Explanation
Program Service Activity
Form 990, Part III, Line 1: 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 2013-14 was an especially rewarding period of program development and community engagement with new Executive Director Lori Starr. In this past year, The CJM welcomed new Chief Curator, Renny Pritikin; invited Dr. Yamile Bermingham and Ellen Kahn, ESQ. to join the Board of Trustees; and added the Zim Zoom Family Room-a new family destination for creative discovery, story sharing, and fun. In the six 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 renewals, 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: EXHIBITIONS IN REVIEW: The Museum's 2013-14 exhibition schedule exemplified The Museum's commitment of mounting thought-provoking and broadly appealing exhibitions that share Jewish culture with a diverse twenty-first century audience. True to The Museum's dedication to host and create 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. - Beyond Belief: 100 Years of the Spiritual in Modern Art (June 28-October 27, 2013) - Black Sabbath: The Secret Musical History of Black-Jewish Relations (March 31, 2011-August 26, 2014) - Stanley Saitowitz: Judaica (November 3, 2011-September 8, 2013) - Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg (May 23-September 8, 2013) - Work in Progress: Considering Utopia (October 3, 2013-January 20, 2014) - To Build and Be Built: Kibbutz History (October 3, 2013-July 8, 2014) - Jason Lazarus: Live Archive (November 21, 2013-March 23, 2014) - Frog and Toad and the World of Arnold Lobel (November 21, 2013-March 23, 2014) - Six-Word Memoirs on Jewish Life-Live from The CJM!

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 2013-14.

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. Program highlights include: - Teen Art Connect (TAC)-a 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. - Adventures in Architecture which offers tours to teens led by teens. - Access 18-The CJM is the only major art museum in Northern California to offer free admission for youth from eleven through the age of eighteen.

Form 990 Review Process
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b: The Board of Trustees delegated review and approval of the information returns to the Audit and Finance Committees. Grant Thornton LLP and the organization's finance staff work together to gather the required tax information necessary to complete the tax returns. The initial draft return is reviewed by Grant Thornton LLP and the organization's management. After the return is discussed and reviewed, recommended changes are reflected on the return and a draft tax return is prepared. The Audit Committee reviews the draft return and, once satisfied with the return, the Audit Committee recommends approval to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee reviews the draft return and, once satisfied with the return approves the return for filing with the IRS. The full Board receives a full copy of the return prior to the return being filed with the IRS.
Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflict of Interest Policy
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12: 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 inurnment, impermissible private benefit, in an excess benefit transaction, or in 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.
Process for Determining Compensation of Executive Director & Key Employees
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a and 15b For changes in compensation for the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, the Board delegated review and approval to the Executive Committee. This Committee compared the proposed salary and benefits to salaries and benefits paid by similarly-situated organizations for functionally-comparable positions in the San Francisco Bay Area. For other key employees, the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer conduct reviews of comparable positions and approves salaries and benefits.
