“The board of directors was provided a draft of the form 990 for review and discussion at the board meeting before the filing deadline. Finance committee was given authority by the board for final approval which was obtained before submission.”
“The organization annually requires the officers and directors to sign-off on the conflict of interest policy. Organization is small enough that noncompliance would be recognized easily.”
“Compensation is compared to similar positions in the local market. Trees forever participates in salary surveys in related industries in order to obtain reports and benchmark data.”
“Compensation is compared to similar positions in the local market. Trees forever participates in salary surveys in related industries in order to obtain reports and benchmark data.”
“Organization maintains their own website. Governing documents are available to the public upon request or from the iowa secretary of state's office. Policies are available upon request. The most current financial statements (audit) is available on the trees forever website. The most current 990 is available on the trees forever website.”

Metrics of accomplishments for each program area are available by viewing our annual report at treesforever.org.”
“Education: we are deeply invested in helping others learn. We provide numerous educational programs that build participants' knowledge of trees and native plants and how these all work together to add beauty, ecological integrity, health and vitality to our homes, schools, farms, businesses and the entire community. Recover, replant, restore: natural disasters take an immense toll on communities. The physical devastation to trees in a community after a tornado, straight-line winds or a flood is a constant reminder of the event and affects the physiological recovery of the community. This program provides grant funding to implement planting projects to rebuild hope and community spirit in areas hit by natural disasters.”
“Footnote from consolidated audit report: the entities are nonprofit organizations as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The entities are subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.”
