Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“Form 990 was made available to all members of the governing body before filing, this policy was put in place in 2024.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The organization requires all board members annually to review the conflict of interest policy and to complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure form. The board president is responsible for reviewing the signed disclosure forms, managing any conflicts that do arise in accordance with the policy, and generally ensuring that all board members comply with the policy.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The process of determining compensation of the executive director involves, first, an assessment by the organization's hiring committee, and then the full board in the ensuing years of an appropriate compensation range based on comparability data (looking at the organizations in the region of a comparable size and budget). Once the range is established, the full board evaluates the performance of the executive director, deliberates in an open meeting as to what the compensation should be, and documents the deliberations and final decision in meeting minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization has sent candid (the public-facing charity evaluator) copies of its governing documents, conflicts of interest policy, whistleblower policy, and document retention policy. In addition, it sends each year its irs form 990. Via candid, these documents can easily be viewed by the public.”
