“A copy of the form 990 is delivered to the board of directors for review and full approval. A designated representative of the ministry is to be available to answer questions to the board of directors during the period of review and approval. A signed acknowledgement or review and approval, either manual or electronic, is to be received from each board member before the filing date.”

“If the governing board or a committee of the ministry has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. With regard to employees of the ministry, they are required to complete a disclosure statement to report any actual, attempted or suspected violations of this policy by anyone in the ministry. The disclosure statement is also required to be completed by all employees to indicate the existence of actual or potential conflict of interest before entering into a business relationship. To ensure the ministry operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews of arrangements that may cause conflicts of interest shall be conducted. The periodic review shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects: whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining. Whether business relationships conform to the ministry's written policies, and are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction. When conducting the periodic reviews, the ministry may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the governing board of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted.”

“The process for determining compensation for the top official of the ministry includes a review and approval by the board of directors or compensation committee, excluding those who may have a conflict of interest with respect to the transaction before such compensation may become effective. The board of directors or compensation committee is provided with independent compensation studies and comparable compensation as reported on similar organizations on a filed form 990.”

“Mercy multiplied international, inc. Is a christian-based entity that exists as the central coordinating body for the mercy multiplied program and brand. Formally known as mercy ministries international, inc., the ministry officially changed its name to mercy multiplied international, inc., effective october 2015. The ministry owns and shares with global affiliates the intellectual property developed or owned by the ministry, including program standards and branding. The ministry provides oversight and accountability to its ministry affiliates as they carry out their shared mission, which is to provide opportunities for all to experience god's unconditional love, forgiveness, and life-transforming power. The affiliates serve this mission in two ways: through a free-of-charge residential counseling program for young women ages 13 to 28 and through outreach programs and resources. The affiliates' residential programs are specifically designed to promote faith, change hearts, and stop destructive cycles by addressing the whole person- spiritual, physical, and emotional. Affiliate outreach initiatives are designed for men and women ages 12 and up, and seek to bring awareness to life-controlling issues, teach keys to lasting freedom, and share practical insights into helping others who are struggling. The ministry itself does not operate any homes. The ministry licenses the use and implementation of its program structure and core components to its ministry affiliates, who operate as separate entities with separate governing boards, and oversees the uniform implementation of and maintenance of its standards. The ministry does not accept funding from any entity, including government, that would impair its ability to preach and teach the word of god and openly espouse the good news of the gospel as an essential element in healing.”
