“When the 990 is available, it will be provided to the wisconsin law foundation governance.”
“The state bar of wisconsin (state bar) and the wisconsin law foundation (foundation) are in fact related entities. Furthermore, larry j. Martin, the executive director of the state bar, also serves in the capacity of secretary to the foundation. Because of the related entity nature of these two organizations, it has been determined that mr. Martin's compensation needs to be listed on the foundation's form 990 and disclosed in the applicable related organization sections of the form 990, (e.g., part vii, columns e and f and schedule j, part ii, row (ii) and schedule j part iii). However, it is important to note that the compensation reflected for mr. Martin is not coming out of the foundation but is exclusively due to his position as executive director and therefore paid by the state bar.”
“The policy is one of self-reporting and monitoring. The board of the wlf is renewed every three years. The policy is explained to new board members when their term begins.”
“All documents are available upon request.”
“No change from prior year.”
“Justice on main street, which is displayed in the lobby of the state bar of wisconsin building, is a representation of the tenacity, compassion, and impact of those who dedicate their service to their communities. The carving was gifted to the wisconsin law foundation by myron & rosemary larowe and james & jan gerlach. It previously adorned the exterior of their offices as a beacon of justice and a community landmark from 1976 to 2023. Their dedication to the practice of law and tireless commitment to improving access to justice inspired countless others within the legal profession through their decades of unwavering service and leadership.”
“The foundation has received a determination letter dated august 19, 1963, stating that it is exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and, accordingly, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The foundation does not have any uncertain tax positions.”
