“Math For America's Form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to the full Board of Trustees for discussion and comment at a board meeting. Each Board Member was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its electronic filing with the Internal Revenue Service.”

“In recognition of the increased disclosure requirements of the new Form 990, Math For America instituted a conflict of interest policy organization-wide that was communicated to all employees. Math for America requested that all employees (especially officers, directors and trustees) comply with the requirements of the conflict of interest policy and disclose immediately any potential conflicts. Additionally, Math for America distributed an annual questionnaire to be completed by all of its officers, directors and key employees. This questionnaire is completed on an annual basis. The questionnaire requires the respondent to disclose any family and/or business relationships with other Math for America personnel. The Organization monitors compliance with the distributed questionnaire and follows-up on any potential conflicts. Math for America has received responses from all individuals listed on Part VII of this Form 990 and determined that there was only one business relationship to be disclosed on the Form 990. (Please see response to Part VI, Line 2).”

“Math for America undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation it pays to its top management official and all of the officers and key employees of the organization is reasonable given the market in which it operates. the Board of Directors has established a Finance Committee (a sub-set of the Executive Committee) of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation agreement. The terms of the compensation package to the President are memorialized in a written employment contract that is in force for a term of three years. Math For America last conducted a comprehensive independent compensation study in November of 2016.”
