UU College of Social Justice The mission of the UUCSJ is to inspire and sustain faith-based justice action on issues of local, national and global importance, through a variety of experiential learning programs. In fiscal year 2016 our programs included service learning journeys to the Arizona/Mexico border with BorderLinks, Haiti with the Papaye Peasant Movement (MPP), Bellingham, WA with the Lummi Nation, and Nicaragua in partnership with Equal Exchange. This year's programs to the border included one designed for religious leaders and another tailored to a high school youth group.In addition to our service learning programs, we provided two experiential justice education programs for high school youth, called Activate! In fiscal 2016, we ran week-long trainings in Boston and in New Orleans, with a total of 32 youth. We piloted a new justice training program for young adults this year (ages 19-34) focused on racial justice. Created in collaboration with the UUA's Thrive program, 31 young adults - over half of them young adults of color - came to New Orleans for an intensive exploration of how our denomination can respond to the current challenges and opportunities of racial justice. Our internships for college age young adults placed 12 interns with justice organizations in the US, Ghana and England; through the generosity of our donors we were able to support our interns with small stipends. We deepened their experience through a series of weekly vocational and spiritual reflections and supported them with chaplains drawn from our Program Leaders. We continued our skilled volunteer placements with UUSC partner RAICES in San Antonio, TX. We recruited, screened, placed and supported 24 volunteers with legal training and/or fluency in Spanish in three cadres, May through July; volunteers worked for one to five weeks. We were supported in this important work through home stays and transportation assistance by volunteers from the First UU Church of San Antonio.All of our programs are supported by a justice learning framework, primarily the UUCSJ Study Guide for Cross-Cultural Engagement. They are generally led by our Program Leaders, who we support with a training and retreat each fall. Our current cadre of 21 Program Leaders includes 14 ministers, seminarians or Directors of Religious Education; 11 are people of color and 8 are fluent Spanish Speakers. UUCSJ is structured as a program unit of the UUSC, jointly governed by the UUA and UUSC for the benefit of both organizations under the terms of a joint operating agreement.

Return Reference Explanation
Part X, Line 2: UUSC accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. UUSC has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity and its determination of which income is related and unrelated as its only significant tax positions and has determined that such tax positions do not result in uncertainty requiring recognition. UUSC is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. UUSC's Federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for three years after the date of filing, including extensions.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Rental expense 350,359. Change in value of split-interest gifts -155,096.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Rental expense 350,359.

Form 990, Part I, Management Comment regarding Year to Year comparison (FY16 vs. FY15): UUSC follows generally accepted accounting principles for revenue recognition and experienced an anomalous surge with $2.5m in pledges in FY15 at the peak of our highly successful UUSC Rising Campaign followed by $0.5m in pledges in FY16. As a result of our successful UUSC Rising Campaign to fund new strategic initiatives, program expenses increased over $0.9m in FY16. This activity explains the year to year differences seen in Part I on page 1 of the Form 990. Further information regarding UUSC Rising and our financial results is available by contacting UUSC at info@uusc.org.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a: Rights at Risk UUSC's Rights at Risk Program addresses the needs of populations on the outer margins of society, who are traditionally excluded from mainstream aid responses. In situations of forced displacement, natural and man-made disasters, and gross violations of civil and political rights, UUSC works to restore, protect, and advance these rights through programs of social transformation and structural change. In addition to urgent responses to the Nepal earthquake, political violence in Burundi, and the refugee crisis in the Middle East/Europe, UUSC's ongoing rights at risk work focuses on confronting ethnic persecution of minorities in Burma and supporting efforts to uphold the rights of migrants from Central America who are seeking asylum in the United States. UUSC also recently rolled out a new long-term strategy to advance sexual orientation and gender identity rights in southern Africa. In total UUSC has 44 active rights at risk partners in 22 countries around the world, including Burundi, Ecuador, Greece, Haiti, Hungary, Nepal, the Philippines, and the United States, among others. Last year, UUSC provided a total of 48 rights at risk grants worth $1.63M. Urgent Responses Following April's devastating earthquake on the northern coastal region of Ecuador, UUSC engaged longtime partner, the Asociaci n Movimiento Mi Cometa, to provide immediate relief to affected communities, paying special attention to such vulnerable groups as ethnic and tribal minorities, refugees, women, and children. Mi Cometa is currently on the ground in Esmeraldas Province to deliver water, food, books, medicine, and mattresses to at least 6,000 people. UUSC continues to respond to the dire refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe with a three-pronged strategy: supporting refugees along key migration routes in Greece and the Balkans; providing legal support to refugees in Jordan; and creating a welcoming environment for refugees through peace vigils, social media campaigns, a refugee guidebook and direct provision of services. The partnerships established through this strategy have yielded significant results. For example, the Asylum Protection Center (APC), a human rights group based in Belgrade that promotes the rights of asylum seekers and refugees in Serbia, used UUSC funds to purchase a camper vehicle to transport its mobile teams of aid professionals to deliver comprehensive services to refugees across Serbia. APC's mobile teams were able to provide: nearly 26,000 refugees with critical information about their legal rights; more than 1,100 refugees with free legal aid; almost 900 refugees with psychosocial support; and more than 4,500 refugees with humanitarian aid. UUSC also helped Praksis, a Greek organization that provides humanitarian aid to vulnerable groups in Greece, purchase a van to transfer all unaccompanied children who were detained in Moria to a new open facility at Madamados. In total, more than 1,200 refugees received transportation services of one form or another by these means. One year after the devastating earthquake in Nepal, UUSC continues to support communities affected by the devastation. In order to promote trauma healing in affected communities, UUSC supported a program to train survivors of the earthquake in the Trauma Resource Institute's Community Resiliency Model, which trained more than 750 participants. UUSC also partnered with TEWA-Nepal Women's Fund to send volunteers to earthquake-affected districts to work with mothers' groups, community groups, children, and teachers in schools on issues related to human rights, income generation, and gender sensitivity. TEWA's work helped an estimated 1,200 individuals. In the midst of the political crisis in Burundi, as egregious rights abuses continue, UUSC's partner, International Bridges to Justice (IBJ), provided legal representation to nearly 100 individual activists who were arrested and detained during massive protests against President Nkurunziza's government; successfully secured the release from prison of roughly 30% of its clients; and obtained prosecutorial acquittals of nearly 80% of those for whom such relief was available. UUSC maintains an active presence in the Philippines with ten current partners working to build community resiliency from trauma, rebuild sustainable livelihoods, and provide support to vulnerable populations. For example, the Consortium for People's Development-Disaster Response (CPD-DR) was able to train more than 500 members of the indigenous Tumandok tribe (benefiting roughly 900 people) in disaster management and preparedness, sustainable agriculture, and advocacy. All of UUSC's Philippines partners remain actively engaged in projects that advance human rights and strive to build more resilient communities. In Haiti, UUSC continues its post-earthquake support of the Peasant Movement of Papaye (MPP) in the construction and maintenance of a school in Haiti's rural Central Plateau region, which currently serves roughly 140 children of displaced earthquake survivors in a community that otherwise would not have access to education. UUSC also supports Foundation Zanmi Timoun's work to provide humanitarian assistance - in the form of food, health services, and reunification - to children who have been repatriated and deported from the Dominican Republic. Last fiscal year, Zanmi Timoun was able to offer crucial support to over 600 repatriated and/or deported minors at the Belladere border crossing. Zanmi Timoun remains one of only two NGOs performing such work in Belladere. Ongoing Work Unprecedented levels of violence continue to push Central Americans to flee their homes and make the dangerous journey northward in search of safety in the United States. UUSC is responding to this intolerable situation with a transnational strategy, initiating eight new partnerships in Central America, Mexico, and the United States this fiscal year. In Mexico, UUSC has partnered with FM4 Paso Libre, the only NGO providing rights-based humanitarian aid to migrants in Guadalajara. UUSC helped FM4 extend a migrant shelter's service hours and expand its operational capacity to support migrants by hiring an additional staff member. A total of 3,126 migrants stayed in the shelter in the first six months of 2016, where they received two hot meals and one boxed lunch per day, free phone calls to their families, and medical first aid and legal orientation. Within the United States, UUSC renewed a partnership with Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) in South Texas to provide legal representation to women and children in family detention. RAICES has been able to demonstrate strong results in its work with UUSC thus far. For example, RAICES provided direct representation in a total of 1,231 legal cases to mothers during their "credible fear interviews and other phases of the asylum process. RAICES' representation directly impacted the lives of nearly 700 individuals, or between 5% and 10% of the population of the detention center where it focused its work, and indirectly impacted many more. Significantly, as a result of RAICES' representation and presence at the Karnes Family Detention Center in Texas, the rate of judicial approvals in credible fear interviews rose to above 90%, from about 35% before RAICES' involvement. Emerging Work State-sponsored homophobia is on the rise in Southern Africa, and many efforts to arrest it have failed or made things worse. Furthermore, civil society promoting sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) rights is still fairly young in Africa, and organizations working on SOGI issues are frequently prevented from operating freely and openly due to security concerns and government unwillingness to formally register them as not-for-profit organizations. Much of the discrimination against sexual minorities in Africa is cast in religious and cultural rhetoric - that is, that it's "un-Christian or "un-African" to be gay. This is largely due to parties who actively work to foment an anti-homosexual perspective that has led to hateful vitriol in countries where there are receptive audiences. UUSC is supporting the work of the Inclusive and Affirming Ministries (IAM) to support LGBTI clergy and progressive religious communities in Africa and partnering with the Initiative for Strategic Litigation in Africa (ISLA) to support the development of lawyers who work locally and who take on winnable cases that tangibly minimize the harmful features of laws that implicate SOGI rights.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b: Environmental Justice & Climate Action For years, UUSC has been on the cutting edge of ensuring that the human right to water is recognized in principle and becomes a reality in practice. UUSC collaborates with innovative groups who are protecting water resources and increasing access to services in law and practice. Recognizing that too many people are denied the human right to water because of discriminatory policies and procedures, UUSC focuses on working with rural communities and low-income urban residents, indigenous people, people of color, women, children, and people living with disabilities. In addition to its work defending the human right to water, UUSC seeks to combat the exploitation of natural resources in indigenous communities and to protect and advance the human rights of those that are most affected by and least able to respond to the impacts of climate change. UUSC's unparalleled efforts to promote the human right to water in the United States and around the world include the following: -Helping the US Human Rights Network (USHRN) petition the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to hold hearings on the United States' continued denial of the existence of any federal law guaranteeing the human right to water. The hearings, granted in September 2015, were held in April 2016 and included testimony from a number of UUSC partners. -Accompanying U.S. community representatives in their testimony at the IACHR hearings; meeting with U.N. Rapporteurs to request a visit to affected communities and an official IACHR or U.N. report on water and sanitation in the United States; and holding meetings with staff of seven federal agencies to discuss water affordability, safety, and access. -Continuing to support Massachusetts Global Action in its "Color of Water" advocacy campaign in the Boston area, which has already led the Boston Water and Sewer Commission to increase its water discount for senior citizens, benefiting nearly 74,000 individuals. -Supporting Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise's (ACRE) work to help residents of Lowndes County, AL, gain access to improved sanitation infrastructure, including an international design for sustainable and affordable on-site wastewater technology compatible with the "Black Belt" soils in the county. ACRE's efforts could improve the health of the roughly 5,000 individuals impacted by failing sanitation systems. To supplement its grantmaking and advocacy related to the human right to water, UUSC's research unit published a major report on inequity around the high price of water in the United States. The report, "The Invisible Crisis: Water Unaffordability in the United States", reveals the human costs of expensive water for low-income people through the experiences of UUSC's partners. These costs include devastating effects of water shutoffs for low-income people, children, elders, and people with disabilities; the impacts of criminalizing poverty in rural Black Belt regions; the ways permitted pollution passes the burden of clean water onto water customers; and other important issues. As a result of the report's release, UUSC's senior program leader for environmental justice and climate action, Salote Soqo, was invited to present UUSC's work on the human right to water at the United Nations' "High-Level Political Forum: Ensuring that no one is left Behind" in July 2016. UUSC also supports grassroots organizations engaged in combatting the exploitation of natural resources in indigenous communities. For example, UUSC was the sole funder of Asociacion Comison Paz y Ecologia's (COPAE) aggressive radio campaign to inform indigenous populations across the country about the Guatemala Constitutional Court's judgment ordering the suspension of all mining licenses in indigenous territories in Western Guatemala. COPAE also instructed the Ministry of Energy and Mines to consult indigenous peoples before granting mining licenses in their territories. In Bolivia, UUSC helped Fundacion Agua con Vida (FACV) launch a new initiative, "Water in Cochabamba," which aims to provide a platform where communities and decision makers can come together to discuss human rights issues relating to development of the Misicuni Dam. FACV's hopes to ensure that water rates are low enough that the more than two million consumers served by the project can actually afford the service. In total, UUSC has 22 active environmental justice and climate action partners in 7 countries around the world, including Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Kenya, and the United States, among others. Last year, UUSC provided a total of 13 partners with $340K worth of financial and technical support.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c: Economic Justice UUSC's Economic Justice Program develops strategic partnerships and networks, builds movements, and influences local, statewide, and national policy in order to advance workers' rights. With a focus on the rights of women who work in the informal economy and workers in several sectors of the food industry, the economic justice program aims to: (i) empower and organize workers to advocate for their rights; (ii) foster the creation of fair, safe work environments that are free from intimidation and harassment; and (iii) hold corporations accountable for violations of their workers' human rights. UUSC's efforts to empower and improve the livelihoods of workers in the informal economy include partnerships in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In Kenya, for example, UUSC helped increase business incomes for more than 2,700 individuals by supporting a program by the Kenya National Alliance of Street Vendors and Informal Traders (KENASVIT) to establish a revolving loan fund for informal workers. In Pakistan and Nepal, UUSC's partners (HomeNet Pakistan and Saathi) will train more than 3,500 women home-based workers in leadership skills, human rights, advocacy, and communication, and conduct more than 40 meetings and consultations with government officials and representatives regarding rights of women home-based workers. In the Middle East, UUSC is helping Sharek Youth Forum reverse systemic gender biases by training young women in the Occupied Palestinian Territories to pursue employment in non-traditional sectors and industries. UUSC continued to help low-income and immigrant workers in the food industry through unique partnerships with domestic grassroots organizations. In addition to financially supporting Northwest Arkansas Workers' Justice Center (NWAWJC) campaign to empower and protect poultry workers, for instance, UUSC: (i) contributed substantially to a report issued by NWAWJC, titled Wages and Working Conditions in Arkansas Poultry Plants - UUSC's research team carried out extensive research on wages, employment, benefits, and demographics in state and national agency records, and drafted a key portion of the report; (ii) provided strategic advocacy guidance and worked with local faith communities to mobilize a rally at Tyson Food's annual shareholder meeting at Tyson headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas, UUSC; and (iii) organized public relations and media for the report and Tyson's rally, which garnered attention from a dozen different media sources including national/regional newspapers, TV, and radio outlets. (See, for example, pieces in The Nation and ThinkProgress.) UUSC also supports the "Good Food Now!" campaign, which calls on Darden Restaurants, Inc. - a restaurant operator that owns, among other restaurant chains, Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse - to ensure that at least 20% of its food purchases abide by the Good Food Purchasing Policy principles. The campaign has received media coverage in a number of sources, including Politico's "Morning Agriculture." In total, UUSC has collected over 55,000 signatures in support of the campaign. In total, UUSC has 21 active economic justice partners operating in 12 countries around the world, including Kenya, Malawi, Nepal, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Pakistan, the United States, and Zimbabwe, among others. Last year, UUSC provided a total of 13 economic justice partners with $297K worth of financial and technical support.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The draft of the Form 990 is discussed and reviewed with the audit committee of the board of trustees for their comments, input and approval. All the members of the governing body receive either a hard copy or an electronic copy of the Form 990 before it is filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c UUSC regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy which covers all staff and the board of trustees. In doing so, all decisions (financial or non-financial) are scrutinized to ensure that they are not self-serving with respect to UUSC personnel or members of the board of trustees. Human Resources decides if a conflict of interest exists for UUSC personnel and elevates the matter to the President/CEO or the President of the board of trustees as appropriate. The board completes a conflict of interest form annually which is then shared with the full board. Any conflicted individual is prohibited from voting or making any decisions related to the matter.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The compensation of the President/CEO is determined by the executive committee of the board of trustees, all of whom are independent of the President/CEO. The compensation is determined by reference to comparability data. The President/CEO's compensation is reviewed and potentially adjusted annually upon board approval. The organization maintains contemporaneous documentation of the deliberation and decision. Compensation for other officers is determined by the President/CEO. Such compensation is similarly determined by reference to comparability data.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 UUSC makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public by publishing them on its website. Additionally, the Form 990 and financial statements are available through the Massachusetts Attorney General's website.
