CCLC successfully advocated to codify the Governor's 2021 child care promise - adding 200,000 publicly funded child care spaces by 2027-28 -through the FY2024-25 state budget. We also achieved a multi-year advocacy goal to ensure that all families receiving publicly funded child care now have at least 24 months of continuous eligibility. As California policymakers and advocates work to develop a new methodology for determining fair compensation for child care providers, CCLC continues to provide policy analysis to guide their decisions and advance the adoption of equitable pay policies. 76299 8707 Technical assistance for legal services programs: CCLC is the only organization in the country devoted exclusively to child care law. Our primary purpose is to provide technical assistance, information, training, and co-counseling to IOLTA-funded legal services programs in California. Through our research and advocacy, we address the systemic injustices embedded in our legal system and child care policies. We update legal aid programs about changing laws and regulations that impact Californians with low incomes, so they can help their clients. Legal aid programs rely on our legal expertise about children and families and child care to give assistance and representation to their clients.In addition to our support services, we assisted individuals with limited representation to protect housing, subsidies for children with disabilities, subsidy benefits, or other issues. 26479 Lobbying: CCLC engages in administrative and legislative advocacy to achieve its mission. Some advocacy activities constitute lobbying. CCLC engages in these activities not restricted by funders, and to the extent permitted by law. 581 Community education and outreach: CCLC gives families, child care providers, attorneys, and advocates specific information about child care-related legal topics, including children with disabilities, housing and zoning rights, and child care financial assistance. We conducted 50 workshops attended by approximately 3,000 people, answered 300 questions for information via email, and posted answers to 63 Frequently Asked Questions on our website. Our staff also participated in countless informal information sessions, stakeholder meetings, and community meetings so attendees could rely on legal expertise. CCLC includes landlords, city governments, and homeowner associations in our community education plan. Hence, they know the rules they must follow to promote and protect child care programs in their communities.CCLC educates community partners and advocates about racial justice and social justice and builds a racial equity lens into education and advocacy activities. 581 1181642 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X X X Maisha Cole - Executive Director 4155588005 1220 Seventh Street 2nd Floor Berkeley CA 94710 Natasha Saggar Sheth Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ernest Hammond III Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Frank Pare Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Efthymiou Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Rachel Boyce Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Gutierrez-Hunter Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Holder Board Member (end 5/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Samuel Levine Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paula Mathis Board Member (end 8/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sabrina Siddiqui Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Moony Tong Board Member (end 9/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Kruckel Executive Director (end 6/24) 40.00 X 85055 0 2105 Maisha Cole Deputy Dir./Exec.

Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by Child Care Law Center in their federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Child Care Law Center's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.
