“The Organization's top management official and top financial official each review the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Organization's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS.”

“The Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers, and its key employees who provide a disclosure statement. Such disclosure statement indicates that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, and certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, or (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy. The Organization's President is tasked with obtaining updated disclosure statements from each Board member annually. Any previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy.”

“The compensation of the CEO is reviewed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the CEO. This independent Executive Committee utilizes comparability data and contemporaneously substantiates its deliberations and decisions. Following the Executive Committee's review of the CEO's compensation, the Executive Committee recommends a compensation amount for the CEO to the Organization's full Board of Directors for approval. The CEO is responsible for setting the compensation of the Organization's other key executives. In setting such compensation, the CEO utilizes comparability data and contemporaneously substantiates his decisions.”

“Noncash contributions ("gifts in-kind"), including donated pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, are recognized as revenue at their estimated fair value on the date the gifts are received. The Organization only records the value of noncash contributions over which it exercises variance power. In general, the Organization's management estimates the fair value of donated pharmaceuticals using "wholesale acquisition cost," listed in reference materials including the IBM Micromedex RED BOOK, a widely-used drug and pricing reference guide for the pharmaceutical industry in the United States. The Organization's Management may apply discounts to the prices in the RED BOOK depending on the gift's condition or other factors. For gifts in-kind of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies that are sold in the United States market, the Organization has determined that the U.S. is the principal or most advantageous market for purposes of estimating fair value. If prices for a particular item are not available in the RED BOOK, the Organization estimates fair value using other online pricing sources. The Organization considers the valuation practices used for noncash contributions to be consistent with industry standards. The Organization's policy is to distribute donated pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, and those items are recognized as expenses when they are shipped from the Organization's warehouse or the date upon which the Organization no longer exercises practical control over those items.”

“The Organization utilizes a professional employment organization (PEO) for the payment of compensation to employees and the filing of payroll tax returns with the IRS. The PEO files a combined Form W-3 with the Social Security Administration that includes the Organization's employees as well as other employees of the PEO. The number of employees listed in Part V, Line 2a, is the number of individuals who were included on the PEO's Form W-3 that worked for the Organization during the 2019 calendar year.”

“As a part of the Organization's charitable purpose, the Organization limits receipts of medicines and medical supplies to only those that the Organization intends to distribute to the proper recipients to both save lives and promote health. The amount included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 24a consists primarily of medicines and medical supplies that were contributed in a prior year that the Organization originally intended to distribute, but was unable to distribute to recipients prior to the Organization's internal expiration date, typically 3 months prior to the expiration date of the item.”
