Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“The return is presented to the board for review and approval before filing.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“Board members are required to sign a form indicating that they have read and understand forward mt foundation's conflict of interest policy and procedures on an annual basis. On this form, board members disclose any possible conflicts of interests in accordance with the written policy. Members are prompted to address issues related to organizational interests, business interests and other significant involvement related to themselves or their immediate family members.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“Forward montana foundation and forward montana (a 501(c)(4) organization) have entered into a cost sharing agreement to minimize duplicated expenses and to carry out their complimentary missions in an economical and efficient manner through the sharing of employees, office space, and equipment. Forward montana handles all the payroll tax reporting. All 27 employees are shared by the two organizations so forward montana is considered the common paymaster. The number of w-2s issued by the common paymaster (27) has been disclosed on part v, line 2a in accordance with the 990 instructions. Compensation from the common paymaster has also been reported on parts vii and ix in accordance with the 990 instructions. Forward montana has a process in place for determining the compensation of the organization's executive director and other employees. That process is as follows: - the board, or an independent body determined by the board, must approve the compensation level. The person receiving the compensation should not be part of the process. - the board, or independent body, must make use of data showing how much similar organizations are paying executive directors or comparable positions to determine that the compensation is reasonable; and - the board, or independent body, must properly document and report the decision-making process and compensation including who is involved in the process, comparable compensation data used, and minutes of any and all meetings.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request at its offices.”
