“On an annual basis and in time to comply with the irs filing deadline, ulu foundation treasurer provides the necessary financial and narrative information to the ulu foundation audit committee and an independent accounting firm which then prepares a draft form 990, complete with relevant financial information and supporting schedules. Once an acceptable draft form 990 has been prepared, the audit committee submits the draft form 990 via email to the full board of trustees, inviting their review and comments. Recommended changes will be incorporated before the final signed copy of the form 990 is emailed to the full ulu foundation board of trustees and also before filing with the irs.”

Rather than completing a new form each year, trustees, officers, and employees may also indicate in writing, including via email, that no changes need to be made to their previously completed forms.”
