Mission DescriptionSEE SCHEDULE OBet Tzedek provides free legal assistance to thousands of people who would otherwise be denied access to the legal system underpinning our democracy.Although Bet Tzedek remains intent on assuring that the legal needs of the Jewish poor are met, we recognize that it is our duty to serve the entire community. For this reason, Bet Tzedek has always provided assistance to all eligible needy residents of Los Angeles County, regardless of their racial, religious or ethnic background.Indeed, at The House of Justice, we believe that all of the groups in our wonderfully diverse society are strengthened when bridges are built that bring us together in a common, just cause. For the people who are Bet Tzedek -- the lawyers and non-lawyers, staff members and volunteers, contributors and clients -- our mission, therefore, is to pursue equal justice for all.MissionDescription

Part IV, Line 2b:The client trust account is a part of the organizations normal operations. The account includes funds that are held in trust on behalf of a client for the purposes of rendering legal services.
Part V, Line 4:The Organization 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. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the Organization must hold in perpetuity or for a donor-specified period(s) as well as board-designated funds. Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Trustees, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce total returns (net of inflation) in excess of the endowment spend-out rate, thus allowing for real growth of endowment assets while assuming a moderate level of investment risk.Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:
PART X - FIN 48 FOOTNOTE The Organization is exempt from Federal income and California franchise taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and the corresponding sections of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic No. 740, "Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") (formerly FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109"), the Organization recognizes the impact of tax positions in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. To date, the Organization has not recorded any uncertain tax positions. During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions and did not note any matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have an effect on its tax-exempt status.
