Governance Explanations

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

“The form 990 is reviewed by the organization's board of directors prior to signature and filing.”

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

“The conflict of interest policy covers interested persons, including officers, directors, or members of a committee that have a direct or indirect financial interest. The interested person must disclose the existence of a conflict of interest and all material facts to the board of directors or members of a committee considering the proposed transaction arrangement. The board or committee then decides whether a conflict of interest exists. In the event the board or committee determines a conflict of interest exists, appropriate disciplinary and corrective action will be taken to eliminate the conflict.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The board of directors strives to ensure a generally competitive and industry comparable salary and benefits package for the president, ceo, officers & key employees. Each year, based on the performance of the commonwealth foundation during the prior year, the board determines a level of salary increase that is either based on annual, national or regional data or, if an increase significantly different from data is proposed, the board conducts a salary review of similar positions of organizations similar to the foundation and the salary is adjusted accordingly based on those findings. This review is conducted by both contacting several organizations directly for salary data and by comparing other publicly available salary information, such as publicly available form 990 tax returns.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization provides the governing documents and conflict of interest policy upon request.”

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation has been recognized by the internal revenue service (irs) as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the code) and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to sections 502(a) of the code. The foundation adheres to the provisions of asc 740, income taxes (asc 740). Asc 740 establishes rules for recognizing and measuring tax positions taken in an income tax return, including disclosures of uncertain tax positions (utps). Asc 740 mandates that companies evaluate all material income tax positions for periods that remain open under applicable statutes of limitation, as well as positions expected to be taken in future returns. The utp rules then impose a recognition threshold on each tax position. An organization can recognize an income tax benefit only if the position has a "more likely than not" (i.e., more than 50 percent) chance of being sustained on the technical merits. For the year ended september 30, 2019, and year ended september 30, 2018, the foundation has taken no material tax positions on its applicable tax filings that do not meet the "more likely than not" threshold. As a result, no amount for utps has been included in the financial statements. Management believes it is not subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2016.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
