Governance Explanations

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

“The finance committee and staff review the return. It is then provided to the full board for review and approval prior to filing the return.”

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

“All new employees, board members, and volunteers are required to sign the conflict of interest policy immediately after inception of the relationship. Each year all board members and volunteers are required to file a new policy statement. Potential conflicts, if any, are noted in the minutes of the board meeting. Board members abstain from voting when there is a possibility of a conflict. Continual monitoring of the business of the foundation and its relationships keeps the conflict of interest policy active and enforceable.”

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

“The board annually reviews the compensation of the staff (executive director) based on performance evaluation in connection with established goals and objectives, and determines compensation reasonableness, thereof, by reviewing data of similar organizations.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

“A copy of the governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in irc section 6104(d). The community foundation's website states that the form 990 and most recent audit are available for review upon request. In addition, requests for the 990, audit report, governing documents, and conflict of interest statements can be made via email or phone call.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4

“To provide resources to achieve the mission and goals of the community foundation for mchenry county.”

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The foundation recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely- than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. The foundation has examined this issue and has determined there are no material contingent tax liabilities. The foundation's federal and state exempt organization tax returns for 2020, 2021, and 2022 are subject to examination by the internal revenue service and the state of illinois. Returns are generally subject to examination for three years after they are filed.”

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0TEN PERCENT SUPPORT LIMITATION: THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR MCHENRY COUNTY (CFMC), WITH A PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE OF 30.34%, IS ABOVE THE 10% THRESHOLD AND WELL ON ITS WAY TO THE 33 1/3% OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT: SINCE ITS INCEPTION, CFMC HAS BEEN ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT PUBLIC SUPPORT. WHILE EARLIER YEARS WERE FOCUSED ON SEED DONORS, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO FUNDRAISE. IN 2023, CFMC HIRED A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AMY HERNON. IN HER SHORT TENURE AT CFMC SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN RAISING FUNDS FROM NEW SOURCES. AMY HAS OVER TWENTY YEARS OF FUNDRAISING EXPERIENCE AND IS WELL EQUIPPED TO SECURE FUNDS FROM NEW DONORS. SHE ALSO RECENTLY HIRED A DIRECTOR OF PHILANTHROPY TO LEAD ALL SUCH ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, CFMC ESTABLISHED A STANDING DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ASSIST IN FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION TO STRUCTURE AND STAFF CHANGES, CFMC IS RE-ESTABLISHING AN EXPANDED GIVING SOCIETY-GIVE360, TO ATTRACT INDIVIDUAL DONORS AT ALL LEVELS. PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT: AS STATED ABOVE, CFMC'S PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT EXCEEDS THE 10% THRESHOLD COMFORTABLY AT 30.34%. THE CFMC INTENDS TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT THROUGH ITS ESTABLISHED ONGOING FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AND THROUGH ITS EXPANDED STAFF. THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE INCREASED FROM THE PRIOR YEAR AND THE CFMC EXPECTS TO PASS THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST FOR THE 9/30/2025 TAX RETURN. SOURCES OF SUPPORT: WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A DONOR, WHO IS CFMC'S LARGEST SEED DONOR, THE CFMC HAS NEVER RELIED ON A SINGLE DONOR OR FAMILY AS A PRIMARY SOURCE OF SUPPORT. THE CFMC HAS STRIVEN TO EXPAND ITS DONOR BASE AND, SINCE 2016, HAS AVERAGED BETWEEN 200 AND 250 DIFFERENT DONORS ANNUALLY. THE DONOR MENTIONED ABOVE PASSED AWAY IN JANUARY 2024. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY: IN RECRUITING AND SELECTING BOARD MEMBERS CFMC HAS SOUGHT TO ATTRACT AN ARRAY OF BOARD MEMBERS FROM EVERY PART OF THE COUNTY. THE INDIVIDUALS REPRESENT A CROSS SECTION OF PROFESSIONS, AGE GROUPS, ETHNICITIES AND SKILL SETS THAT MIRROR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE MCHENRY COUNTY COMMUNITY ITSELF. THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE FULLY INDEPENDENT FROM MAJOR DONORS TO CFMC. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES: AFTER PURCHASING A BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN CRYSTAL LAKE WHICH IS AT THE HEART OF MCHENRY COUNTY, CFMC HAS REIMAGINED AND RENOVATED THE SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE MEETING SPACES FOR LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THIS SPACE, KNOWN AS THE PHILANTHROPY CENTER NOT ONLY PROVIDES PUBLIC MEETING SPACES, BUT ALSO PROVIDES OFFICE SPACE FOR NEW NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY NOT HAVE OFFICE SPACE OTHERWISE. THE CFMC HAS RECEIVED A WAIVER OF PROPERTY TAXES FROM MCHENRY COUNTY ON THE BASIS OF ITS STATUS AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION. ADDITIONALLY, THIS SPACE ALLOWS CFMC TO PROVIDE FREE PROGRAMMING TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT PHILANTHROPY. ADDITIONAL FACTORS PERTINENT TO MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS: THESE PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE CFMC BECAUSE IT IS NOT A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION. ADVERSE IMPACT IF REQUESTED STATUS NOT RECEIVED: QUALIFIED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS ARE A POPULAR FORM OF GIFTING BY DONORS. THE CONTINUED CLASSIFICATION AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION WOULD ALLOW CFMC TO RECEIVE THESE TYPES OF GIFTS. THE INABILITY TO RECEIVE QUALIFIED CHARITABLE GIFTS WOULD BE AN ADVERSE IMPACT. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CFMC TO BE RECLASSIFIED AS A PUBLIC CHARITY IN ORDER TO GROW ITS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC SUPPORT IN WAYS MORE TAILORED TO THEIR SPECIFIC COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND FUNDRAISING CAPACITY.

ADDITIONALLY, THIS SPACE ALLOWS CFMC TO PROVIDE FREE PROGRAMMING TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT PHILANTHROPY. ADDITIONAL FACTORS PERTINENT TO MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS: THESE PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE CFMC BECAUSE IT IS NOT A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION. ADVERSE IMPACT IF REQUESTED STATUS NOT RECEIVED: QUALIFIED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS ARE A POPULAR FORM OF GIFTING BY DONORS. THE CONTINUED CLASSIFICATION AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION WOULD ALLOW CFMC TO RECEIVE THESE TYPES OF GIFTS. THE INABILITY TO RECEIVE QUALIFIED CHARITABLE GIFTS WOULD BE AN ADVERSE IMPACT. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CFMC TO BE RECLASSIFIED AS A PUBLIC CHARITY IN ORDER TO GROW ITS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC SUPPORT IN WAYS MORE TAILORED TO THEIR SPECIFIC COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND FUNDRAISING CAPACITY.
