Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1A

The President, Vice-President, Secretary, Executive Director and Treasurer constitute the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee has the responsibility of carrying out the directives of the Board of Directors and overseeing the functioning of the Foundation between Board meetings. The Board may, in its discretion appoint other members of the Board to the Executive Committee.

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

Form 990 is reviewed by the Board Treasurer and Executive Director prior to the distribution to the full Board of Directors for discussion before filing with the IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

The Goldy Play Foundation's Conflict of Interest policy covers directors, officers and members of a committee with Board-delegated powers. Annual disclosure of any conflicts of interest is required and monitored by the board's Secretary who is a member of the Executive Committee. Regular discussion at board meetings covers changes to board members relationships with the Foundation's programs. Board members who are 'interested parties' to any topic (i.e. Board members who are Godly Play trainers) are asked by the Secretary to excuse themselves from votes in which they have a conflict of interest.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15A

The Board Executive Committee reviews recommended compensation levels for comparable not-for-profit organizations, and negotiated a reasonable salary with the Executive Director. This was subsequently approved by the Board and is adjusted as necessary during quarterly reviews of financial performance and assessment of the Executive Director's ongoing performance.
