Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Oregon Arts Watch is a non-profit corporation whose educational purpose is to provide the residents of Oregon and the Portland metropolitan area with the knowledge and information they need to participate in the region's cultural life, which we believe is important to the success of both our democratic process (through developing shared values and approaches to problem-solving) to the economic health of the state (which is heavily dependent on creative economy businesses).

Oregon Arts Watch produces independent, professional arts and culture journalism and criticism that is transparent, fair and accurate.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“Board members have the right to nominate and elect new board members.”

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

“The numbers on this form are matched carefully with our accounting system and checked by both the executive director and a financial systems consultant, who also now serves on our board. All financials, including the 990, quarterly and annual budget reports, financial statements and balance sheets are regularly provided to board members before each board meeting, which are held quarterly. Other updates between meetings are provided as necessary.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Compensation for key staff positions, including the executive director, the executive editor and the operations manager are approved by the board, which voted to increase it during the reporting period. The staff receive small stipends, and compensation is not yet commensurate with the professional services performed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“We post our annual report on our website. Other documents are regularly shared with the board and are made available to anyone else upon request.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Executive Director and the Executive Editor are married and on the board of directors as ex-officio members without voting rights.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Board members have the right to nominate and elect new board members.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The numbers on this form are matched carefully with our accounting system and checked by both the executive director and a financial systems consultant, who also now serves on our board. All financials, including the 990, quarterly and annual budget reports, financial statements and balance sheets are regularly provided to board members before each board meeting, which are held quarterly. Other updates between meetings are provided as necessary.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Compensation for key staff positions, including the executive director, the executive editor and the operations manager are approved by the board, which voted to increase it during the reporting period. The staff receive small stipends, and compensation is not yet commensurate with the professional services performed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4We post our annual report on our website. Other documents are regularly shared with the board and are made available to anyone else upon request.
