Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The Organization's auditor prepares the 990 form. The Finance Committee reviews the draft and approves the 990. Once approved, the 990 is shared with the Board of Directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“The Board of Directors reviews the Conflict of Interest policy and other policies on a regular basis. Most recently, the Organization has joined with PANO (Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations) to update all policies and practices and to participate in their Standards of Excellence program. The Conflict of Interest policy has been reviewed by the board and updated at which point it was asked that all board members disclose any knowledge of conflicts of interest.”

An annual review is conducted by the President of the Board in consultation with the Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. The Board as a whole is made aware of the process and is welcome to have input. All senior management staff are required to undergo an annual review at which point compensation, job duties, and goals are evaluated against other similar organizations and job titles within the non-profit sector. Any adjustments beyond previously determined practices must be presented and approved by the Board of Directors.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

“Schedule D Part V Line 4 - The investment objective of the endowment fund is to preserve capital and to increase long-term purchasing power of the fund. Income from the endowment fund is to be used for the organization's operations.”

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“ASC 740-10, as it relates to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, requires entities to disclose in their financial statements the nature of any uncertainties in their tax position. Tax years including 2013 and later are subject to examination by tax authorities. Areas that the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities consider when examining tax returns of a charity include, but may not be limited to, tax-exempt status and the existence and amount of unrelated business income. The Organization does not believe that it has any uncertain tax positions with respect to these or other matters, and has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits or liability for penalties or interest.”
