“Michigan turgrass foundation has six type of members. Members can be regular, affiliated, honorary, student, senior, friend of turf member or associate member.”
“Members are allowed a majority vote at meetings called by the board of directors. Each member of the foundation who shall have been a member of record for 20 days preceding the meeting of the members shall be entitled to vote at meetings of the members.”
“The 990 is received by the organization's president who reviews the return for accuracy. Upon the president's approval, the 990 is made available to the board of directors. After any concerns presented by the board are addressed, the president signs and files the return.”
“The bylaws are available on the website. If a member would like to see financial statements they would be made available upon request.”
“Distributions will be at the discretion of the board in order to meet operating and program costs.”
“In the preparation of tax returns, tax positions are taken based on interpretation of federal, state and local income tax laws. Management periodically reviews and evaluates the status of uncertain tax positions and makes estimates of amounts, including interest and penalties, ultimately due or owed. No amounts have been identified, or recorded, as uncertain tax positions. Federal, state and local tax returns generally remain open for examination by the various taxing authorities for a period of three to four years.”
