Part IV, Line 2b:The Cleveland Development Foundation (CDF) acts in the role of fiscal agent for early stage, community-based concepts without a formal corporate structure, whose purpose is consistent with the scope of the CDF. Each early stage concept is provided with a set of formal operating procedures. The CDF does not receive compensation for its duties in connection with any fiscal agent agreements. During 2024, CDF received $2,500 from organizations for which CDF acts as fiscal agent.
Part X, Line 2:The Cleveland Development Foundation ("CDF") adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, CDF may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, management has evaluated the organization's tax positions and has concluded that the organization has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with provisions of this guidance.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Salaries of CDF staff have been subjected to review by a compensation committee created by its parent, Greater Cleveland Partnership. The committee's responsibilities include approving compensation for employees of the organization including the President/CEO. An annual performance evaluation process is conducted for all employees. Compensation for all employees is evaluated against the market. The compensation committee utilizes the resources of an independent consulting firm in the evaluation process to provide local and national compensation comparable data. The results of the latest survey (GCP Executive Compensation Study - February 2024) provided that direct pay and indirect pay programs reflect market medians. All compensation and benefits information reported on this return is paid by the Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP) to employees of that organization who split their time among GCP and several related organizations. Allocations have been made between the filing organization and two related organizations to, more accurately, report compensation and benefit expenses applicable to each organization.
