals files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Illinois. Easter Seals is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2010.
Part XII, Line 4b - Other Adjustments: Pension liability adjustments other than net periodic benefit cost 3,172,431.
