Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

“A copy of this form was provided to the organization's president for her review and signature. Subsequently, a copy was provided to each voting board member.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

“As part of the annual meeting of the board of directors,conflict of interest statements are distributed and signed. Any actual conflicts or potential conflicts are addressed, and resolved. The conflict of interest policy also applies to staff. Staff are made aware of the policy at the beginning of their employment. The relatively small size of the staff, and the openness of the board, facilitates management's monitoring of conflicts of interest. Management has remained vigilant and aware, and as such, has not thus far enountered a problem in this area.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

“The organization's president is reviewed annually by the executive committee. Management believes that all compensation and benefits are reasonable.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

“Each employee receives an annual review by their immediate supervisor.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

“The organization has a policy of making its governing documents and conflict of interest documents/policies,annual audit, form 990, and the state form ag990-il available to the public upon request. Many of these documents are accessible on the internet.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Public narrative is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Public narrative has also been classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) and qualifies for deductible contributions as provided in section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi). There was no unrelated business income nor unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended june 30, 2024. Each of the organization's prior three years remains subject to examination by the internal revenue service. The organization has evaluated its tax positions for all open tax years. Based on the evaluation of the organization 's tax positions, management believes all tax positions taken would be upheld under an examination. Therefore, no provision for the effects of uncertain tax positions has been recorded for the year ended june 30, 2024.”
