Benevolent and Protective Order of 1986 Bpoe

“The organization has members only and is a non-stock corporation.”

“All members of the governing body are elected annually by the membership at large.”

“The decisions of the governing body are subject to the approval of the membership at large during general business meetings held on the first and third wednesday of each month.”

“The 990 & 990t tax returns are reviewed prior to filing by the exalted ruler and the chairman of the governing body.”

“Neither the top management nor the members of the governing body receive compensation for their services. However, as reported on part vii-a, two officers receive a de minis stipend for the many hours that they expend in completing their duties. Regardless, all compensation is subject to approval by the governing body.”

“See the explanation to line 15a above.”

“The governing documents and financial statements are kept at the lodge and are made available upon request.”

“Throughout the year the organization solicited donations and volunteer time from its members in addition to conducting internal fundraisers to generate funds that the organization expended directly for the benefit of the community. These benefits included national and local scholarship awards; conducting drug awareness programs providing donations in support of the cystic fibrosis program; giving financial aid to local families of handicapped children to help defray the costs of wheelchairs, educational requirements, etc.; farmington youth assistance; and providing donations in response to various other local charitable requests. The lodge members are also active in many patriotic endeavors such as visiting institutionalized veterans and providing them with personal items; and engaging in various patriotic programs such as the flag day observance. Notwithstanding the funds made available, none of the foregoing could have been accomplished without the selfless personal time and effort expended by the members of the organization, as all of the organization's programs are initiated, planned and conducted by member volunteers. Thus 100% of all funds raised are used for their intended purpose.”
