Governance Explanations

Form 990 Part VI Line 11A Form 990 Review by Board

“The form 990 is prepared and reviewed by the treasurer for accuracy and then circulated to the full board for discussion and comments prior to filing.”

Form 990 Part VI Line 12C Conflict of Interest Policy Compliance

“Officers and directors as well as their spouses, domestic partners, parents, children and siblings annually complete a disclosure form identifying any relationships, positions or circumstances in which he or she is involved that could contribute to a conflict of interest. This policy is reviewed annually by the board of directors.”

Form 990 Part VI Line 15A Process to Determine Exec Director Compensation

“The executive director's compensation was negotiated directly by the board of directors with the executive director. Based on form 990's for similar organizations, the amount of remuneration is modest relative to the time and effort expended on behalf of the foundation by the executive director. There was contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision in arriving at the annual compensation amount for the executive director.”
