Governance Explanations

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

The prepared form 990 is sent to all directors for review approximately one week prior to filing the return with the irs.

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

Annually all directors and officers complete and sign a statement that provides information regarding their interests and those of their family members that could give rise to conflicts. The members of the governing body make determinations of whether a conflict exists and review actual conflicts. Any person with a conflict is prohibited from participating in the governing body's deliberations and decisions in the transaction.

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

In 2016, the foundation's executive compensation committee reviewed an independent analysis of compensation for its senior leadership positions. The analysis examined compensation for comparable positions baesd on criteria of geography and levels of responsibility. It also reviewed figures for differing non-profit institutions within the foundation's region. The committee deliberated on the independent evaluation's information and the commitee and the governing body voted for recommended compensation consistent with the analysis's findings. The president's compensation was evaluated in 2011 in comparison to comparable executive directors of similar organizations and was adjusted by action of the governing body upward to be more consistent with industry averages. No major raises given to the president after this study was performed. Another study was conducted in early 2015 to compare the president's compensation to comparable organizations.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to the public upon request to the extent appropriate. Audited annual financial statements are available on the organization's website.
