“Financial reports and the form 990 are reviewed by the foundation's executive director, board chair and finance committee before being distributed to the full board for review and approval.”
“Each employee, director, or other agent of the foundation annually signs a statement that affirms they have received a copy of the policy, read and understand the policy, agreed to comply with the policy, and understand the foundation must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes in order to maintain their federal tax exemption.”
“The executive committee of the board of directors recommends compensation of the executive director and key employees that is (i) within the budget approved by the board of directors, and (ii) comparable to industry norms for similarly sized nonprofits. The board of directors decide on compensation of the executive director and key employees by vote.”
“The executive director, along with the board of directors, determine the compensation of the organization's employees after carefully reviewing the employee credentials and the organization's budget. All positions and compensations are approved and funded through the annual budget, which requires board review and approval. In addition, personnel issues may be brought before the executive committee of the board of directors by the executive director.”
“Governing documents, disclosure explanation, articles of incorporation, by-laws, policies and procedures manual, conflict of interest policy and other governing policies, annual audits and 990's are on file in the finance office, available on the foundation's website and available to the public upon request.”
“The foundation evaluates any uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, the foundations policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is beneficial to the foundation, including any related interest and penalties, when it is more likely than not the position of management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management does not believe any significant income tax uncertainties exist as of december 31, 2015 or 2014.”
