Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1
“The executive committee is composed of the officers of the corporation, 4 of 5 of which are also members of the governing body (the vice president is not a director). By its corporate bylaws, the executive committee has all of the powers of the board of directors except that the executive committee does not have the power to amend or repeal the bylaws or to adopt new bylaws; to fill vacancies in, change the number of, or remove members of the board of directors; or to dissolve, remove members or change the number of, or fill vacancies in the executive committee; or to amend or repeal any resolution of the board of directors which by its terms shall not be amendable or repealable. In practice, all resolutions of the executive committee are ratified by the full board at its next scheduled meeting.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“The final version of the form 990 was reviewed and adopted by the executive committee of the board of directors prior to submission.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12
“Directors are asked to recuse themselves from votes and/or decisions on grants where they are a board member or key officer of the recipient organization. This happens infrequently and is noted in the minutes.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“In 2016, the compensation of the president and vice president of the corporation was reviewed by an ad-hoc committee of independent directors and former directors of the corporation. The committee recommended salary adjustments and bonus compensation after evaluating local comparable data, organizational and individual performance, and the consumer price index for urban and clerical workers to track inflation. The committee made recommendations to the full board which were adopted unanimously in during the march 2, 2016 meeting of the board's independent directors. In 2017, this compensation was unchanged.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“The organization makes its form 990 and audited financial statements available for public inspection on its website and upon request. The organization does not make its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to the public.”

Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
Form 990, Part III, Line 2
“The sprout fund, on behalf of the city of pittsburgh and allegheny county, supported my brother's keeper, the regional commitment to create a more equitable community where all residents-especially boys and young men of color-benefit from the region's growth and improvements. Sprout created a community of practice and funding programs to forge new partnerships between "youth-serving organizations that worked directly with youth in out-of-school-time settings, particularly young men of color ages 16-24, and "resource organizations with demonstrated experience in mentorship, youth leadership, and/or digital literacy best practices. Finally, sprout supported a comprehensive planning process for the future of mbk by developing an in-depth action plan that resulted from intensive series stakeholder feedback interviews and community conversations.”
Form 990, Part III, Line 3
“The sprout fund concluded its stewardship of the remake learning network in september 2017, helping the initiative spin-out fully as the stand-alone remake learning council. Concurrent with this wind-down were the conclusion of the grantmaking, community building, and communications activities sprout executed on behalf of the network.”
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:
“The organization's financial statements are audited by an independent accounting firm. In addition, the organization's executive committee assumes the responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and its selection of the independent accountant. This process is slightly changed from prior years when a separate audit committee existed.”
Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The organization is a tax-exempt organization under internal revenue service code section 501(c)(3) and is not a private foundation as provided by the internal revenue code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require the organization's management to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken a position that is uncertain. An uncertain position is defined as one in which there is a 50% or greater likelihood that the position will not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the organization and has concluded that, as of december 31, 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken. The organization has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes the organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2014.”
