“Bylaws were amended twice in 2023. The first amendment to article v, sections 2, 6, and 7, was to allow the board to use electronic methods for meeting and voting. The second amendment inserted article iii to expand on the charitable purposes of the organization as follows: the purposes of the corporation are exclusively charitable, within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986. Within the scope of the foregoing, the purposes for which the corporation is organized include, but are not limited to: a. Assisting and protecting unaccompanied children who are parties to judicial or regulatory proceedings, arising from the immigration laws of the united states, whether in the context of removal proceedings or applications for asylum or otherwise, by providing pro bono legal representation and by other means; b. Examining practices by which children's rights and interests can best be protected, both within the u.s. Immigration process and within the process of repatriating children to their country of origin, and developing educational materials relating to such practices; c. Operating and maintaining related charitable, educational, and benevolent programs in furtherance of the aforesaid purposes, within or outside the u.s. And either by itself or in partnerships, joint ventures, or consultation arrangements with other entities; d. Soliciting financial and programmatic support from governmental bodies, other charitable organizations, the business community, or the general public for the furtherance of the corporation's purposes; and e. Engaging in any such other activities as may be necessary and appropriate, or convenient to the furtherance of the foregoing stated purposes and permitted under any applicable law, including but not limited to establishing operations outside the united states consistent with these purposes and the mission of the organization, and providing services related to pro bono legal representation for unaccompanied migrant children, such as social services.”

“The organization did not document all meetings held by committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body during tax year.”

“The 990 is provided to the treasurer for review and questions. The full board will recieve a copy before it is filed with the irs.”

“Kind requires members, trustees, and officers to disclose the existence of a financial interest and all material facts related to that interest. The remaining board or committee members then determine if a conflict of interest exists. If a conflict is determined to exist, these members then determine whether kind can reasonably enter into a transaction or arrangement that does not give rise to a conflict, or if that is not possible, that the transaction or arrangement that gives rise to the conflict is in kind's best interests, to its benefit, fair and reasonable. If a member fails to disclose a potential or actual conflict of interest appropriate disciplinary or corrective action may be taken. Directors, officers, and members are required to sign annually a statement that they have received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, have read and understood it, and agree to comply with it.”

“Kind engaged an independent business management firm to analyze comparability market data on compensation in conjunction with the board of directors. Compensation adjustments were made including both changes for the present and changes for the future.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available from kind upon written or telephone request and is available on the kind website.”
