1.Project Description(Attach additional sheets as necessary.)
a. Provide a detailed description of the facilities to be provided or improved. Identify major components of
.proposed work and state estimated quantities:
Phase I will be the complete renovation of the first floor to increase the child care classrooms
from four rooms to seven rooms and some modification to the common areas throughout the building.
The remaining floors will be renovated in a later phase. The funds requested through the Community
Development Block Grant(CDBG) are limited to the Phase I renovation.
The existing building design is obsolete with several functional deficiencies that limit the
operational efficiencies and long-term growth of the agency. Specifically,the building has a gross
misallocation of spaces, lack of insulation, poor thermal comfort,awkward security, compromised
privacy and acoustics and high operating costs.
As part of the Phase I work,the first floor will be reconfigured to accommodate the additional
classrooms. The reconfiguration will require some modification to the common areas in the lower level
and second floor as the existing staircase will need to be relocated. New energy efficient windows will
be added to the east and south facades to provide adequate lighting. Existing interior finish materials
will be replaced with green and sustainable materials to assist in achieving LEED Silver.
Accessibility and life-safety code violations must all be addressed. The restrooms;travel to and
through the facility; means of egress,drinking fountains;turning clearances; storage and allowable
reaches; vertical circulation; and way finding signage must meet the local, State and Federal
accessibility guidelines. Fire-resistive materials and separations will be provided as necessary
throughout the space. Fire sprinkler protection is anticipated throughout the newly renovated early
childhood area. Emergency signage and lighting will be code-compliant.
' Farr& Associates was retained to conduct an in-depth analysis of the existing building
conditions and identify relevant Code issues. These items have been noted above and factored into the
cost of Phase L .The building also contains asbestos in the tile and likely the pipe fittings. YWCA Elgin
has not conducted a full asbestos assessment. However, an allowance is included in the budget for
abatement as the asbestos will likely be disturbed during renovation.

b. Indicate the primary function of the facilities to be provided or improved:
The YWCA Elgin has been located on the corner of Chicago and Villa Street for 110 years.
Throughout our history, education has been a cornerstone in our foundation. Activities have included
teaching English, Family Literacy,focusing on employment opportunities for women,and helping our
youth to build their own strong educational foundation. The current building was built in 1965 as a full
service educational and athletic facility and effectively served girls,women and families in the greater
Elgin Community for nearly two generations. With the construction of the Centre of Elgin pools,the
demand for YWCA services has shifted away from athletics and toward child care, after school care and
a wide variety of English as a Second Language (ESL) and immigrant services. Mindful of the need to
actively position the YWCA Elgin to continue to serve the community in the years to come, in late 2009
the YWCA Elgin Board of Directors initiated a master planning study to determine the feasibility of
renovating its building to accommodate the long-term needs of the community.
Our child care services include 1)a Toddler program that provides child care for toddlers of
parents who are attending English as a Second Language (ESL) Class, 2) a Family Literacy Preschool to
' assist parents in transitioning their children into the local School District System and 3)a Illinois
Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) licensed School Age Child Care (SACC) program.
I Within the SACC program (serving 5-12 years of age), YWCA Elgin offers SACC K-Care which provides
programming for part-day kindergarteners.
. With the assistance of CDBG funds,YWCA Elgin will expand its programming space to include a
total of seven (7)classrooms; one(1)Toddler room, two(2) Family Literacy Preschool classrooms and
four(4)School Age.Child Care(SACC) classrooms. The Toddler program would increase enrollment
from twenty(20)to thirty (30). The Family Literacy Preschool would increase enrollment from 40 to 80.
Finally,the School Age Child Care(SACC)enrollment would increase from 50 to 80 allowing YWCA to
double its current SACC K-Care program. The current SACC K-Care program serves twenty (20)
children. Long-term,YWCA Elgin hopes to position itself to provide Preschool for All targeting at risk
second language learners.

3. Project Benefit: (Attach additional sheets as necessary.)
a. Describe the existing problems or conditions to be corrected by the proposed activity. Identify the persons
affected by these conditions. Explain how the project benefits low and moderate income people.
The existing building design is obsolete with several functional deficiencies that limit the
operational efficiencies and long-term growth of the agency. Specifically, the building has a gross
misallocation of spaces, lack of insulation, poor thermal comfort, awkward security,compromised
privacy and acoustics and high operating costs. The combination of a large number of building
systems at the end of their service lives and the building's functional obsolescence together confirm the
need for a significant building renovation in the near future.
As part of the Phase I work,the first floor will be reconfigured to accommodate the additional
classrooms. The reconfiguration will require some modification to the common areas in the lower level
City of Elgin CDBG Application FY 2012-2013 Application Page 18
and second floor as the existing staircase will need to be relocated. New energy efficient windows will
be added to the east and south facades to provide adequate lighting. Existing interior finish materials
will be replaced with green and sustainable materials to assist in achieving LEED Silver.
Accessibility and life-safety code violations must all be addressed. The restrooms; travel to and

reaches; vertical circulation; and way finding signage must meet the local, State and Federal
accessibility guidelines. Fire-resistive materials and separations will be provided as necessary
throughout the space. Fire sprinkler protection is anticipated throughout the newly renovated early
childhood area. Emergency signage and lighting will be code-compliant.
The YWCA Elgin child care programs are housed at the YWCA Elgin located at 220 East Chicago
Street,-Elgin, IL. The three child care programs to benefit from this renovation are the Toddler Program,
the Family Literacy Program and the School Age Child Care(SACC). This renovation project will allow
us to bring all rooms to licensing standards.
1) Toddler Program - provides child care for toddlers of parents who are attending English as a Second
Language (ESL) Class. Our capacity for is toddlers is 12. We are at capacity with a waiting list of 10
families. These children are all second language learners, and 75% are low income.
2) Family Literacy Preschool- assist parents in transitioning their children into the local School District
System. The children enrolled in our ESL Preschool have at least one parent also enrolled in Adult ESL
class-during the time that they are in Preschool. Once per week, these parents also attend an ESL
Parenting class, and participate in PACT (Parent and Child Together) activities that promote learning
and literacy among families. These family activities are designed to empower immigrant families with
the tools to successfully transition their children into our local schools, equipping them with the parenting
skills, literacy skills, and civic skills to understand the school system and to help their children succeed.
1 These activities include personalized one-on-one transition workshops for parents with children that are
of age to enter Kindergarten, assisting them with paperwork and school readiness needs that promote
successful transitions into Kindergarten. Our capacity for Family Literacy Preschool is 40 and we are at
capacity. The waiting list is capped at 10 families. These children are all second language learners,
75% are low income.
3) DCFS Licensed School Age Child Care (SACC) - serves children five to twelve years of age (5-12.)
Within the SACC program, YWCA Elgin offers SACC K-Care which provides programming for part-day
kindergarteners. The SACC program has a total capacity of fifty(50). There are fifty-four(54) families on
the waiting list for SACC. Thirty (30) of the fifty-four(54) are waiting for the K-Care program. Below is a
summary of YWCA's capacity. 83% of the children live at or below the poverty line and are the most II
susceptible to the affects of an unstable economy.
While most Elgin child care centers offer some subsidy slots,YWCA Elgin has a large
Department of Human Service (DHS)site contract that makes us the largest provider of state subsidy
service for school age child care in the U-46 catchment area. Currently,the waiting list for families
seeking the SACC K-Care is 30 families. These families need child care from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm. Our
programs remain full. The SACC K-Care program is designed to meet the needs of part-day
kindergarteners. The only full day kindergarten program in School District U46 are for children who
have been identified as needing more time in school engaged in the learning process to be successful
(classroom space is very limited.) So we are bridging the gap for low income families. The YWCA SACC
K-Care program provides child care for those students from 10:30am to 6:00pm daily.

b. Describe in quantifiable terms the goals to be achieved by your project during the proposed funding period,
and how the recipients of your services will be benefited or changed.
With the assistance of CDBG funds, YWCA Elgin will expand its programming space to include a
I
total of seven (7) classrooms; one(1)Toddler room,two(2) Family Literacy Preschool classrooms and
four(4) School Age Child Care(SACC) classrooms. The Toddler program would increase enrollment
from twenty (20)to thirty (30). The Family Literacy Preschool would increase enrollment from 40 to 80. i
Finally, the School Age Child Care(SACC) enrollment would increase from 50 to 80 allowing YWCA to I
double its current SACC K-Care program. The current SACC K-Care program serves twenty(20)
children. Long-term,YWCA Elgin hopes to position itself to provide Preschool for All targeting at risk
second language learners.

4. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
Please answer the following questions in the space provided.
A. Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including how the activity will address the
community need you have indicated. Identify whether the activity is new,ongoing, or expanded from
previous years.
Detailed description of the proposed activity:
The YWCA Elgin child care programs are housed at the YWCA Elgin located at 220 East
Chicago Street, Elgin, IL. As previously mentioned, the three child care programs are the Toddler
Program, the Family Literacy Preschool Program and the SACC. This renovation project will
allow us to bring all rooms to licensing standards.
1) Toddler Program - provides child care for toddlers of parents who are attending ESL Class. Our
capacity for is toddlers is 12. We are at capacity with a waiting list of 10 families.
2) Family Literacy Preschool- assist parents in transitioning their children into the local School District
System. The children enrolled in our ESL Preschool have at least one parent also enrolled in Adult
ESL class-during the time that they are in Preschool. Once per week, these parents also attend an
ESL Parenting class, and participate in PACT (Parent and Child Together) activities that promote
learning and literacy among families. These family activities are designed to empower immigrant
families with the tools to successfully transition their children into our local schools, equipping them
with the parenting skills, literacy skills, and civic skills to understand the school system and to help
their children succeed. These activities include personalized one-on-one transition workshops for
parents with children that are of age to enter Kindergarten, assisting them with paperwork and school
readiness needs that promote successful transitions into Kindergarten. Our capacity for Family
Literacy Preschool is 40 and we are at capacity. The waiting list is capped at 10 families.
3) DCFS Licensed School Age Child Care (SACC) - serves children five to twelve years of age (5-12.)
Within the SACC program, YWCA Elgin offers SACC K-Care which provides programming for part-
day kindergarteners. The SACC program has a total capacity of fifty (50). There are fifty-four (54)
families on the waiting list for SACC. Thirty (30) of the fifty-four (54) are waiting for the K-Care
program. Below is a summary of YWCA Elgin's capacity.
How will activity will address the community need you have indicated?
The need for services continues to grow. According to the IFF Early Care and Education in
Illinois report dated August 2011, Elgin has a 68.1% service level in the general care category ages 0-5.
Additionally, it has a 41.5% service level for At Risk Preschool for All.
The US 2010 Census reports that 43.6% of Elgin population is Hispanic or Latino. The
percentage of people 5 years or older speaking Spanish is 40.48°/x. Approximately, 17.5% of the
households have no one age 14 or older that speaks English only or speaks English very well.
Additionally, the population 5 years and older living below the poverty level within the past 12 months that
speaks Spanish at home is 24.7% compared to population speaking English at home at 7.3%. Finally,
approximately 33.8% of the population is living below 200% of the federal poverty level.
According IECAM, there are a total of sixteen (16) licensed child care centers and six licensed-
exempt child care centers in Elgin. These centers provide child care services for ages 6 weeks to twelve
years old. While the centers provide child care, YWCA Elgin is unique in the additional services
provided.
City of Elgin CDBG Application FY 2012-2013 Application Page 26
identify whether the activity is new,ongoing, or expanded from previous years.
The YWCA Elgin has been specializing in child care services for over 35 years. The family
literacy preschool for 21 years and child care has been operating for 40 years; The School Age Child
Care program has been licensed and operating for 25 years. This grant will be used to expand these
services that are in high demand.
B. Identify who will benefit from the proposed activity (e.g. homeless, youth, seniors, disabled, et
cetera). if designed to benefit persons of L/M income, describe the process you will use to identify
these persons and ensure that the activity meets this objective. (An LMl certification form is included
in the RFP Packet).
YWCA Elgin programs serve the neediest of the needy in northern Kane County. YWCA Elgin
serves a large population of Limited English Proficient families. According to the ICCB (Illinois
Community College Board) Adult Education Area Planning Council#509, there are currently 104,294
adults below the secondary reading level in our area that are in need of ESL classes (ICCB FY10 APC
#509 Planning Document). Also with School District U-46, 21.7% of the students during Fiscal Year
FY10 were considered Limited-English Proficient, and are in need of transitional services, many of whom
are on waiting list (SD U-46 Elgin, IL- Illinois District Report Card. 2010). Participants in the YWCA Elgin
program are second language learners, adults who never completed high school in the United States and
their children. Children in these families have little access to early childhood education, and parents in
these families often are unable to pay for child care in order to attend literacy classes themselves. We
provide educational services to families that are at-risk.
The Family Literacy Preschool is continually challenged to work with the non-literate immigrant
and refugee population and the additional support they need in order to better their lives and survive in
our community. YWCA Elgin is working for a population that is not being served by other educational
services in the area. YWCA Elgin is member of the Area Planning Council (APC#509) and have agreed
to target adults and families with the lowest levels of English literacy and education, while other local
agencies target intermediate and advanced English language learners. We are the only ESL preschool
in the APC#509. The APC#509 encompasses the Elgin Community College catchment area. The
YWCA Elgin provides the only ESL Preschool in our district area, and maintains a long waiting list for
families in need of our services.
The YWCA Elgin SACC program serves low-income, at-risk children from diverse backgrounds.
Approximately 83% of the children live at or below the poverty line and are the most susceptible to the
effects of.an unstable economy. Many parents have been displaced from jobs and are taking lower
paying jobs to try to make ends meet as well as working more hours, so that their children are often
home alone after school. Most of the key providers in the area are operating at full capacity with a
waiting list. The key providers are listed below.

While most Elgin child care centers offer some subsidy slots, YWCA Elgin has a large Department of
Human Service (DHS) site contract that makes us the largest provider of state subsidy service for school
age child care in the U-46 catchment area. Currently, the waiting list for seeking full-day SACC K-Care is
30 families. The YWCA Elgin programs remain full. The SACC K-Care program is designed to meet the '
needs of part-day kindergarteners. The only full day kindergarten program in School District U-46 are for
children who have been identified as needing more time in school engaged in the learning process to be
successful (classroom space is very limited.) YWCA Elgin bridges the gap for low income families. The
YWCA Elgin SACC K-Care program provides child care for those students from 10:30am to 6:OOpm
daily.

community organization for more than 110 years. Historically the agency has played a leadership and
collaborative role in the Fox Valley area, working to achieve positive change in the lives of individuals
and the broader community. As advocates and catalysts for change, the YWCA Elgin works to build a
united community with increased racial harmony and safety, where women and children acquire the skills
and resources necessary to build self-sufficient, prosperous lives and manage leadership roles that
positively influence people and the Fox Valley region as a whole. YWCA Elgin is in the heart of
downtown Elgin, IL at 220 East Chicago Street and serves school district U-46 the 2"d largest school
district in Illinois (See attachment 4 for board current officers and board members with terms.)
B. Describe your organization's experience in successfully conducting this type of activity. Identify any
skills,current services, or special accomplishments that demonstrate your capacity for success.
Describe your organization's experience in successfully conducting this type of activity:
The Mission, YWCA Elgin is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and
promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Throughout our 110 year history,
education has been a corner stone in our foundation. There is a common thread of education in
all of the programs provided by our organization.
Identify any skills, current services, or special accomplishments that demonstrate your capacity for
success.
The Family Literacy Preschool is continually challenged to work with the non-literate immigrant
and refugee population and the additional support they need in order to better their lives and survive in
our community. YWCA Elgin is working for a population that is not being served by other educational
services in the area. YWCA Elgin is member of the Area Planning Council (APC #509) and has agreed
to target adults and families with the lowest levels of English literacy and education, while other local
agencies target intermediate and advanced English language learners. We are the only ESL preschool
in the APC #509. The APC #509 encompasses the Elgin Community College catchment area. The
YWCA Elgin provides the only ESL Preschool in our district area, and maintains a long waiting list for
families in need of our services.
The YWCA Elgin SACC program serves low-income, at-risk children from diverse backgrounds.
Approximately 83% of the children live at or below the poverty line and are the most susceptible to the
effects of an unstable economy. Many parents have been displaced from jobs and are taking lower
paying jobs to try to make ends meet as well as working more hours, so that their children are often
home alone after school.
City of Elgin CDBG Application FY 2012-2013 Application Page 29
While most Elgin child care centers offer some subsidy slots, YWCA Elgin has a large
Department of Human Service (DHS) site contract that makes us the largest provider of state subsidy
service for school age child care in the U-46 catchment area. Currently, the waiting list for seeking full-
day SACC K-Care is 30 families. The YWCA Elgin programs remain full. The SACC K-Care program is
designed to.meet the needs of part-day kindergarteners. The only full day kindergarten program in
School District U-46 are for children who have been identified as needing more time in school engaged in
the learning process to be successful (classroom space is very limited.). YWCA Elgin bridges the gap for
low income families. The YWCA Elgin SACC K-Care program provides child care for those students
from 10:30am to 6:00pm daily.
C. Identify the person(s) responsible for program and financial management of the activity. Identify all
other persons involved in this activity noting whether these positions are current or new, pending
this award.
Ann Louis,CFO will be overseeing the financial management of the CDBG funds. Julia A. McClendon,CEO will
be overseeing the project on behalf of the YWCA Elgin (See Attachment 5 for a copy of their job descriptions
and resumes.)
D. Identify any other agencies/partners in this activity and define the roles and responsibilities of these
partners.
Although this application is not for collaborative funding, the YWCA Elgin regularly partners and
cooperates with various organizations in order to best serve our community. In addition to the School
District U-46, Area Planning Council APC#509, and its funding sources (Illinois Community College
Board and YWCA Metro Chicago Child Care Resource and Referral), YWCA receives support from the
following organizations:
Gail Borden Library Works with the YWCA Elgin Family Literacy program to encourage and promote
! library access and use to second language families. The library regularly hosts the
YWCA Elgin families for activities and lessons about obtaining a library card,check
out and return procedures,community events/services available through the library,
technical services,and tours of library areas such as the children's area
Two-Rivers Head Start River Valley Assists qualified parents in SACC program with paying 50%of their co-payments.

I Learning) ! community. Bringing language and all areas of 0-5 together for cohesive objectives
and resources and create a data base for all 0-5 partners.
Northern Illinois Food Bank partners with and provides nutritious after school and summer meals to at-risk
children at the YWCA Elgin
With the assistance of the CDBG Funds YWCA Elgin will expand its programming space to include
a total of seven (7) classrooms; one (1) Toddler room, two (2) Family Literacy Preschool classrooms and
four (4) School Age Child Care (SACC) classrooms. The Toddler program would increase enrollment
from twenty (20) to thirty (30). The Family Literacy Preschool would increase enrollment from forty (40)
to eighty (80). Finally, the School Age Child Care (SACC) enrollment would increase from fifty (50) to
eighty (80) allowing YWCA Elgin to double its current SACC K-Care program. The current SACC K-Care
program serves twenty (20) children. Long-term, YWCA Elgin hopes to position itself to provide

This letter is to express IFF's interest in working with you to structure an appropriate loan for
Elgin YWCA's new child care center. IFF reviewed your agency's 2010 and 2011 audits, as well
as the 2012 budget. Based on the budget, it appears that the agency could support up to
$198,000 in debt at current IFF rates and terms. .
Please note that this letter is not a commitment to lend or a preapproval. Any loan to YWCA
Elgin would be subject to full IFF tnderwribng and approval by IFF's loan committee. IFF did
not review any budget related to the new child care center itself, and evidence of high demand
would be required as part of the underwriting process. IFF has strong interest in helping
nonprofits provide affordable child care to low-income populations, and we wish you success
with the project.
Sincerely, .

The Young Women's Christian
Association, Elgin, Illinois
Elgin; Illinois
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of The Young Women's
Christian Association, Elgin, Illinois (the Association) as of June 30, 2011, and the related
statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Association's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior year
summarized comparative information has been derived from the Association's 2010 financial
statements and, in our report dated October 25, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects;
the financial position of the Association as of June 30, 2011, and the changes in its net assets,
and its cash flows for the year ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accented in the United States of America.

1.
NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
The Young Women's Christian Association, Elgin, Illinois (the Association) is an Illinois
not-for-profit corporation that provides social services for families with an emphasis on
women and children.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Association considers all of its general
savings accounts, money market accounts, and highly liquid investments with an initial
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount the Association expects to collect from
grantor agencies within one year. The Association does not assess any finance charges on
its receivables and no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary.
Receivables are written off when they are deemed uncollectible by management.
Endowment Investments
Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments
in debt securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value in the
Association's statement of financial position. The Association's money market accounts
and certificates of deposit are classified as investments in the attached statement of
financial position. Realized and unrealized investment gains, losses, and income are
reported in the Associations statement of activities. The Association follows
authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
which requires expanded disclosures including the major category for debt and equity
securities in the fair value hierarchy table which are determined on the basis of the nature
and risks of the investments.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents grant funds obligated but not yet earned as of August 31,
2011.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Contributions
Contributions are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently
restricted support depending on the existence andfor nature of any donor restrictions.
Contributions are reported as temporarily restricted support and are then reclassified to
unrestricted net assets upon expiration of the time restriction or when purpose restrictions
are met. Contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless
specifically restricted by the donor.
Net Assets
The Association reports information regarding its financial position and activities
according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net
assets, and permanently restricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets consist of both net
assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations and amounts designated by the
Board for future purposes. Permanently restricted net assets consist of investments in
perpet'.iity the income from which is expendable to support the programs of the
Association.
Functional Expenses
Expenses are charged to each program based on direct expenditures incurred. Support
costs are allocated to programs based on the amount of time spent on each program by
support staff, the amount of space occupied by the program, and the amount of space
utilized in program brochures. The costs of providing the various programs and other
activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities.
Fair Value Measurements
The Association follows authoritative guidance issued by FASB which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value by providing a hierarchy used to
classify the source of the information measuring fair value, and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified
and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are
corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

2. SUMiM[ARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Prior Year Information
The financial statements include certain prior year summarized comparative information
in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to
constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Accordingly; such information should be read in
conjunction with the Association's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010,
from which the summarized information was derived.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current
year presentation.
3. ENDOWMENT INVESTMENTS
Endowment investments include permanently restricted donor gifts and board-designated
funds functioning as endowment funds. Investments consist of money market funds;
certificates of deposit; and mutual funds. The money market funds and certificates of
deposit are valued at cost which approximates fair value. The mutual funds are stated at
fair value as determined by quoted market price.

5. NOTES PAYABLE
Promissory Note
On May 4, 2007, the Association obtained a fixed rate promissory note at 7.54%, secured
by equipment, payable in monthly principal and interest installments of $734 through
May 4, 2012. Interest expense for the year ended Jane 30, 2011 was $878.
Maturities on the note are as follows:
2012 $ 7,723
TOTAL $ 7,723
6. RETIREMENT PLAN
The Association maintains a defined contribution retirement plan with the National Board
of the YWCA of the USA acting as trustee for the plan. To be eligible, employees must
be under 59 years of age and work at least 1,000 hours per year. Participation in the plan
for employees meeting the aforementioned requirements is mandatory after two years of
employment. All contributions are funded on a current basis. The total contribution by
the Association for the year ended June 30,2011 was $39,691.
7. RELATED PARTIES
The Association is related to the YWCA of the USA through common affiliation. The
Association is also a regional affiliate of the YWCA Great Lakes Alliance. The
Association incurred dues to the YWCA Great Lakes Alliance in the amount of$8,103
during the year ended June 30, 2011.
8. TAX EXEMPT STATUS
The Association is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code and similar provisions for state tax law. Accordingly, no provision for
income tax expense is included in the accompanying financial statements.
The Association follows authoritative guidance issued by FASB that clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements
and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon
examination. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has
not been met. This guidance also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, disclosure, and transition.

THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION,ELGIN,ILLINOIS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
8. TAX EXEMPT STATUS (Continued)
The Association conducts business solely in the U.S. and, as a result, files information
returns for U.S. and Illinois. In the normal course of business, the Association is subject
to examination by taxing authorities. The Association's information returns for years
subsequent to fiscal 2007 are open, by statute, for review by authorities. However, at
present, there are no ongoing income tax audits or unresolved disputes with the various
tax authorities that the Association currently files or has filed with.
9. CONTINGENCIES
The Association receives significant financial assistance from several governmental
agencies in the form of grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs
generally requires compliance with terms and conditions specified in the grant
agreements and are subject to audit by grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting
from such audits could become a liability to the Association. However, management
believes that any such disallowed claims would not have a material effect on the financial
statements or the overall financial position of the Association as of June 30, 2011.
10. EINrDO'vNI LENT
The Association's endowment consists of both donor-restricted and board-designated
endowment funds. As required by accounting standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported
based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
The Board of Directors of the Association has interpreted the Uniform Prudent
Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the
historic dollar value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted
endowment funds, absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this
interpretation, the Association classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original
value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent
gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment
made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time
the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted
endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as
temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the
Association in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA.

ASSOCIATION, ELGIN, ILLINOIS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
10. ENDOWMENT(Continued)
The Association has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that
attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment
while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. The endowment
assets are invested in accordance with predetermined asset allocation and performance
benchmarks. To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Association relies on a
total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital
appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The
Association's spending policy provides that only the income from endowments may be
used according to donor-imposed restrictions.
