Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The organization's Board was provided the tax return for review before it was filed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“A compensation committee, excluding the executive director, was formed to evaluate staff salaries. As part of this process, the board researched the compensation for the executive director position at similar organizations to ensure compensation was fair and reasonable. The executive director recused himself from the discussion and the decision making process regarding this matter.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization's Form 1023 and 990 were available to the public upon request. The organization's bylaws are available to the general public through the New York State Charities Bureau's website.”

IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Calyx Institute provides grants to organization that advance our work to educate the public about privacy in digital communications and to develop tools that anyone can use to build "privacy by design" into their internet access. We solicite grant applications that describe the project or organization's work, carefully examining the proposed budget to ensure it will reasonably match the expected impacts. Funds are only disbursed to 501(c)(3) or (501)(c)(4) nonprofits with proven track records of careful stewardship of resources. Grant recipients sign a grant agreement that requires all funds to be used for charitable purposes, and prohibits the grant from being used to fund any work that would fall outside of charitable work allowable by 501(c)(3) nonprofits. The impact of the grant and use of funds is reviewed through a formal grant report at the end of the grant period.
