“The Treasurer prepared the Form 990 with the assistance of e-filing software. A complete draft of the Form 990, including all schedules, was provided to each member of the Board of Directors via email prior to filing. The President and Treasurer approved the final Form 990 prior to electronic submission to the IRS.”

“All three voting members of the governing body have family relationships with one another. Waylon Kelley (Founding Director) and Sandy Kelley (Founding Director) are spouses. Billy Kelley (Term Director) is a family relative of Waylon and Sandy Kelley. Because of these family relationships, no director meets the IRS definition of "independent" under the Form 990 instructions. The Foundation intends to expand its board to include unrelated independent directors before the end of its initial five-year period.”
