Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 1A Delegate broad authority to A committee

The executive committee meets on a regular basis with the President & CEO. It is comprised of the Committee chairs, the Board Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary. While most decisions are approved at Board Meetings, occasionally a time-sensitive issue may arise for which the Executive Committee has the authority to act on behalf of the full board.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B Review of form 990 by governing body

A draft version of the form 990 is presented to the audit, finance and executive committees as representatives of the board of directors for review and approval prior to finalizing for filing. The full board is provided with the final draft of the form 990 prior to filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C Conflict of interest policy

Our conflict of interest policy, including the conflict of interest disclosure form, is completed annually by all board members and staff. The completed disclosure forms are reviewed by the president and ceo. In the event conflicts have been disclosed, they are brought to the attention of the coo and the executive committee of the board. Any such conflicts are disclosed to committees that may be affected by the stated conflict. In addition, conflict of interest forms are also completed by committee members who are community volunteers and not current members of the board. Any individuals with conflicts that may affect a board or committee decision are recused from those decisions.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A Process to establish compensation of top management official

The executive committee serves as the personnel committee of the foundation. The committee evaluates performance of the president and ceo annually, surveying all board members and staff for their written input and presenting the comments as part of the performance review. The president and ceo's compensation for the coming year is determined in a closed session of the executive committee with reference to the annual council on foundations' grantmakers salary and benefits report. The report presents compensation data for officers and key staff positions in community foundations across the united states, categorized by position, region and asset size. When available, other reference sources such as the guidestar nonprofit compensation report are included in the compensation review. The executive committee's compensation discussions and decisions are documented contemporaneously and retained in foundation files. The president and ceo's most recent compensation review was conducted in march 20245 and discussed with the ceo by the chair, vice chair, and past chair of the board.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B Process to establish compensation of other employees

Supervisors reviewed 2024 performance with their team members; any changes to 2025 compensation was reported in q1-q2 of 2025.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public

Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request. Audited financial statements are posted on our website.

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2B Explanation of escrow agreement

Funds held as agency endowments represent assets of other nonprofit organizations that have been conveyed to the foundation to establish funds for the benefit of the organizations. The assets become a part of the foundation's investment portfolio, and receive an allocation of investment returns, as well as investment and accounting expenses. These funds are also assessed an administrative fee. The foundation may receive contributions to these funds from the general public, and the organizations receive periodic distributions from the funds.

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds

Evanston community foundation builds endowments that support its grantmaking and program initiatives, leadership development and related activities for the benefit of the people of evanston, illinois and surrounding communities, now and in the future. Many of our endowed funds have been established by donors to grow in perpetuity while generating annual spending allowances to support specific program areas, designated nonprofit organizations, or the foundation. Board designated endowment funds have been earmarked by ecf's board to grow in perpetuity, while generating annual spending allowances to support foundation operations, grantmaking and programs.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

The foundation is an organization exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and a similar provision of the state law. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The foundation recognizes the consolidated financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The foundation has no on-going federal or state income tax audits.
