Governance Explanations

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

“The organization shares a copy of form 990 with the finance and audit committee and the full board of trustees for review before filing it.”

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

“Each board member, officer, and key employee is required to annually affirm that they understand the conflict of interest policy, affirm that they have no conflicts of interest, and disclose any conflicts of interst that may exist. "covered persons" are required to disclose any possible conflict of interest as soon as they arise. After the "covered person" has disclosed the existence of a financial interest or a possible financial interest, the board shall determine if a conflict of interest exists because the "covered person" has an actual financial interest in the proposed transaction and that he or she shall benefit from such proposed transaction. If the board has reasonable cause to believe that a "covered person" has failed to disclose a financial interest, it shall inform the "covered person" of the basis for such belief and afford the "covered person" an opportunity to explain the failure of such disclosure.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The compensation for the ceo/president and highest compensated employees is based on compensation of comparable nonprofit organizations of similar purpose and budget. The compensation for the ceo/president is approved by the board of trustees.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request to the public.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Uncertain tax positions: the organization follows accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of the financial accounting standards board ("fasb") accounting standards codification ("asc") 740, income taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the positions will not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. As of december 31, 2023 and 2022, the organization had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”
