“Board member norm bobins and c. Brant ahrens both work for the same non-related company and share a business relationship.”
“The board retains the services of an independent cpa firm to prepare the organization's form 990. Management reviews the completed form 990 and provides a full copy to all voting members of the governing body prior to filing. The governing body is provided a reasonable amount of time to review the return and ask any questions directly to organization or the contact at the independent cpa firm prior to filing.”
“ALL OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ACCORDING TO THE By-LAWS OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHICH ALSO ALLOW FOR THE REMOVAL OF AN OFFICER IF IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE FOUNDATION.”
“The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees determines and votes on compensation for the executive director and all other employees of the Brain Research Foundation. A special meeting of the executive committee was held to review compensation data provided by the "2016 Charity Navigator CEO Compensation Study" to determine the salary for the Executive Director.”
“Governing documents and financial statements are available through applicable governmental agencies; the conflict of interest policy is available upon written request to the organization.”
“Endowment funds maintained to provide a permanent source of income, with the stipulation that principal must be invested and kept intact in perpetuity, while only the income generated can be used by the organization.”
“The Foundation is exempt from income tax under provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Foundation and recognize a tax liability if the Foundation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Foundation and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements.”
