Mountain View Kiwanis Foundation

“Members of the Mountain View Kiwanis Foundation consist of dues-paid or honorary members of the Mountain View Kiwanis Club.”

“Members elect Trustees and Officers annually by majority vote.”

“Decisions or actions that impact the Foundation in future years, such as recurring or pledged grants to be paid in subsequent years, are brought before the general membership for vote prior to being carried out by the Board of Trustees.”

“A copy of Form 990 is provided to the Board of Trustees for review and discussion prior to filing with the appropriate tax agencies. Any questions or comments are directed to the Foundation Treasurer or to the outside CPA firm which prepares Form 990 and resolved prior to filing.”

“The Board of Trustees agree to disclose in writing to the Board, or to any relevant ad hoc committee, if they, or any member of their immediate families, or any organization with which they are affiliated, presently transact business with the Mountain View Kiwanis Foundation. Board Members with such relationships will not be eligible to vote on matters directly pertaining to the business to be transacted with the identified person or organization. The foregoing requirements, however, are not be construed to prevent a particular board member from briefly stating his/her position on the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions of other trustees or committee members by reason of the fact that personal knowledge on the matter may be of assistance to the other board or committee members in reaching their decision.”

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements and tax returns are available upon request. Annual tax returns are also available at www.guidestar.org.”
