Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

“The board of directors is provided a draft copy of the form 990 to review prior to filing. The board can ask question and request changes prior to filing.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

“The board evaluates comparative data from similar organizations and also reviews organization performance in setting compensation. In 2018, the board changed the executive director's compensation method from a standard salary plus bonus. The new structure is more aligned with each major role performed by the executive director. Under this new structure, his compensation includes the following components: - a salary for this role as executive director (75,000). - variable compensation for hosting mormon stories podcast equal to 75% of any contributions received directly for the mormon stories podcast, subject to a maximum compensation amount established by the board. - a fixed fee paid for each event he leads for the organization. This fee is consistent with the fees paid to other professionals who participate in these events. - a discretionary bonus as determined by the board based on his performance as executive director. - health insurance, and - a sep (simplified employee pension) based retirement plan.”
