“The foundation's board of trustees is appointed by the grand exalted ruler (ger) of the benevolent and protective order of elks of the united states of america (bpoe). The ger is lected by the membership of the bpoe.”
“Form 990 is reviewed by the director. Members of the board of trustees receive a copy of form 990 and any quetions and comments that arise are discussed with the director.”
“The foundation maintains a written conflict of inerest policy that is signed by each trustee upon joining the board. In addition, each trustee and the foundation's officers are required to review the policy annually and sign a conflict of interest certification to acknowledge the policy was reviewed. They are required to disclose all material facts of any actual or possible conflict of interest for themselves or their families to the director and other trustees. The board, exclusive of the interested person, determines if a conflict of interest exists and whther it is in the best interest of the foundation to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”
“Thw foundation maintains a compensation committee that reviews annual salaries based on performance reviews and market data.”
“SEE PART VI, ITEM 15A.”
“Requests for audited financial statements, tax returns, conflict of interest policy and governing documents are channeled through the director and made available upon request. The foundation also publishes audied financial statement highlights in their annual report, which is available on the foundation's website.”
“The foundation's mission is to help the benevolent and protective order of elks build stronger communities by offering college scholarships, funding programs that build the character and confidence of youth, serving and honoring veterans, and providing elks lodges and state associations with resources they need to accomplish their charitable objectives.”
“The foundation provided funds to the elks veterans service commission for various programs benefiting veterans. The foundation also provided funds to the elks veterans memorial restoration trust to help pay for needed maintenance and upkeep of the elks veterans memorial.”
“The board designated endowment fund is used to provide income to support the foundation's annual program and administrative expenses.”
“The foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and similar state income tax laws. The foundation is also classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) and contributions to the foundation qualify for charitable tax deductions by the donor. The foundation must recognize the financial statement impact of any tax benefit associated with tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax return unless it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Any interest and penalties associated with the tax position would also be recognized in the financial statements. The foundation performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the years ended march 31, 2015 and 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax exempt status. As of march 31, 2016, the foundation's tax returns for 2013 through the current year remain open and subject to examination by the internal revenue service and state jurisdictions. The foundation is not currently under audit nor is any audit pending.”
