Governance Explanations

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

“Form 990 was presented to the executive committee of the board of directors during a regularly scheduled meeting. Members of the executive committee were given the opportunity to review the 990 prior to filing with the irs.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

“Each board member signs a conflict of interest statement (they are also given a copy of it) indicating any potential conflicts. All committee members sign a conflict of interest statement as well. The executive director reviews the statements prior to the grant award cycle and scholarship approval process. During the grant award cycles and the scholarship approval process, the executive director ask members to recuse themselves from voting if they have a conflict.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

“The foundation follows the rules and regulations of the irs regarding public availability of form 990 as well as any other required documents. The form 990 is available upon request either by downloading from the foundation's website or having it mailed or examining it in the foundation's office. The foundation also has available upon request financial information such as performance history, list of investment managers, audit fees, and the body responsible for investment and oversight.”
