Any member of the board may question another board member as to conflict of interest, and the board of directors as a whole will determine whether a conflict of interest exists.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

Endowment funds are held for the purpose of continuing the administration and program activities of the northwest minnesota foundation.

PART X, LINE 2:

The foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code.

In addition, the foundation qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a) and have been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation. The foundation is also exempt from minnesota income taxes. The foundation evaluates all significant tax positions as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the united states. Management does not believe it has taken any positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability, nor do they believe there are any unrealized tax benefits.
