“J. Sergio Bohon, Director, has an indirect business relationship with Nefertiti U. Long, Vice Chair of the Board.”

“The Form 990 review process starts with a presentation by the tax preparer to the Audit Committee, the CFO, the Sr. VP of Finance and Stewardship, and the President of The Inland Empire Community Foundation. Once satisfied with the completion of the Form 990, the draft will be made available to the Board of Directors via the IECF Board Member Portal and the audit committee will make a recommendation that the Executive Committee or the Board of Directors accept the Form 990 for filing. The forms will be signed by the President and filed with the Internal Revenue Service.”

“Conflict of Interest forms are distributed to all staff and members of the Board of Directors of The Inland Empire Community Foundation annually. The forms are signed by officers and directors, then collected and reviewed by the SVP of Finance and Stewardship and the President. Items of note (if any) are brought to the attention of the Executive Committee for follow-up.”

“The Compensation Committee gathers appropriate salary survey information from organizations including, but not limited to, the Council on Foundations, the League of California Community Foundations and others. Local conditions are also taken into account. The Compensation Committee makes a recommendation to the Executive Committee regarding CEO and staff pay ranges, and specifically about CEO pay and other benefits. The Executive Committee has Board authorization to determine the President and CEO's compensation package, within ranges approved by the Board. The President and CEO determines the annual salaries of other officers and key employees using the ranges approved by the Compensation Committee.”

“Once the Foundation's Audited Financial Statements have been accepted by The Board of Directors, they are posted to the Foundation's website as well as on Guidestar, a nonprofit database. Once the Form 990 and 990-T (if applicable) are filed with the Internal Revenue Service, public copies of the completed forms are posted on the Foundation's website and also uploaded to Guidestar. The current forms, as well as prior year forms, and other governing documents are also available at the Foundation's office upon request; as is the Foundation's Conflict of Interest Policy.”

“During the 2021-22 and 22-23 academic year, Youth Grantmakers across the two-county region met virtually to strengthened their leadership skills as they participated in philanthropy, giving away over $30,000 to nonprofits that are working on issues of concern to students in Inland Empire high schools. Students learned to review a grant application, respectfully debate the most critical needs while learning to listen to others' perspectives, and prioritize the many worthwhile requests.”
