Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B
“There are no committees authorized to act on behalf of the governing body.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“The vp of finance reviews the federal form 990 with the treasurer in its draft form and any required revisions are submitted to the external tax team. The final draft federal form 990 is distributed to the board of directors before filing the federal form 990 with the internal revenue service.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“The action fund does not have any employees of its own. It reimburses ewg for its employees' time spent on the action fund work, and salaries are determined under ewg's process: the ewg board of directors designates a compensation committee of board members to review the action fund treasurer. All staff are reviewed by the treasurer and not the board of directors. Compensation comparison data is used to determine appropriate compensation levels. External salary surveys are purchased to compare like organizations by area of focus, geographic area, and function. Comparable environmental non-profits federal form 990's are also reviewed for salary information. In addition, an external specific compensation report is ordered each year regarding the action fund's treasurer.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are not available to the public. The federal form 990 and the form 1023 are provided upon request.”
FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A:
“Environmental working group (ewg) and ewg action fund (action fund) have entered into a cost sharing arrangement under which the action fund reimburses ewg for its employees' time spent on the action fund work. Ewg and ewgaf are not "related organizations" as that term is defined in the form 990, glossary. Compensation paid by ewg was determined using a review and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision. Ewg compensated the individuals listed on part vii, section a as follows: ken cook, treasurer/secretary: $349,565 scott mallan, vp finance: $261,681”
