Fjc

“Fjc has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. When the form 990 has been prepared, reviewed by management and is ready to be filed with the internal revenue service, it is electronically sent to the board for approval. Each board member is instructed to confirm they have received a copy of the form 990 and is asked to review the return within a specific window of time (generally at least 72 hours to respond back with any questions). Once the board has approved the return it is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“Fjc monitors each director and officer's conflicts of interest on an annual basis. Board members, officers, and key employees are required to complete a questionnaire annually. No conflict transaction may be entered into by the organization unless the audit committee determines that the conflict transaction is fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the organization. All audit committee determinations regarding conflict transactions, including all questions as to whether a related party has a financial interest or substantial financial interest in a conflict transaction, after considering alternative transactions to the extent available, will be resolved by a majority vote of the disinterested directors present at the meeting. To ensure the objectivity and independence of the decision-making process, the director, officer or key person who is involved in the conflict transaction will not be present for or participate in the deliberation or vote on the conflict transaction, but may be counted for quorum purposes. Decisions are documented as required by law.”

The board last approved ceo compensation and staff increases in the aggregate in february 2025.”
