The Partners Program

“The partners program (tpp) is a type i supporting organization of the college preparatory school (cps). Cps is a public charity described in internal revenue code sections 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(1)(a)(ii). Tpp's directors are appointed by cps.”

“The organization does not have any committees that have authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“A full copy of the return is emailed to all trustees with an invitation to join a meeting to review the return. All trustees must respond affirmatively authorizing filing before the return is filed.”

“As a supporting organization, the trustees of the partners program primarily serve in a fundraising capacity and do not customarily engage in material transactions that could give rise to potential conflicts. The college preparatory school, its related organizations, is primarily responsible for engaging in material contracts and relationships that could potentially give rise to conflicts of interest. Therefore, the trustees, officers, directors, and key employees of the college preparatory school are required to disclose annually whether any interests may give rise to conflicts and regularly monitor and enforce compliance with the established conflicts of interest policy.”

“The partners program's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request. A notice describing availability is posted in plain view in the college preparatory school's business office and the partners program's office. These documents are available for the same period of time set forth in sec. 6104(d).”

“All business functions are handled by the college preparatory school which does have such policies.”
