“Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b - No individual committees had or have the authority to make decisions without the approval of the main governing body”

“Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b - Before filing this 990 form, the board was sent a draft in PDF form to review and was given one week to ask questions and/or seek clarification. Once approved by all, the 990 was then signed and submitted.”

“Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c - Our conflict of interest policy is read, reviewed, and renewed by the board of directors as a whole at the beginning of each year. All board members are made aware of the policy and are encouraged to edit and resubmit statements throughout the year as needed. A conflict of interest must be promptly and fully disclosed upon becoming a board member or officer, annually, and whenever an actual or potential conflict arises. The board evaluates the disclosures to determine whether they involve actual conflicts of interest and will follow procedures in the conflict of interest policy if a conflict exists. The person with the conflict of interest does not participate in and is not present for a vote regarding the transaction or arrangement involved.”

“Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 - During the 2022 fiscal year, we had no paid officers, directors, or employees paid over $100,000 so no review process for determining compensation was needed.”

“Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 - All of our governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements were made available upon request. We did not have any requests for this information in 2022.”

“2022 Volunteer Efforts - All volunteer efforts are tracked internally through our Community Loaves website, and we document all donations. Volunteers sign up to be a part of our program; we know how many individual volunteers are acquired over any stated period of time. If volunteers do not engage within 6 months, they are automatically moved to inactive status. Countless volunteer hours are needed to pull off our bread-baking mission. Specific activities and efforts we track include - loaves and energy cookies donated, administrative and financial support, operational assistance, supply logistics, and partnership maintenance. For 2022 these are our volunteer values: Total Volunteers - 782; Total Hours Donated - 150,000”
