Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“The entire board does not receive a copy of the form 990 before its filing. Rather, the form 990 is sent to all members of the finance committee for their review for approval to e-file. Once the 990 has been filed, the staff provides the board with notice of the filing and emails an electronic copy to any interested board member.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The conflict of interest policy is in the By-Laws on an annual basis. Each board member and the executive director fill out a conflict of interest and disclosure form.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The board approves the executive director salary after consulting the Maine Association of nonprofit annual salary survey and other factors. There are no other paid officers and key employees per the IRS definition.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Upon request. Form 990 and the organization's financial statements are available on the Organization's website.”
