Governance Explanations
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B
“The 990 is provided to the finance committee who then recommends acceptance to the full board of directors. Vote to approve follows.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C
“There exists between the literacy council and its board, officers and management employees and the public a fiduciary duty which carries with it a broad and unbending duty of loyalty and fidelity. The board, officers and management employees have the responsibility of administering the affairs of the literacy council honestly and prudently, and of exercising their best care, skill and judgment for the sole benefit of the literacy council. Those persons shall exercise the utmost good faith in all transactions involved in their duties and they shall not use their positions with the literacy council or knowledge gained there from for their personal benefit. The interest of the organization must be the first priority in all decisions and actions. Transactions with parties with whom a conflicting interest exists shall fully disclose the situation to the organization's executive director (or if she/he is the one with the conflict then to the president of the board) who shall bring the matter to the attention of the board or a duly constituted committee thereof. Disclosure involving board members should be made to the board president, or if she/he is the one with the conflict then to the vice president of the board who shall bring these matters to the board or a duly constituted committee thereof. The board or duly constituted committee thereof shall determine whether a conflict exists and in the case of an existing conflict whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair and reasonable to the literacy council. The decision of the board or duly authorized committee thereof on these matters will rest in their sole discretion and their concern must be the welfare of the literacy council and the advancement of its purpose. All board members and employees are required to complete and sign a disclosure statement certifying they understand and will comply with the policy set forth.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A
“The executive committee evaluates the performance and determines the compensation of the chief executive officer yearly by looking at comparables. Compensation and pay is within the limits established by the board of directors. Salary levels are reviewed by the board of directors annually or as deemed necessary. Eligibility for future pay adjustments is based upon on-the-job performance and the pay limits established for the position.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

Supplemental Narrative
Financial Statement Notes
Schedule D, Page 3, Part X
“The literacy council is a not-for-profit organization exempt from federal income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) as other than a private foundation. Currently the council recognizes income tax positions based on management's estimate of whether it is probable that a liability has been incurred and that an amount can be reasonably estimated. The council believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The council files its forms 990 in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and the office of the state's attorney general for the state of illinois. The council is generally no longer subject to examination by the internal revenue service for years before 2014.”
