Governance Explanations

Officer directors etc family relationship Part VI line 2

“Jerilyn Hirschs spouse is Robert Mac Murdo.”

Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11

“The organizations 990 is compiled by our accountant with the assistance of the Treasurer. Once the 990 has been completed it is distributed electronically to the board for review and comment prior to filing. All comments and questions are resolved prior to filing, primarily through email between all board members.”

Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12C

“Bridges to Learning Incs Conflict of Interest policy is completed annually by each board member. The board collectively reviews each members statement and discusses any questions that members may have. Members are bound to report any change in their situation throughout the year. Randomly, the Chairman, will poll the board as to their status at periodic board meetings and those results are compiled in the minutes.”

CEO executive director top management comp Part VI line 15A

“During the Boards annual strategic planning session in 2008, it concluded that establishing a salary for the President and Treasurer would be sound policy to begin to establish credibility as a sustainable organization. Consulting firms such as MAP for Non-Profits and the Minnesota Council of Non-Profits were accessed to evaluate appropriate salary structures for organization our size. A new Executive Director was hired in August 2010 to replaced Jerilyn Hirsch who wished to retire and support the organization through service with the board.”

Other officer or key employee compensation Part VI line 15B

“Using the information gleaned from the aforementioned organizations the board determined that a half time salary of $25,000 per annum was appropriate to offer the new director.Compensation for an Administrative Assistant was also approved for the prevailing rate of $10.00/hr for part time work.”

Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19

“Bridges to Learning Inc posts its by-laws and governing documents on their website, www.Bridges2Learning.org”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Bridges to Learning (B2L) established the Breakfast fund as a means to provide the elementary school children a nutritious breakfast each morning. Many children come from families too poor to provide more than one meal a day and hungry children do not learn very well.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/ExpenseAmt05625
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Research & Dissemination B2L performs research to gather information that can be useful for B2L strategic decision-making and for its partners, collaborators. Information that advances the B2L mission can be disseminated to the general public using social media vehicles. B2L uses the communications from students and schools in Vietnam, stories about their progress, and other information to help donors and interested parties understand education in its global context.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/ExpenseAmt02321
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Collaborations & PartnershipsAs one of a relatively small number of organizations supplying resources to poor children in Vietnam, B2L has a unique position to become an organization that is also providing strength to the infrastructure of nonprofit organizations currently in Vietnam as a movement-maker, B2L initiates collaborations and partnerships that strengthen our ability to carry out our mission. We seek partners who work with models similar to ours, supporting the unique needs of each child.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1School Asset ManagementEven though schools like Anh Linh Free School are poor in capital and cash, they still have more funds than many places in impoverished communities. Keeping the money donated from B2L in their local bank accounts can be a challenge. It attracts attention, and could be confiscated. For schools in developing countries, it is often safer to retain their funds offshore. B2L works with the school to help them with their cash flow and cash management. B2L is creating an escrow account to finance programs for the next year and help the school maintain, budget, and manage the flow of funds.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Jerilyn Hirschs spouse is Robert Mac Murdo.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The organizations 990 is compiled by our accountant with the assistance of the Treasurer. Once the 990 has been completed it is distributed electronically to the board for review and comment prior to filing. All comments and questions are resolved prior to filing, primarily through email between all board members.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Bridges to Learning Incs Conflict of Interest policy is completed annually by each board member. The board collectively reviews each members statement and discusses any questions that members may have. Members are bound to report any change in their situation throughout the year. Randomly, the Chairman, will poll the board as to their status at periodic board meetings and those results are compiled in the minutes.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3During the Boards annual strategic planning session in 2008, it concluded that establishing a salary for the President and Treasurer would be sound policy to begin to establish credibility as a sustainable organization. Consulting firms such as MAP for Non-Profits and the Minnesota Council of Non-Profits were accessed to evaluate appropriate salary structures for organization our size. A new Executive Director was hired in August 2010 to replaced Jerilyn Hirsch who wished to retire and support the organization through service with the board.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4Using the information gleaned from the aforementioned organizations the board determined that a half time salary of $25,000 per annum was appropriate to offer the new director.Compensation for an Administrative Assistant was also approved for the prevailing rate of $10.00/hr for part time work.
