Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4

During the year, the foundation made changes to its bylaws as follows: (1) the range of members on the board of directors was previously from 10 to 17 directors at any time. The revisions expanded the range from 7 to 20 directors at any time. (2) an additional paragraph was added to the conflict of interest process. It states, in the event that any board member or key employee fails to disclose relationships, positions or circumstances in which he or she is involved that could be, contribute to or be perceived as a conflict of interest, and such potential conflict of interest is otherwise brought to the attention of any board member, it must promptly be disclosed to the board president. Upon investigation and review of the potential conflict of interest, the board president and any designated committee will determine if the potential conflict needs to be addressed and bring such issues to the board if required. The board will then determine if action needs to be taken based on the nature of the conflict discovered.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8B

The organization does not have any committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

The Finance Committee ASSISTS IN PREPARING AND THEN REVIEWS A DRAFT OF FORM 990 THAT IS INITIALLY PREPARED BY THE FOUNDATION'S CPA FIRM. A FINAL COPY OF FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

Management or board members bring any potential conflicts of interest to the attention of the board for review and discussion. The foundation actively monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy and requests each board member to sign annually.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15A

A compensation committee, including the board treasurer and other designated board members, review the compensation for the executive director. In addition, the finance committee reviews the compensation of all employees as part of the annual budget review.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

The foundation furnishes its annual audited financial statements upon request.
