“Michael mantell, mary scoonover, and shauna manner are officers of rlf and have a business relationship - michael and mary are owners of resources law group (rlg) and shauna is employed by rlg.”
“The organization made the following changes to its bylaws: - increased the maximum number of directors from 11 to 15 - changed the quorum requirement from 1/5 to 1/3 of the authorized number of directors or 2 directors, whichever is larger - extended the compensation determination requirement to the cfo.”
“The 990 is prepared by outside tax accountants, reviewed by the controller, chief financial officer, the president of resources legacy fund foundation, and the audit committee. It is then sent to all voting members before filing.”
“A conflict of interest policy covers officers and directors, who are required to disclose potential conflicts annually in writing. The board of directors determines if an actual conflict exists and is responsible for any required review and action. Additionally, a conflict of interest policy is included in the employee policy manual. Upon hire, employees are required to read it and acknowledge that they are familiar with and will observe the policy.”
“The governance committee, on behalf of the board, engaged an outside consultant to review the executive compensation of rlf's peers, to assess rlf's executive compensation, and to provide an independent opinion regarding the reasonableness of rlf's executive compensation. The positions of president, executive vice president, and chief financial officer were included in this assessment. This process was last undertaken in 2015. On a bi-annual basis, the president reviews compensation survey data and compensation data from several similar organizations, combines it with his awareness of compensation practices gained through his professional and volunteer affiliations, and establishes a reasonable compensation level for the key employees. This process was last undertaken in 2015.”
“Audited statements and 990 tax returns are available and downloadable from www.resourceslegacyfund.org. Organizational by-laws and irs letter of determination of tax exemption are provided at request to all donors.”
“Consulting fees: program service expenses 429,265. Management and general expenses 0. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 429,265.”
“Fees include payments to over 10 vendors for scientific studies, strategic communications, mapping, conservation expertise, program design, management and evaluation, preparation of environmental documents required for projects by governmental agencies, and policy research and analysis.”
“Neither process has changed from the prior year.”
“Rlff has applied the accounting principles related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and has determined that there is no material impact on the financial statements. With some exceptions, rlff is no longer subject to u.s. Federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2011.”
