Governance Explanations

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

“The president of the organization distributes a pdf copy of the 990 return to all board members for review and comment prior to being filed.”

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

“Annually, the organization reviews and discusses the conflict of interest policy and requests that each board member list and acknowledge any known conflicts. All members of the board of directors and staff are covered under the conflict of interest policy. At each board and committee meeting, if there is a discussion of selecting or engaging a vendor or service provider, all in attendance are asked to recuse themselves from this discussion if there could be a perceived conflict.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 A B

“The board of directors reviews the compensation for the president / ceo by comparing their compensation to the compensation of individuals in like positions, in comparable organizations using forms 990, compensation studies, and other available data. The board then approves any changes in compensation based on this information. The organization has no paid officers or employees meeting the irs definition of a key employee.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Requests for copies of the organizations governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements may be made in writing or in person at the organizations main business location. All such requests are fulfilled in a timely manner.”
