Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“Form 990 is initially reviewed by organizational management for accuracy and completeness. Following this internal review, the completed form is presented to the board of directors for their review prior to its submission to the IRS.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The organization engaged an independent third party to conduct a compensation study for the Executive Director position. The study evaluated comparable roles at similarly sized organizations with similar scope of operations to determine reasonable and appropriate compensation.”

Pt VI, Line 15B

“An independent third party conducted a comprehensive compensation analysis for the organizations officers and key employees. This analysis benchmarked each position against comparable roles at similarly sized and structured nonprofit organizations to ensure compensation was fair, reasonable, and aligned with industry standards. Based on the findings, it was determined that the compensation of the Executive Director falls at the lower end of the range when compared to peer organizations.”

Pt VI, Line 18

“The organization makes its Form 990 and financial statements available to the public upon request, which may be submitted via email, through the organizations website, or in person.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“The organization provides access to its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements upon request. Requests may be submitted via email, through the organizations website, or made in person.”

IRS990ScheduleE/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Onward and Upward maintains a formal Student Non-Discriminatory Policy that affirms its commitment to racially nondiscriminatory practices in all aspects of student admissions, programs, and scholarships. The organization believes it is acting in good faith to meet the requirements outlined in Sections 4.01 through 4.05 of Revenue Procedure 75-50, 1975-2 C.B. 587. This includes publicizing the policy in a manner consistent with IRS guidelines, ensuring staff awareness, and administering financial aid without regard to race, color, or national origin. To support its commitment to nondiscriminatory practices, Onward and Upward maintains records regarding the ethnicity of enrolled students. These records help monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the organizations policies. However, the organization does not collect or retain ethnicity data for faculty or administrative staff. Scholarship assistance is awarded solely based on financial need and is not influenced by race, ethnicity, or any other protected characteristic.
