“The Executive Director received compensation as the sole employee until November 1 2021. Compensation was determined by the Board exclusive of the Executive Director at a regularly scheduled Board meeting in 2019. A change was made on November 1 2021 when the full-time position was divided into two part-time positions .The decision to divide the position and set the part-time salaries was made at a special meeting in October 2021 excluding the employees and was included in Minutes of that special meeting. The Board considers the compensation to be not excessive based on their professional business knowledge and experience.”

“When submitting the return for 2020 I submitted the 2020 data using the 2021 form by mistake. The 2020 form 990 was resubmitted using the correct form. I now need to amend the 2021 return with the correct information. All parts and statements of the 2021 form 990 need to be resubmitted.”

“| Explanation:| Texas Ramp Project builds wheelchair ramps for elderly and disabled persons who are in financial need. This gives them the freedom to enter and exit their homes independently. Texas Ramp Project does this by initiating and supporting regional groups who construct ramps using volunteer builders. Ramps are built without regard to race religion ethnicity age or gender. Our vision is that no Texas resident shall lack safe access to and from his or her home because of financial limitations.”
