Governance Explanations

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

“The volunteer accountant sends the final draft of the 990 to the executive director for review. The executive director forwards the final draft by email to each board member before it is filed. The Board is given a few business days to provide review comments. After the review period, the executive director approves the return for filing and the accountant submits it to the IRS.”

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

“There were no financial transactions or decisions during the year that could give rise to a conflict of interest. The executive director and board are focused on making decision which benefit the students and teachers of Fort Wayne Community Schools, so the is little opportunity for potential conflicts of interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request at 1200 S. Clinton Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802. Contact information is also available on the website.”

IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Grants to Fort Wayne Community Schools (FWCS) for musical instruments purchases are supported with a written quote for the cost of the instruments. The Purchasing Dept for FWCS obtains the quote and supplies the Foundation with the documentation. The grant is made for the exact amount of the quote. The Foundation makes sure the granted amount is then used by FWCS to immediately buy the instruments. This is done by observation of the Purchase Order issued to the vendor and subsequent payments after delivery. Grants for band instruction are a reimbursement grant based on actual expenditures as evidenced by detailed expenditure reports from FWCS. The Foundation sometimes receives grants ultimately intended for Fort Wayne Community Schools. The Foundation simply passes through those grants to the District as the donor intended.
