“Abilities, Inc's Form 990 was mailed to every member of its Board of Directors prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service.”

“Abilities, Inc ensures compliance with the organization's written conflict of interest policy by requiring each Board Member to annually sign a statement which confirms that such person has received a copy of the policy, understands it, agrees to comply with it, understands that Abilities Inc must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes to maintain its federal tax exemptions, and shall disclose any possible conflict of interest on the Annual Conflict of Interest Statement. The organization insures that it received conflict of interest statements from all Board Members annually. It also performs periodic reviews to ensure that all compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, that arrangements with independent contractors do not result in impermissible private benefit and that arrangements with employees and other third parties further the corporation's charitable purposes and do not result in inurnment or impermissible private benefit.”

“The compensation Committee of The Viscardi Center (Abilities Inc's parent company) consists of Board members who meet once a year to determine the appropriate compensation for covered individuals which are defined in the policy as those who are in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of The Viscardi Center and Abilities Inc. Covered individuals include the President/CEO of The Viscardi Center and Abilities Inc, the Executive Vice President/CFO of The Viscardi Center and Abilities Inc. and the Controller/Assistant Treasurer of the Viscardi Center and Abilities Inc. In determining the appropriate compensation for covered individuals, the committee evaluates the covered individuals attainment of corporate goals. In addition, the committee reviews compensation paid for comparable positions by similarly situated non-profit entities as determined by an independent compensation survey compiled by an independent firm. The committee utilizes the finding of the survey to assure that compensation paid by The Viscardi Center and Abilities Inc does not exceed the benefit received by the organization in exchange for such compensation. In addition written offers that the covered individuals receive from similar institutions are also taken into consideration as is the availability of individuals possessing similar expertise or specialized training in the geographic area.”
