“Board chair shelly lotman fisher and board of director jeffrey lotman are siblings. Board secretary/treasurer karen lotman is mother of shelly lotman-fisher and jeffrey lotman.”
“The directors review audited financial statements and form 990 and discuss any relevant findings with the independent accountants. If there are any issues, they are corrected prior to issuance.”
“Conflict of interest policy is monitored by the president and executive director on an annual basis via email distribution of the policy to each board member. The board president reviews completed forms. Compliance is enforced by the executive director and the president of the board and discussed as an agenda item during periodic status update meetings.”
“The board arranges for an independent survey (which means that the person receiving the compensation should not be part of the process) to conduct a comparability review. Mvrf prefers to use the executive committee of the board for this purpose. The mvrf executive committee reviews salary and benefits comps data, such available from salary and benefit surveys, to learn what national npo's of a similar budget size that are located in the same, or a similar geographic region, pay their senior leaders. They also review and weigh overall performance and leadership-based metrics. The mvrf executive committee documents who was involved and the process used to conduct the review, as well as the disposition of the board's decision to approve the executive director's compensation. The documentation demonstrates that the board acted responsibly when it approved the executive director/ceo compensation.”
“Governing documents are available on guidestar.org and upon request”
“The process has not changed from prior year.”
“Endowment fund established to provide funding for research grants in accordance with the mission of the foundation.”
“Mvrf is exempt from tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Mvrf recognizes tax benefits only if it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. Tax years 2012 and forward remain subject to examination. No liability for uncertain tax positions was recorded as of september 30, 2015.”
