ACTION
Approve/Approve with changes/Not approve the Community Development
REQUESTED:
Advisory Committee recommendation to substantially amend the Fiscal Year
2022, Fiscal Year 2023, and Fiscal Year 2024 CDBG Annual Action Plans and
reallocate those funds toward Relief Nursery to purchase property.
ISSUE
Relief Nursery has requested Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
STATEMENT:
funds to purchase property adjacent to their Springfield site to increase program
capacity. The Community Development Advisory Committee considered this
request through the City's CDBG Citizen Participation Plan process and is
recommending that Council support the request. This would require substantially
amending CDBG Annual Action Plans in order to reallocate funds from other
activities.

DISCUSSION/
Relief Nursery is requesting CDBG funds to purchase property adjacent to their
FINANCIAL
Springfield site to increase program capacity. They are aiming to construct
IMPACT:
additional office, classroom space, and respite child-care space in order to serve
more low-income families in Springfield. The total amount needed to fulfill this
request, including purchasing the property and City staff time to carry this out,
including conduct an Environmental Assessment, is $225,000.
There are CDBG funds available that have been allocated in previous years that
could be used toward this project. In addition, the Action Plan approved for
FY2024 has CDBG funds that the CDAC would like to reallocate toward this
project.
Per the City's Citizen Participation Plan, the Register Guard published notice of
the substantial amendment and the Community Development Advisory
Committee held a public hearing on May 31, 2023. One comment was submitted
in support of the efforts of the CDAC to distribute these funds for the benefit of
less advantaged community members.
City staff support fully funding this request by Relief Nursery. The
recommended reallocation of funds would still allow those other projects to
continue as needed. This reallocation would further help the City spend down its
CDBG funds in a timely manner.

AMENDMENTS
ISSUE: Relief Nursery has requested Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
to purchase property adjacent to their Springfield site to increase program capacity. The
Community Development Advisory Committee considered this request through the City's
CDBG Citizen Participation Plan process and is recommending that Council support the
request. This would require substantially amending CDBG Annual Action Plans in order to
reallocate funds from other activities.
COUNCIL GOALS/
MANDATE:
Encourage Economic Development and Revitalization through Community Partnerships
BACKGROUND:
Springfield did not have a CDBG Request for Proposals process this year
As shared in the December 12, 2022 Communication Packet Memo, Springfield did not solicit
for additional projects in 2023 through a CDBG Request for Proposals. The City's CDBG
entitlement allocation in recent years has stagnated or been reduced while existing CDBG
projects are seeing significant cost increases. At the time, staff anticipated that the FY 2024
CDBG allocation would only provide enough CDBG funds to fully fund existing programs
supported by Council at anticipated spending amounts.
By the time the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) met in March to hold a
public hearing on the draft FY 2024 CDBG Action Plan, some loans had been repaid, and the
City had an additional $40,435 in CDBG funds it had not anticipated. The CDAC recommended
that amount be added to the Home Repair Program's allocation rather than be left unallocated.
Relief Nursery requested CDBG funds to support their project outside of a formal process
At the February 8 and March 22 public hearings held by the Community Development Advisory
Committee, Kelly Sutherland, Executive Director of Relief Nursery, testified that their
organization was seeing increased demand, particularly at their Springfield site, and were in
need of expanding their space in order to accommodate the demand. Kelly mentioned that Relief
Nursery was in the process of looking to acquire land for this purpose and would be requesting
CDBG funds to help purchase that land.
MEMORANDUM 6/14/20236/1''o%3 Page 2
On April 17, the Relief Nursery sent a letter to the Mayor (Attachment 3), requesting the City
consider using CDBG funds to help them purchase land adjacent to their site in order to expand.
Council leadership directed staff to consider this request.
A proposed Substantial Amendment to prior year CDBG Action Plans was publicized and went
through a public process for consideration
As part of the Citizen Participation Plan through the Eugene -Springfield Consolidated Plan,
there are procedures to follow when the City is considering amending a CDBG Action Plan.
Because the Relief Nursery project had not previously been funded and would need CDBG
funds to be reallocated from other activities in CDBG Action Plans, a substantial amendment
would be triggered. As part of our substantial amendment process:
The City published a legal notice in the Register Guard that the City was considering
funding this request and would be reallocating funds from other CDBG Action Plans
The substantial amendment was made public on the SpringfieldOregonSpeaks website
for 30 days for the public to comment.
o Mike Koivula, prior member of the CDAC and liaison from the Planning
Commission, wrote in support of the efforts of the CDAC to distribute these
funds for the benefit of less advantaged community members.
The CDAC held a public hearing on May 31St to consider any public comment on the
proposed changes.
o Kelly Sutherland, Executive Director of Relief Nursery, spoke, summarizing the
increased demand from local families and how this project would help Relief
Nursery expand their classrooms and office space and help more families.
One member of the Community Development Advisory Committee did question whether it was
equitable to consider this ad hoc request for funds, given that other nonprofits may not have
known that they could submit a letter requesting CDBG funds for a project outside of a formal
Request for Proposals.
Relief Nursery submitted a CDBG proposal for their project which was evaluated by the
Community Development Advisory Committee
As part of the request for funding, Relief Nursery was asked to submit a proposal (Attachments
4 and 5) using the City's CDBG application. That proposal consists of five sections, evaluated
on a score of 1 — 5 (5 = Exceptional, 3 = Acceptable, 1 = Unacceptable). Relief Nursery's
application and the CDAC's evaluation is summarized below:
Request by Relief Nursery for up to $200,000 to purchase land adjacent to their facility in

Population
100% of Relief Nursery's client population is at or below
4.5
Served
80% area median income. All of their families are at high
risk for child abuse or neglect; many are in crisis when they
contact Relief Nursery.
Project
Relief Nursery currently has a conditional agreement with
4.0
Readiness
the property owner to purchase the property. Relief
Nursery also had a Development Initiation Meeting with
Springfield staff on May 4 to discuss plans and
requirements for the site. The aim would be to purchase the
property by the end of the calendar year given timing for
the Environmental Review process required by the US
Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Financing
Relief Nursery does not currently have other funding
3.8
committed; this purchase would help leverage other
support. The total cost for new construction of a project
would be about $3.3 million. Other sources of funding
identified for the project include a state funding request for
Early Childhood Facilities, a capital campaign, Foundation
grants, donations, and fund-raising activities. Relief
Nursery has plans to use modular buildings to reduce the
cost if other financing is unsuccessful.
Project
The Executive Director, in consultation with the Board of
3.8
Team
Directors, will oversee the property purchase, design
phases of the project, and selection of the General
Contractor. Both of Relief Nursery's Eugene and
Springfield facilities are owned outright, and were designed
and built entirely with community donations, fund-raising
efforts, and foundation grants.
The Relief Nursery's initial letter of request to Council asked for $150,000 to purchase property.
An appraisal later determined the property to be worth $200,000. With an estimate of $25,000 to
conduct the HUD environmental review given the complicated requirements for this type of
project and the staff time involved, City staff estimate $225,000 in CDBG funds would be
needed to fully support the use of CDBG funds to purchase property for this request.
The CDAC recommends Council fully support Relief Nursery's request for funding to purchase
land and recommends Council reallocate funds that may otherwise not be spent in FY2024
The CDAC voted in support of recommending that Council fully support Relief Nursery's
request, including the additional funding for staff time to carry out HUD requirements. The
CDAC looked at CDBG funds that were allocated in prior years to determine whether any funds
would potentially not be spent in FY2024. The CDAC ultimately voted in favor of
recommending that Council substantially amend the following CDBG Action Plans in order to
reallocate a total of $225,000 toward the Relief Nursery project:

some with other funding sources. This reallocation would also help the City spend down its
CDBG funds in a timely manner.

The importance of providing special education support for these children cannot be
overstated. Children who receive early childhood special education services during
formative preschool years require fewer special services later in life. They are far
more likely to enter the school system able to learn, which increase the child's
chances for success and reduces the burden on the school system, where special
education services are most costly.
Relief Nursery has also has expanded our In -Home Safety and Reunification Services
(ISRS) and Healthy Families programs in Springfield. The ISRS program provides for
the immediate safety of children at risk of maltreatment by managing the safety
threats within the family, or when children have been placed in protective care, to
help them return home. Healthy Families provides home -visiting for strengthening
families and improving the health status of women and children with a variety of risk
factors.
Relief Nursery has shared this information with the Community Development
Advisory Committee during a public hearing. While we recognize there is not a
CDBG RFP this year, we respectfully request the City consider reallocating funds
toward this project, based on community need.
Additionally, Relief Nursery has a Development Initiation Meeting (DIM) scheduled
on May 4th with Springfield Development and Public Works. This meeting will allow
us to continue moving forward with site planning and fundraising efforts for the
construction of the auxiliary site.
Relief Nursery would be pleased to provide additional information or present public
testimony to the Springfield City Council to advocate for this request.
Sincerely,

1. Project Summary Form (See Cover Attachment)
2. Project Description
• The need your project will address:
Relief Nursery is in great need of additional office and classroom space for our many programs
and services. Relief Nursery serves 1,000 low-income families annually in Lane County. Both
our Springfield and Eugene sites are filled to capacity, and at any given time we have as many
as 200 families on our waiting list. The addition of new programs to meet the increased needs
and growing number of our children and families requiring Relief Nursery services (Preschool
Promise; Navigator; Native Outreach; ISRS; additional parenting groups and respite child care)
and the expansion of our Therapeutic Early Childhood Program and Healthy Families program
has taxed our Springfield facility to the limit.
• How will your project address the identified need or problem:
For the past two years we have been exploring options for additional on- or off-site space,
so that we can provide more services and enhanced services for children and parents in our
core programs (Therapeutic Early Childhood Program and Outreach). Ideally, a long-term
solution would involve expanding our existing Springfield site to allow for additional
classrooms, teachers, mental health services, counselors and special education services.
Without this physical expansion, we are extremely limited in the extent to which we can
expand our services to meet the growing need in the community.
After considerable study and planning we have located a vacant lot, adjacent to our
Springfield nursery, suitable to construct a facility with offices, classrooms, and respite
child-care space sufficient to meet the needs of our expanding therapeutic child abuse and
neglect prevention programs. Relief Nursery has a signed a conditional agreement to
purchase the property located at 810 South 42nd Street in Springfield.
Relief Nursery seeks funding from Springfield CDBG pursuant to completing the purchase
of this property for construction of the proposed expansion. Acquisition of this property
will leverage other funding opportunities for the project.
• The way in which your project will have a long-term impact on the need or problem being
addressed:
This project replaces an earlier plan to secure temporary rental space, with a permanent,
long-term resolution of the issue of providing space for staff, which in turn will allow us to
PAGE 1 OF 9
Springfield CDBG 2023 Relief Nursery, Inc.
expand our service capacity at the site. This project directly addresses an urgent need, and
represents a definitive step in moving us towards a permanent resolution.
• Please attach a map showing the project's location.
See attached map, following this narrative.
3. Population Served
• How will your project meet at least one of the national objectives outlined in Section III?
This project addresses the first and third listed National Objectives:
• Benefit to low- and moderate -income persons: One hundred percent of Relief Nursery's
client population qualify as "low" to "extremely low" income families under current HUD
standards for AMI levels; additionally, up to 80% of our population have incomes actually
below the FPL. Relief Nursery programs are in great demand in the community, with some
families waiting weeks or months for an opening in one of our classrooms for their child.
Being able to house additional staff in new space will allow us to expand the number of
available program slots, serve more children and their families, and reduce waiting times
for families in need.
• Meet a need having particular urgency: This project jointly addresses an urgency both
for our families and for our agency. All of our families are at high risk for child abuse or
neglect; many are in crisis when they contact us. Reducing this risk and resolving these
crises are a matter of being able to quickly reduce stressors for the family, and get them
enrolled and fully participating in services.
The proposed project addresses the pressing need:
• to maintain staffing levels needed to provide essential services needed by our families, while
housing staff under the conditions and protocols needed to keep them healthy and safe;
• to increase staffing in key programs, allowing us to serve more children in our programs,
and reduce waiting times for families in urgent need of our support.
This project represents a practical, long-term solution to the problem of meeting the
increased need, across programs, for services in the Springfield community.
• Estimates of the total number of persons to be served by the project and the number of low and
moderate income persons to be served by the project.
Relief Nursery directly serves over 1000 children and their families -- about 3,000 individuals,
including parents, each year. About half these families are served through our Springfield
facility. This project therefore has the potential to benefit up to 1500 persons, each year, for
PAGE 2 OF 9
Springfield CDBG 2023 Relief Nursery, Inc.
many years going forward. Every person served by this project is low-income. One hundred
percent of Relief Nursery families are "low-income", as defined by HUD AMI standards.
• The population and characteristics of the slum or blighted area that will be served (if applicable):
Not applicable to this project.
• How the project will ensure that moderate -income persons do not benefit to the exclusion of
low-income persons:
In order to be eligible for Relief Nursery services a family must be "low-income", as defined
by HUD AMI standards. Income information is gathered from each family at time of intake,
via a Confidential Income Statement (CIS) provided by the USDA for our Child and Adult
Care Food Program, which is administered in the state by the Oregon Department of
Education. The information provided on these forms is checked against HUD -AMI and FPL
charts which are updated annually. In this way we are able to verify that 100% of Relief
Nursery families fit the HUD AMI definition, therefore every client family benefitting from
this project will be low income.
• The methods used to determine the project benefit and documentation of the sources used:
For more than 47 years Relief Nursery has developed and maintained a services model
which has enabled us to successfully carry out this mission. Moreover, we are sought out
as a leader in this field, and our model has been successfully adopted and replicated in
multiple communities around the state. We participate in continual internal evaluation,
periodic external evaluation (statewide, in conjunction with Oregon Association of Relief
Nurseries), and periodic audits by various contractors and funders including: Oregon Early
Learning Division; Oregon Department of Human Services; Lane County Human Services
Commission (connected with CDBG funding); United Way; VOCA; USDA/CACFP; and several
others. These various review processes confirm that we are proficient at identifying the
needs of our population and addressing them in an effective manner. Our most recent
HSC/CDBG program and fiscal audit was successfully completed on May 17, 2023.
4. Project Readiness
• A detailed work plan and time -line, including the anticipated start date and completion date for
the project, and a list of tasks with estimated start and completion dates for each task:
(NB: This proposal and request for funding concerns the property acquisition phase of the
project which and is less than 10% of the overall project cost. Specific timing of subsequent
project phases is dependent on first securing the land for the expansion, and can only be
roughly estimated at this time. Relief Nursery has invested considerable time and resources
to date for this project.)
PAGE 3 of 9
Springfield CDBG 2023 Relief Nursery, Inc.
• We have located a suitable site for expansion construction, and have initiated the
process for purchase of the site: Relief Nursery has a contingent agreement to
purchase the property located at 810 South 42nd Street in Springfield and is
requesting up to $200,000 for the purchase of the land.
• We participated in a City of Springfield Development & Public Works Development
Initiation Meeting (DIM) on May 4, 2023.
• We have completed a property appraisal and are currently engaged in the Phase 1 ESA
environmental survey (with HUD requirements).
•Our expansion project is included in the HB3005 request for state funds as a viable
project (see attached Shovel Ready Child Care & Preschool Facilities). This fund will
establish an Early Childhood Facilities Fund in statute and will be supported by the
sale of state bonds. Recent revenue forecasts have been promising for the
establishment of this fund by the end of the current legislative session, in June 2023.
Having the property in -hand would further leverage our position for receiving this
state funding.
• Once Relief Nursery is selected for funding at the end of June 2023, the grant will be
financed through the issuance of bonds and funds are made available when the
bonds are sold. Many factors impact the timing of the sales, however, many occur
in the last 6 months of the biennium. Following this timeline, funds may become
available in late 2024, early 2025.
• December 2023 property acquisition complete
•January 2024, begin architectural planning, select and schedule a General Contractor
for site preparation.
• Site preparation and foundation work TBD based on timing of funding.
• A description of the agency's readiness to proceed with the project, including when potential sources
of funding and/or additional staff will be secured. Also, if the purchase of property is involved, please
describe how you will comply with the Uniform Relocation Act (as noted in Section III):
For the past year Relief Nursery has been working with Springfield Community
Development Analyst Erin Fifield, to assure that the project is conducted in compliance with
applicable regulations. We are looking toward Springfield CDBG as a primary funder for the
purchase of the property, and the state Early Childhood Facilities Fund as the primary
funder for the building, with any balance to be supplied from Relief Nursery donations and
fund-raising activities.
• A description of any land use processes (such as a zone change or a conditional use permit) the
project will require and what steps, if any, have been taken to address these issues.
No changes to zoning or conditional use permits will be required for this project.
5. Financing
• A completed Budget Form (See Attachment — Form B) showing secured and potential sources of
PAGE 4 of 9
Springfield CDBG 2023 Relief Nursery, Inc.
funding, including other federal and state grants and loans, monetary donations, in-kind
contributions, volunteer labor, and donation of materials and supplies (attach additional sheets if
necessary). Volunteer labor should be included under 'Private Funds'. Attach letters of funding
commitment from sources, if available.
See attached Budget Form B.
• A description whether you are requesting funds as a loan vs. a grant;
o If requesting funds as a loan, outline your repayment terms.
o If requesting funds as a grant, explain why you are not able to take on a loan.
We are requesting funds in the form of a grant. Relief Nursery is a non-profit [501(c)(3)]
agency. As a matter of long-standing policy for maintaining fiscal stability, we do not take
on debt. Taking on a loan would not be consistent with that policy.
• A description of the assumptions used to determine the total project cost and the operating
budget, including the sources consulted and how costs were determined.
We have made a conditional offer for the purchase of property adjacent to our Springfield
facility. We have engaged the City of Springfield, Development & Public Works and
Community Development Advisory Committee regarding the project and are working with
the City of Springfield on CDBG or other city funding opportunities for the purchase of the
property. We have surveyed the property with the architects of our current Springfield facility
and, alternatively, are working with a modular design firm. Time line and cost efficiencies,
and availability of funding will inform the new construction vs. modular facility decision.
The property cost is up to $200,000 (this project). New construction of a 4,000 sq. ft.
building is estimated at approximately $2.2 million, with design fees, permit fees, system
development charges, utility connection, geotech and surveys at approximately $745,000.
Additionally, we are exploring the option of using a modular structure. Estimates for this
option are $539,590 for a 2,688 sq. ft. structure, plus $450,000 for site preparation and
foundation work (see attached).
• A brief description of your agency's plan for funding the project after the first year, if applicable:
Our plan during and after the first year is to secure Early Childhood Facilities Fund
• A statement regarding your agency's ability to proceed with the project without your requested
CDBG funds, or with a CDBG award less than your requested amount:
CDBG funds are critical in two crucial areas: 1) allowing us to move forward quickly with
the property acquisition phase of the project and into the construction planning phase, and
2) as leverage for support from other funders. Funding from CDBG would enhance our
PAGE 5 of 9
Springfield CDBG 2023 Relief Nursery, Inc.
chances of obtaining the full requested funding from the Oregon Early Childhood Facilities
Fund state bonds, as well as from private foundations.
Our need for additional space is pressing and Relief Nursery has already invested
considerable time and resources planning and preparing for this project over the past year.
It is our intent to proceed with this project. In the absence of state Child Care Facilities
Funding for construction costs, plan B for the project is to move forward as a phased
project. One option being evaluated is to switch to a modular structure as opposed to new
construction, a more economical course which could possibly address our immediate
needs. Another option would be to redirect some HRSA funds currently targeted to
expansion of our Eugene site, and apply them to the Springfield expansion. Additionally,
we have identified funders who specifically support capital projects (e.g., the Sunderland
Foundation) which we intend to approach for funding for the project. Having CDBG funds
in -hand would enhance our foundation proposals, but we will pursue those proposals,
regardless. Additional funding will be raised through a capital campaign, grant writing,
donations, and fund-raising activities.
Relief Nursery has a proven track record with similar projects. Our 13,500 sq. ft. Eugene
facility and our 14,000 sq. ft. Springfield facility were purchased outright, and are owned
by Relief Nursery, debt free. We are confident in our ability to conduct the Springfield
expansion project in a similar manner. CDBG funds would enable us to move forward more
rapidly with property acquisition part of the project. The more quickly we can move this
project forward, the sooner we can begin to accommodate additional children and families
in the community who need our services.
• For construction projects, please provide a detailed pro forma.

• The agency's background, mission, and service history:
Relief Nursery was founded in 1976, the result of a collaborative community effort to address
the issue of child abuse and neglect, and to help keep families together. Initially serving 8-10
families in donated space, we were quickly recognized as a community resource, and
acquired a lengthy list of families waiting for services. Since that time we have developed a
comprehensive family services model, and operate two full service sites (Eugene, since 1993;
Springfield, since 2013), and serve more than 1000 Lane County children and their families
each year. Families we serve are among the highest risk in the community, yet after one year
of Relief Nursery services, fewer than 5% of the children require reports of abuse or neglect
to DHS, and fewer than 4% require foster care placement. Relief Nursery is an acknowledged
authority on early childhood education and therapeutic intervention, and has presented on
early childhood topics nationally and internationally. Our service model has been replicated
at 46 sites in Oregon, and through the Oregon Association of Relief Nurseries is a part of
Oregon's continuum of care. Our mission:
"Relief Nursery's mission is to prevent the cycle of child abuse and neglect by
early intervention that focuses on building successful and resilient children,
strengthening parents, and preserving families."
• A brief description of the agency's financial stability as it pertains to the agency's capacity
to successfully complete the project, including a brief financial history and primary funding
sources.
The City may request copies of the agency's financial audit or review for the last two years.
Relief Nursery, Inc. is governed by a Board of Directors which meets monthly to
manage the general policies and procedures for accomplishing the Nursery's mission.
Administration and management of the day-to-day affairs of the agency are under
the direction of the Executive Director. Since receiving its first federal grant in 1985,
Relief Nursery has operated in compliance with a number of federal, state, and local
government granting agencies, meeting all documentation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements. Relief Nursery complies with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Director of Budget and Finance issues a report and balance statement
to the Board of Directors at each of their monthly meetings. Annually, an
independent audit is conducted in accordance with standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States, and the provisions of Office Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, "Audits of Institutions of Higher Education and
Other Nonprofit Institutions."
Our Budget and Finance Manager supervises internal controls, financial reporting,
maintenance and segregation of funding streams, and the annual budgeting process
according to procedures detailed in the Relief Nursery Accounting Policies and
PAGE 7 OF 9
Springfield CDBG 2023 Relief Nursery, Inc.
Procedures Manual. A copy of this manual is available for review, upon request.
Annual budgets are prepared by the Director of Budget and Finance in collaboration
with the Executive Director and senior administrative staff. The proposed budget is
then submitted to the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors for review, and
amended as necessary. The final budget draft approved by the Committee is then
presented to the full Board for approval and adoption at the June Board of Directors
meeting.
Relief Nursery maintains fiscal stability by securing a broad base of financial support,
including government contracts, foundation grants, business support, fund raising
events, and individual donations from hundreds of community members. At the
present time Relief Nursery maintains a Building Fund to ensure the future
maintenance of its 13,500 square foot Eugene facility and 14,000 square foot
Springfield facility and an Endowment Fund held by the Oregon Community
Foundation from which the Nursery is eligible to draw 4% annually for operations.
• A list of key personnel that will be assigned to this project and their job titles and
qualifications. Include the FTE hours each person will dedicate to the project:
• Kelly Sutherland, as Executive Director, will oversee the property purchase, design
phases of the project, and selection of the General Contractor, in consultation
with our Board of Directors. Est. 0.20 - 0.25 FTE, through December 31, 2023.
• Proof of the agency's status as a private non-profit, public non-profit, or governmental agency.
Please see attached IRS 501(c)(3) form.
• Most recent program financial audit or review pursuant to 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F (If your
agency received an amount of $750,000.00 or more in federal funding, a financial audit is
required. If your agency received an amount less than $750,000.00 in federal funding,
please provide a copy of your most recent financial review.)
We do not receive $750,000 or more in federal funding. A copy of the audit of our
most recently completed fiscal year (July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022) is attached to this
proposal.
• A description of the agency's administrative capacity to complete the project, including its
experience in implementing and managing activities similar to the proposed project.
Relief Nursery has a long history of completing projects under a variety of federal,
state, and local funders. We manage, and have managed multi-year projects under
SAMHSA; US Dept. of Education; NCCAN; Oregon -DHS; Oregon Early Learning
Division; and many others. Both our 13,500 sq.ft. Eugene facility and our 14,000
sq.ft. Springfield facility are owned outright, and were designed and built entirely
PAGE 8 OF 9
Springfield CDBG 2023 Relief Nursery, Inc.
with the support of community donations, fund-raising efforts, and foundation
grants. Additionally, we have successfully managed similar CDBG projects, including
reflooring classrooms in our Eugene site; reroofing the site; reinstalling and
upgrading the HVAC system, and, most recently, completing an anti -theft and
vandalism security enclosure for the buses at our Springfield site.
• A description of neighborhood and/or community support for the project.
The community is very supportive of Relief Nursery. Both our Springfield and Eugene
facilities were built entirely with community donations and foundation grants.
Springfield City council and Planning Departments greatly facilitated the acquisition
of the land for our existing Springfield site, and the permitting and inspection
processes necessary to get construction under way. When the Springfield site was
announced, community response was overwhelmingly positive:
"I think the building's location is outstanding .... our community has a clear need
for the services they provide. Going through the public process, we've not heard
one negative comment about the building proposal. To me, it's going to be a big
win-win for the city of Springfield." [Springfield Mayor Sid Leiken]
"As a person who cares deeply for children, I will do whatever it takes to prevent
child abuse. As the Superintendent of Springfield Public Schools, I know that
when a child is nurtured, cared for, and read to, they come to school ready to
learn. Relief Nursery ensures our students come to school ready to learn. I am
proud to play a small part in supporting this incredible organization." [Nancy
Golden Superintendent Springfield Public Schools]
• A description of the agency's familiarity with meeting the federal requirements listed in
Section VII and/or the agency's plan for ensuring that these requirements are satisfied.
Since 1995 Relief Nursery has been a provider of Therapeutic Early Childhood
Program, and in-home Parenting Education Services under combined grants from
Eugene and Springfield CDBG and Lane Human Services Commission. We are
intimately acquainted with the requirements for receiving CDBG funding, and have
maintained these requirements satisfactorily for 28 years. Data from our
participation in these programs is maintained both in our in-house tracking systems,
and also entered into the HMIS system (WellSky) used by the County. We are audited
annually by representatives from HSC and CDBG (most recently on 05/17/23), have
never incurred any serious findings, and consistently achieve the highest scores on
our tracking, data entry, and record-keeping completeness and accuracy. In addition,
over the past 25 years we have successfully implemented multiple projects
supported by CDBG funding at our Springfield and Eugene sites.

in your application for recognition of exemption, we have determined you are exempt
from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Because you are a newly created organization, we are not now making a final
determination of your foundation status under section 509(a) of the Code. However,
we have determined that you can reasonably be expected to be a publicly supported
organization described in section 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
Accordingly, you will be treated as a publicly supported organization, and not
as a private foundation, during an advance ruling period. This advance ruling period
begins on the date of your inception and ends on the date shown above.
. Within 90 days after the end of your advance ruling period, you must submit to
us information needed to determine whether you have met the requirements of the
applicable support test during the advance ruling period. If you establish that you
have been a publicly supported organization, you will be classified as a section
509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) organization as long as you continue to meet the requirements
of the applicable support test. If you do not meet the public support requirements
during the advance ruling period, you will be classified as a private foundation for
future periods. Also, if you are classified as a private foundation, you will be
treated as a private foundation from the date of your inception for purposes of
sections 507(d) and 4940.
Grantors and donors may rely on the determination that you are not a private
foundation until 90 days after the end of your advance ruling period. If you submit
the required information within the 90 days, grantors and donors may continue to
rely on the advance determination until the Service makes a final determination of
your foundation. status. However, if notice that you will no longer be treated as a
section 509(x)(1) organization is published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin,
grantors and donors may not rely on this determination after the date of such
publication. Also, a grantor or donor may not rely on this determination if he or
she was in part responsible for, or was aware of, the act or failure to act that
resulted in your loss of section 500: a)(1) status, or acquired knowledge that
the Internal Revenue Service had given notice that you would be removed from
classification as a section 503(a)(1) organization.

If your sources of support, or your purposes, character, or method of operation
change, please let us know so we can consider the effect of the change on your
exempt status and foundation status. Also, .you should inform us of all changes in
your name or address.
Generally, you are not liable for social security (FICA) taxes unless you file
a waiver of exemption certificate as provided in the Federal Insurance Contributions
Act. If you have paid FICA taxes without filing the r.•aiver, you should call us. You
are not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA).
Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the excise
taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, you are not automatically exempt from
other Federal excise taxes. If you have any questions about excise, employment, or
other Federal taxes, please let us know.
Donors may deduct contributions to you as provided in section 170 of the Code
Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to you or for your use are
deductible for Federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable
provisions of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the Code.
You are required to file Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income
Tax, only if your gross receipts each year are normally more than $10,000. If a
return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the
end of your annual accounting period. The law imposes a penalty of $10 a day, up to
a maximum of $5,000, when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause
for the delay.
You are not required to file Federal income tax returns unless you are subject
to the tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of the Code. If you are
subject to this tax, you must file an income tax return on Form 990—T. In this
letter, we are not determining whether any of your present or proposed activities
are unrelated trade or business as defined in section 513 of the Code.

an employer identification number was not entered on your application, a number will
be assigned to you and you will be advised of it. Please use that number on all
returns you file and in all correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service.
Because this letter could help resolve any questions about your exempt status
and foundation status, you should keep it in your permanent records.
If you have any questions, please contact the person whose name and telephone
number are shown in the heading of this letter.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors
Relief Nursery, Inc.
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Relief Nursery, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which
comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related
statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the
related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Relief Nursery, Inc. as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the changes of their net
assets and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
required to be independent of Relief Nursery, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities ofManagementfor the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Relief Nursery,
Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements
are available to be issued.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of Relief Nursery, Inc.'s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion
is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about Relief Nursery, Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern for
a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal
control—related matters that we identified during the audit.

Relief Nursery, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of operations
Relief Nursery, Inc. (Relief Nursery) is an Oregon not-for-profit child abuse and neglect prevention
agency. Nationally recognized, Relief Nursery, Inc. stops the cycle of child abuse and neglect with its
blend of therapeutic early childhood services and comprehensive family support, including alcohol and
drug recovery support services to low income families primarily in Lane County. Relief Nursery receives
grant funding from a variety of sources including: federal, state and local government agencies; other not-
for-profit organizations; and individual and corporate donors.
Relief Nursery is a corporation, organized under the provisions of the not-for-profit corporation laws of the
State of Oregon, and is exempt from federal income tax as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements of Relief Nursery have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of presentation
Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) Financial Statements of Not -for -Profit Entities. Relief Nursery is required to report
information regarding its financial position and activities according to two classes of net assets: net assets
with donor restrictions and net assets without donor restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of Relief Nursery
and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:
Net Assets with Donor Restrictions — The part of net assets of Relief Nursery that is subject to donor -
imposed restrictions (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants). Net
assets with donor restrictions are expected to be released from restriction when a restriction expires, that
is, when the stipulated time has elapsed, when the stipulated purpose for which the resource was
restricted has been fulfilled, or both.
Net Assets without Donor Restrictions — The part of net assets of a not-for-profit entity that is not subject
to donor -imposed restrictions (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain
grants). Net assets without donor restrictions may be subject to self-imposed limits by action of Relief
Nursery's governing board. Board designated net assets may be earmarked for future programs,
investment, contingencies, purchase or construction of buildings and equipment, or other uses.
Cash and cash equivalents
Relief Nursery considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
acquired to be cash equivalents. Relief Nursery maintains its cash balances in several financial
institutions located primarily in Eugene, Oregon. Account balances at each financial institution are insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Certain balances periodically exceed the
insured amount. Relief Nursery does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash, and
has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investments in marketable securities
Investments are primarily composed of trading securities and mutual funds, and are carried at fair value.
See Note 8 for discussion of fair value measurements.
Unrealized gains and losses are recorded to recognize the increase or decrease in fair value from the
beginning of the year to the end of the year. Investment income is recognized on the accrual basis of
accounting whereby interest and dividend income is recorded when earned, and realized gains or losses
on the sale of investments are recorded at the date of sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are
reflected within investment return, net, in the statement of activities. Relief Nursery invests cash in excess
of daily requirements in short-term investments. At June 30, 2022 and 2021, $1,565,227 and $1,736,534,
respectively, is invested short term, and during the year short-term investments earned (lost) ($233,802)
and $383,652 , respectively. Most long-term investments are held in two investment pools. The Theodore
and Dorothy Schultz Memorial Fund is for a donor restricted endowment and the unappropriated net
appreciation of those endowments. The Sapient quasi -endowment fund is for amounts designated by the
board of directors for long-term investment. Long-term investment activity is reflected in Note 7.
The majority of investments are held on behalf of Relief Nursery by a financial advisory service company.
In that Relief Nursery's investments are primarily comprised of corporate equity securities and mutual
funds, significant changes in prevailing interest rates and market conditions may adversely affect the
timing and amount of cash flows on such investments and their related values. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value
of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in values in the near term could
materially affect Relief Nursery's financial position and the amounts reported in the statements of
activities.
Beneficial interest in assets held by others
Relief Nursery has transferred assets (investments carried at fair value) to the Oregon Community
Foundation (OCF) establishing two funds. See Note 8 for discussion of fair value measurements.
Relief Nursery Endowment Fund was established in 1993. This agreement provides that upon written
request from a majority of Relief Nursery's Board of Directors, and subject to a majority approval of the
OCF Board of Directors, additional distributions can be made from the fund assets, even to the
exhaustion of the fund.
Children's Legacy Fund FBO Relief Nursery was established in 2014 as donor restricted endowment
fund. This agreement permits OCF to substitute another qualified charitable organization with similar
objectives and purposes selected by OCF in its sole discretion in the place of Relief Nursery if Relief
Nursery ceases to exist or is no longer a qualified charitable organization.
Relief Nursey has granted variance power to OCF, which allows the funds to be administered as
component funds of OCF subject to OCF's articles of incorporation and bylaws. OCF makes annual or bi-
annual distributions of an appropriate percentage of the fair market value of the Funds as determined by
their Board of Directors.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounts receivable
Relief Nursery considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for
doubtful accounts was considered necessary. Management determines and evaluates past due balances
on an account by account basis, and if amounts become uncollectible, they are charged to operations as
bad debt expense when that determination is made.
Revenue recognition
Relief Nursery recognizes grant revenue as income when services are performed under the
grant/contract agreement. Other public support is recognized when funds are received or a legally
enforceable pledge is made. Fee for service revenue is recognized when the service is performed.
Proceeds from fundraising events are recognized as revenue during the fiscal year that the fundraising
events occur. Revenues received during the year but not earned as of the end of the fiscal year are
reported as deferred revenue.
Land, buildings and equipment
Property and equipment in excess of $1,000 is capitalized at cost. Major renewal and betterments are
capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the
respective assets are charged to expense currently. Contributed property and equipment is capitalized at
its fair value at the date of the donation. If donors stipulate how long the assets must be used, the
contributions are recorded as restricted support. In the absence of such stipulations, contributions of
property and equipment are recorded as unrestricted support. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful life of the property. No buildings or equipment
are impaired
Refundable advance
In April 2020, Relief Nursery received a loan under the Small Business Association's Paycheck Protection
Program from Banner bank in the amount of $97,250. It is Relief Nursery's policy to account for this
funding as a conditional contribution in accordance with ASC 958-605. Upon receipt, the cash inflow is
recorded as a refundable advance. This refundable advance is reduced as the barriers are overcome and
Relief Nursery is entitled to the assets and the conditions of release have been substantially met or
explicitly waived. In 2021, management determined the barriers were overcome when expenses were
incurred and when the bank forgave the loan. Relief Nursery recognized contributions revenue of
$97,250 in 2021.
Contributed services
Relief Nursery receives donated services from a variety of unpaid volunteers who assist with programs in
non -specialized roles and with fundraising events throughout the year. Approximately 9,516 and 10,461
hours were donated by unpaid volunteers in the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The
Board of Directors also performs their duties and services on a volunteer basis, and the values of these
donated services are not reflected in the financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income taxes
Relief Nursery is a not-for-profit organization as described in Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue
Code and is exempt from federal income taxes. Relief Nursery has also been classified as an entity that
is not a private foundation within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and as an entity that qualifies
for deductible contributions. Relief Nursery does not have any material uncertain tax positions. Relief
Nursery files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Oregon state jurisdictions.
Functional expenses
The allocation of functional expenses to the various organizational activities is based on square footage
estimates and on time and effort incurred by personnel. Occupancy related expenses are allocated based
on square footage used by each specific program. Other expenses are allocated based on full-time
equivalent (FTE) of each program or project as a percentage of total FTE. Allocation of administrative
support expenses is based on management's analysis of various cost criteria. The activities relate to
either program services or support services.
Program Services
Therapeutic Early Childhood Preschool
This program provides a unique combination of individualized classroom and home-based developmental
experiences for children birth to six years of age. All aspects of the program focus on the specific issues
of children from multi -stressed families who have experienced trauma, abuse, and/or stress, or are at risk
for such experiences. Multiple features contribute to the therapeutic nature of this program and its
effectiveness in preventing child abuse and neglect. The curriculum and environment provided at the
Relief Nursery support the individual needs of each child. Teachers, specialists, and parents work
together to establish individual goals for each child. The therapeutic classroom is part of a larger system
providing comprehensive, ameliorating services to both child and family. To provide continuity between
school and home, the child's classroom teacher is also the family's home visitor, helping to enhance
parenting skills, promoting parent-child relationships, and creating a healthy and nurturing home
environment. All children participate in developmental screenings designed to reveal the need for further
assessment and/or specialized services to ensure appropriate and healthy development.
Accessing Success
Provides alcohol and drug recovery support services for families who have substance abuse issues
and/or whose lives have been impacted by substance abuse. The unique aspect of Accessing Success
includes Peer Support Interventionists who are in recovery and provide mentoring and support for
individual parents, as well as lead other Accessing Success activities. Other activities include a "Parents
for Recovery" support group, transportation to and from events and other activities, alcohol and drug free
social activities, and other supports that help parents maintain and/or achieve an alcohol and drug-free
life-style. Intake and outreach are the front-end enrollment and crisis response of the Relief Nursery
model. The approach is strength -based and creative, offering choices and support to families in a patient
and compassionate manner. A flexible strategy is essential in meeting the needs of families with multiple
issues and overcoming obstacles interfering with their follow-through.

Parent Education
In addition to the integration of informal parent education and support into all aspects of the Relief
Nursery, formal parent education classes, individualized in home parenting education and special

infant/toddler mental health focus and is designed for families facing challenges such as single
parenthood, low income, childhood history of abuse and other adverse child experiences, and current or
previous issues related to substance abuse, mental health issues, and/or domestic violence. Families
enrolled in Healthy Families have access to other Relief Nursery services as well.
Outreach Program
This program provides "front-end" intake, enrollment and crisis response for families initially contacting
the Relief Nursery. The approach is strength -based and creative, offering choices and support to families
in a compassionate and strength -based manner. A flexible strategy is utilized providing timely services for
families with multiple issues who are seeking support for themselves and their children. Intake workers
offer a supportive response and provide information, as needed about the Relief Nursery and other
community resources. In addition to intake and resources referrals, this program provides respite care,
home visits, and access to other Relief Nursery services such as family literacy events, mental health and
other specialized programs.
Mental Health Counseling Services
Highly trained counselors provide individual adult, child and family counseling services that include
assessment, treatment plans and progress monitoring. The mental health service follows a family
systems model based upon the belief that working with the entire family is the most effective means to
help individuals achieve treatment goals. A strong focus placed upon parent-child attachment and
relationships, emotional regulation skills, behavior management strategies and resiliency and trauma -
informed therapy.
Social Emotional Classroom — This specialized classroom is a collaboration with Early Childhood Cares
and Oregon Health and Science University's Child Development and Rehabilitation Center. This
classroom is led by a child and family therapist along with an early childhood special education specialist.
Children attend four days per week and families receive case management, family counseling and home
visiting as well as having access to all other Relief Nursery services.

Supporting Activities
Fundraising
These expenses primarily relate to direct costs incurred for annual fundraisers, donor relations,
community outreach, and development personnel.
Administrative Support
These expenses are related to the administration, accounting, personnel, and organization -wide functions
necessary for Relief Nursery to operate.
Subsequent events
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the statement of financial position date but
before financial statements are available to be issued. Relief Nursery recognizes in the financial
statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that
existed at the date of the statement of financial position, including the estimates inherent in the process of
preparing the financial statements. Relief Nursery's financial statements do not recognize subsequent
events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the statement of financial
position but arose after the statement of financial position date and before financial statements are
available to be issued.
Relief Nursery has evaluated subsequent events through November 15, 2022, which is the date the
financial statements are available to be issued.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

Reclassifications
Certain items from the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported change in net assets.
Recently Adopted Standards
As of July 1, 2021, Relief Nursey adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-07, Not -for -
Profit Entities for Contributed Nonfinancial Assets. This ASU amends Subtopic 958-605, Not -for -Profit -
Revenue Recognition, which didn't previously include specific presentation or disclosure requirements for
contributed nonfinancial assets, such as gifts -in-kind or in-kind donations, other than contributed services.
The adoption of ASU 2020-07 had no impact on Relief Nursery's change in net assets.
Note 2 — Cash and Cash Equivalents
Relief Nursery places its cash with various financial institutions. At June 30, 2022 and 2021, the deposit
amounts totaled $1,078,447 and $1,204,275 respectively. Amounts held in checking and savings
accounts were insured up to the maximum insurable amount by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

Relief Nursery is substantially supported by restricted contributions, grants, and contracts. Because a
funder's restriction requires resources to be used in a particular manner or in a future period, Relief
Nursery must maintain sufficient resources to meet those responsibilities to its donors. Thus, financial
assets may not be available for general expenditure within one year. As part of Relief Nursery's liquidity
management, it has a policy to structure its financial assets to be available as its general expenditures,
liabilities, and other obligations come due. In addition, Relief Nursery invests cash in excess of daily
requirements in short-term investments.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels
of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:
Basis of Fair Value Measurement
Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or
liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in markets that are not considered to
be active or financial instruments without quoted market prices, but for which all significant inputs are
observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value
measurement.
The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest
level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Management of Relief Nursery is responsible for determining valuation methods. Following is a
description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring
basis and recognized in the accompanying statement of financial position, as well as the general
classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. At least annually, Management: (1)
determines if the current valuation techniques used in fair value measurements are still appropriate, and
(2) evaluates and adjusts the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements based on current
market conditions and third -party information. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at
June 30, 2022 and 2021. Relief Nursery recognizes transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy at
the end of the reporting period.
Registered Investment Companies: Valued at quoted market prices provided primarily by custodians of
shares held by Relief Nursery at year end. The fair value of the investments in mutual funds is classified
within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Beneficial Interest in Assets Held by Others: Relief Nursery uses net asset value (NAV) to determine the
fair value of all the underlying investments which (a) do not have readily determinable fair value and (b)
prepare their financial statements consistent with the measurement principles or have the attributes of an
investment company. The beneficial interest in assets held by others is valued at NAV. There are no
unfunded commitments and the redemption frequency is quarterly. There is no redemption notice period
and no other restrictions.

Endowments of Not -for -Profit Organizations: Net Asset Classification of Funds Subject to an Enacted
Version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, and Enhanced Disclosures for all
Endowment Funds provides guidance on the net asset classification of donor restricted endowment funds
for a not-for-profit organization that is subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management
of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 (UPMIFA) and also required disclosures about endowment funds, both
donor -restricted endowment funds and board -designated endowment funds.
21
Relief Nursery, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 9 — Endowment Funds (continued)
The Board interprets the Oregon Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (OUPMIFA) as
requiring the preservation of the fair 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, Relief
Nursery classifies as net assets with restrictions the original value of gifts donated to the donor -restricted
endowment fund, the original value of subsequent gifts to the donor -restricted endowment fund, and
accumulations to the donor -restricted endowment fund 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 is classified as net assets with restrictions until those amounts
are appropriated for expenditure by Relief Nursery in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence
prescribed by OUPMIFA. In accordance with OUPMIFA, Relief Nursery considers the following factors in
making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor restricted endowment funds: duration and
preservation of the fund; the purposes of Relief Nursery and the donor restricted endowment fund;
general economic conditions; possible effect of inflation and deflation; the expected total return from
income and the appreciation of investments; other resources of Relief Nursery; and the investment
policies of Relief Nursery.
Unless otherwise instructed by the donor, all gains and losses are recorded in an accumulated
gains/losses fund. If the accumulated fund has a debit balance, the endowment is "underwater". If the
fund is underwater, the annual distribution will still be considered. However, if the value of the fund drops
below 50% of the fair value at date of donation, then no distribution will be made.
The Board has adopted an endowment fund investment policy that directs a minimum annual distribution
of 4% of the value of a three year rolling quarterly average. Distributions were made from the Theodore
and Dorothy Schultz Memorial Fund in the amount of $13,057 and $12,793 for the years ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, respectively. The endowment investment policy also provides that amounts stipulated by
donors to be retained permanently will be considered to be permanently restricted and will be invested in
accordance with the OUPMIFA guidelines of prudent investing. The Theodore and Dorothy Schultz
Memorial Fund was underwater as of June 30, 2022. However, the value of the fund did not drop below
50% of the fair value. No endowment funds were underwater as of June 30, 2021.
Additional investment guidelines are as follows:
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES:
Relief Nursery's general operating fund investment portfolio will be invested to adhere to the following
three fundamental principles:
• Return: The primary investment objective is total return while providing income to support ongoing
operations. The portfolio will be managed to generate a high rate of dividend and interest income.
• Safety: Recognizing the inherent risk in the primary return objective all other available measures will
be taken to insure the safety of principal, specifically a prudent allocation policy.
22
Relief Nursery, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 9 — Endowment Funds (continued)
Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable it to meet all operational
requirements of Relief Nursery that might be reasonably anticipated. More specifically, all securities
will be listed on an exchange or traded over the counter.
Relief Nursery's donor restricted fund investment portfolio will be invested to adhere to the following three
fundamental principles:
Return: The primary investment objective is long term total return while providing income to support a
minimum annual distribution.
• Safety: Recognizing the inherent risk in the primary return objective all other available measures will
be taken to insure the safety of principal, specifically a prudent allocation policy.
Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable a minimum annual distribution of
4% (net of fees) of the value of a three year rolling quarterly average.
• This minimum distribution will be made no later than April 1 st of each year. Relief Nursery is
responsible for determining this distribution. More specifically, all securities will be listed on an
exchange or traded over the counter.
• Additional disbursements may be made at the recommendation of the Finance Committee, based on
the performance of the portfolio, with authorization from the Board of Directors.
Donor Restricted Endowment Funds:
Amounts stipulated by donors to be retained permanently will be considered to be net assets with donor
restrictions and will be invested in accordance with the UPMIFA guidelines of prudent investing.
Relief Nursery's donor restricted endowment funds investment portfolio will be invested to adhere to the
following three fundamental principles:
• Return: The primary investment objective is long term total return while providing income to support a
minimum annual distribution.
• Safety: Recognizing the inherent risk in the primary return objective all other available measures will
be taken to insure the safety of principal, specifically a prudent allocation policy.

Note 9 — Endowment Funds (continued)
INVESTMENT CONSTRAINTS:
Social Responsibility: The selection of investments will be conducted in a manner that reasonably
considers the mission of the Relief Nursery. The mission statement is attached to that document and
thereby made a part of this policy.
• Diversification: The selection of investment allocation shall be diversified to reduce the risk of loss
resulting from an over concentration of assets in a specific maturity and a specific issuer of a specific
class of securities. This will be accomplished by allocating funds geographically, across sectors and
industries and limiting the initial investment in any one security to 5% of the principal amount of funds
within the portfolio. Provided, however, that any security, with the exception of Mutual Fund
investments, may be allowed to appreciate to 10% of the principal amount. Mutual fund investments
will be deemed to have achieved our diversification requirements and will be not limited to the 10%
appreciation requirement.
• Credit Quality: Credit quality will be based on one or more of the following primary rating agencies:
Standard & Poor's; Moody's; and Fitch IBCA. Income securities can be of any credit grade so long as
the average credit quality, based on the diversification constraint described above, approximates
BBB- or higher.

$ 118,984 $ 110,595
As of January 1, 2011, Relief Nursery adopted a 403(b) retirement plan. The Plan year is based on the
calendar year. Plan assets are held at Sapient and the Plan is administered through Ascensus.
Voluntary employee contributions can be made to the Plan by eligible employees. Relief Nursery will
match 50% of an employee's contributions up to 4% of an employee's elective deferral. To be eligible to
contribute, employees must be at least 21 years of age and must work more than 20 hours per week.
Additionally, to be eligible for an employer matching contribution, employees must complete one year of
service. Relief Nursery has accrued a matching contribution of $4,745 and $5,956 for the years ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Actual matching contributions totaled $44,095 and $41,342 for the
calendar years ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Relief Nursery amended the 403(b) plan to allow employees to take loans from the plan. Loans can be
taken for any purpose at a maximum of $50,000 and not to exceed one-half of the employee's vested
balance. The interest rate will be set at the prime rate as specific in the Wall Street Journal. Loans are
required to be repaid through payroll withholdings. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, no loans are
outstanding.

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies
The various grant documents under which Relief Nursery operates contain certain administrative and
performance covenants. Failure to comply with a grant covenant could require repayment of some or all
of that grant's revenue. These financial statements contain no provision for possible grant repayment as
management believes that Relief Nursery is in compliance with all pertinent covenants.
Note 15 — Related Parties
Relief Nursery's building located in Eugene, OR was determined to need exterior painting and dry rot
repairs. Three potential local contractors were contacted to provide estimates. One contractor declined to
submit a bid due to availability and scheduling conflicts. The other two contractors submitted timely bids.
Relief Nursery chose to award the work to the lowest bidder. The contractor who submitted this bid is an
owner of the company chosen and is related to a current Relief Nursery Board member. All work was
completed in a timely manner and all invoices were paid in full upon request and final inspection of the
work.

A Relief Nursery Family Story
IV r r
Two years ago I found myself in a familiar
predicament, homeless, desperate, confused, and
with only one place to turn to, my mother. I was 29
years old, a single mother of three, with one on the
way. I had a history of drug and alcohol addiction
which eventually made it impossible to hold down a
job, keep up on bills, or even function on a normal
level in life. I felt hopeless and desperate for a
better life, but I had no idea how to obtain it.
I moved back in with my mother who had taken in
my kids and me twice before this time. My life just
kept falling apart. I didn't see any way out, and here
I was about to give birth to my fourth child.
Through the help of Relief Nursery and many other
services available to me, I am finally living the life
that just two years ago I didn't think would be
possible. I have support from the Relief Nursery,
respite care for my disabled infant, and I am still
attending the Parents for Recovery group a year and
a half later. I have my own apartment, bills in my
name, and 18 months clean and sober. My life is
unbelievable today and I can't thank the Relief
Nursery enough for all the support and resources
they have helped me with. I can't wait to see what
tomorrow holds for me and my children.
The Relief Nursery Alcohol and
Drug Recovery Support Program
was selected and funded by the
Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMSHA) as one of eight national
programs to be replicated.

Accessing Success@
A Program of Recovery
Relief Nursery has initiated a project to improve services
to, and participation by families in our Native
communities. Guided by an advisory committee made
up of Native volunteers and Relief Nursery staff, the goal
is to create opportunities; improve agency cultural
competency, and integrate high quality, culturally
sensitive services with all Relief Nursery programs.
Strengthening families
and keeping children safe
What is the Relief Nursery? The Relief Nursery's Accessing Success® Outreach Connections
A Program of Recovery
The Relief Nursery is a non-profit, private
organization comprised of trained professionals
and volunteers who work collaboratively to
provide comprehensive family support services
to low-income, high-risk families and children.
Our mission is to build successful and resilient
children, to strengthen parents and to preserve
families.
What services does the Relief Nursery provide?
Our programs are effective models of child
protection based on the belief that most
children are best served when they remain with
their families. The Relief Nursery works to
reach specific goals that address the unique
needs of the entire family.

classrooms

and Native Alaskan descendent families.

and descendent families.
Founded in 1991, Accessing Success is a peer
mentor program created in response to client
feedback, revealing the connection between
substance abuse and child abuse. Accessing
Success provides support and encouragement
for men and women from early to long-term
recovery, teaching them the tools to live a
healthier life.

and judgement free language.

in a drug and alcohol -free environment.

we offer.

to a healthier lifestyle.
Outreach Connections is Relief Nursery's
community outreach and crisis response
program. It offers immediate support for
families while facilitating connection with other
Relief Nursery programs and services.
Outreach provides:
• Individualized home visits as a time to support
any concerns and discuss your child's
development.

childhood classrooms

in operation is extremely valuable to children that eventually become students of our school
district. The importance of providing support for these children are being served during the
formative preschool years will eventually translate to fewer services required later in life. These
children are much more likely to enter Springfield Public Schools able to learn and expand on
their successes.
Specifically, the project being requested for support will allow the Relief Nursery to expand
offices, classrooms and child care space to meet the needs of their expanding therapeutic child
abuse and neglect prevention programs. It is our understanding that, in order for this project to
continue moving forward, there is a requirement to modify the current easement on file,
granting access as part of the site expansion.
As a partner and supporter of Relief Nursery, I am confident that the school district and Relief
Nursery will be successful in agreeing to this required modification and am hopeful that the city
would also support this effort. I believe this requested adjustment is a reasonable way of
continuing to expand services offered by Relief Nursery.
Please contact me if you need further support or have any questions for the school district.
Respectfully,
Brett M. Yancey
