“Yes, the Form 990 was sent to the Board of Directors via email for review and approval.”

“ENFORCED AS PER NYS LAW.”

“In June 2014 Kupona launched a Performance Management process for a Mid-Year and Year-End review of all employees (at that time only the Executive Director), led by the Organizational Capacity Committee chair. The employee conducted a self-evaluation at Mid-Year and Year-End performance, identifying strengths and development areas and noting progress against duties and responsibilities as identified in the Job Description. The Organizational Capacity Commitee chair reviews the self-evaluation at Mid-Year and Year-End, solicits input from the Board, Advisory Board and CCBRT as needed, provides feedback and discusses performance with the employee, and recommends compensation or bonus adjustments, to be approved or denied by the Board of Directors.”

“Kupona Foundation hired its first non-Executive Director employees in 2014. Compensation for these employees was discussed with and approved by the Board of Directors before offers were made. The performance management process launched in June 2014 with a Mid-Year and Year-End review cycle will be used for all employees.”

“Financial statements are posted on the organization's website; all other documents are made available upon request.”

“PROVIDED UPON REQUEST”

“In 2016, Kupona Foundation formed a new partnership with ReSurge International, a non-profit that provides reconstructive surgical care for poor children and adults who lack access and builds surgical capacity in developing countries. Together with ReSurge, Kupona Foundation secured funding from longstanding partner Johnson & Johnson to facilitate reconstructive surgery training for medical teams in Tanzania. A CCBRT surgical team, as well as clinicians from other facilities, benefited from this training. Kupona Foundation was the prime grantee for this award. Kupona Foundation received all funds from Johnson & Johnson and distributed to CCBRT and ReSurge International as sub-grantees, according to signed agreements.In 2016, Kupona Foundation also hosted an art exhibition (Kupona Foundation did not own the art) in New York City as a creative way to raise awareness of one of the key global health causes we champion, obstetric fistula. Using art as a vehicle for storytelling and community engagement, Kupona was able to connect with new supporters and members of the international fistula community. The project mobilized support and increased awareness of the partnerships and programs working to eradicate obstetric fistula, including CCBRTs role as one of the largest providers of comprehensive obstetric fistula treatment in the world. Kupona Foundation received both financial and in-kind support from partners, including Johnson & Johnson and UNFPA, to facilitate the execution of the project.”
