| Program Service Activity | 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 CJM 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. In the eight years since opening its new facility, the museum has become well-known for its groundbreaking exhibitions and innovative education programs that build bridges of understanding between the Jewish people and those of other faiths. It has become a family destination for creative discovery, story sharing, and fun. The CJM continues to advance in its ability to effectively engage online audiences through new social media and marketing strategies, as evidenced by continuing growth of Instagram and Twitter followers, and increasing Facebook subscribers. The CJM website reached 222,488 visitors, with approximately 70% of users logging on to the site for the first time. A new website design (completed in November 2016) offers more opportunities for visitor interaction, and improved mobile capabilities. Exhibitions: With a focus on increasing the museums reach, impact and international reputation, program accomplishments included the following extraordinary exhibitions over the past year (including original and curated CJM exhibitions and traveling exhibitions) viewed by 115,000 visitors: "Lamp of the Covenant" Lobby Installation by Dave Lane March 1, 2015Ongoing "In That Case: Havruta in Contemporary Art - Anthony Discenza and Peter Straub" April 30-July 14, 2015 "Night Begins the Day: Rethinking Space, Time, and Beauty" June 18September 20, 2015 "Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait" July 23-November 1, 2015 "You Know I'm No Good" July 23-November 1, 2015 "Pour Crever by Trimpin" September 24, 2015September 1, 2016 "NEAT: New Experiments in Art and Technology" Oct 15, 2015Jan 17, 2016 "Chasing Justice" November 19, 2015February 21, 2016 "Roman Vishniac Rediscovered" February 11May 30, 2016 "In That Case: Havruta in Contemporary Art - Jenny Odell and Philip Buscemi" Jan 28Jul 5, 2016 "Bill Graham and the Rock & Roll Revolution" Mar 17July 5, 2016 "Stanley Kubrick: The Exhibition" Jun 30Oct 30, 2016 "Torah Tour and The People's Torah" April 2011Ongoing Exhibitions "Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait"Night Begins Day: Rethinking Space, Time and Beauty" were named one of the best exhibitions of 2015 by theculturetrip.com and squarecylinder.com, respectively. The opening for "Bill Graham: Rock and Roll Revolution" was the highest attended opening in past years with over 860 people celebrating the Bay Area rock legend. Education Programs: The CJMs exhibitions are complemented by a robust range of educational programming that furthers The Museums mission to provide learning opportunities for school children, families, teachers and youth. Again in FY 2016, 13% of The CJMs 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 serves more than 19,000 individuals annually. 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 provides 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. Programs include the following: - Guided Exhibition Tours - Hands-On Art - Zim Zoom Family Room - Ezra Jack Keats Student Bookmaking Competition on the West Coast - Educators Open Houses - Teacher Professional Development Workshops - University Tours - School Partnership Program - Outreach to Schools and Teachers Direct communications with teachers, informal educators, and school administrators is an essential component of The CJMs School and Teacher Programs. Ongoing communications tools include: - The CJM Website - Quarterly Teacher eNews - Education Postcards - Electronic News Blasts - Teacher Resource Fairs Family Programs: 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. Programs include: - Drop-In Family Art-Making - Preschool Super Fun Sundays - Family Gallery Adventures - ARTpacks - Library Partnerships - Access Gallery Tours - Gallery Art Carts |
| Form 990 Review Process | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b: The Board of Trustees delegated review and approval of the Form 990 to the Audit Committee. Grant Thornton LLP and the organization's finance staff work together to gather the required information necessary to complete the form. The initial draft Form 990 is reviewed by Grant Thornton LLP and the organization's management. After the form is discussed and reviewed, recommended changes are reflected on the form and an updated Form 990 is prepared. The Audit Committee reviews the udpated Form 990 and, once satisfied with the return, the Audit Committee approves the return for filing with the IRS. The Audit Committee further reviews the Form 990 with the Finance Committee and then provides a complete copy of the form to the Board of Trustees prior to it 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 process requiring individuals who have decision-making responsibilities 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, 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 inurement, 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. |
