Operation Fuel Incorporated

“The irs form 990 is prepared annually by operation fuel's auditor. The return is provided to management and management reviews the return and provides feedback. Then, the auditor reviews the return at a meeting of the finance committee. Once that process is complete, the return is made available to all board members (either electronically or in hard copy), giving them an opportunity to review the return and to submit any questions to the board treasurer, executive director and/or finance director within a week. Once any issues are addressed, the form 8879 to authorize e-filing of the return is signed by the treasurer and the return is electronically filed with the irs.”

“Board members, employees, and committee members of operation fuel will submit annually on a form approved by the board, any conflict or potential conflict before any additional board or committee action is taken. These annual disclosure forms will be reviewed by the officers of the board to try and resolve any actual or potential conflict(s) and if they can't come to a resolution, will refer all matters to the full board of directors.”

“As an aspect of the annual executive director review process, the executive evaluation task force uses local market nonprofit data, a nonprofit salary survey, and industry-specific salary data to benchmark compensation for the position. The executive evaluation task force sets the range for the executive director salary, reviewing the range annually related to market conditions and changes in operation fuel's business and ensuring the range is relevant. Within the framework of the executive evaluation task force process and timeline, the task force decides on a total compensation package for the executive director, including benefits and incentive awards, and recommends the package to the board. The board reviews and approves the executive director compensation package annually, prior to the approval of the budget. This was last done during the 2021 tax year (2022 fiscal year).”

“Generally, the organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request, if not already provided on the organizations website.”

“The organization did not change its process from prior year.”
