The Oasis Institute

“Frank jacobs and marylen mann have a family relationship.”

“Barnes jewish hospital acts as the human resources department of the oasis institute. All of the organization's employees are employees of bjc. The institute retains the right to recommend and present qualified candidates as employees but bjc reserves the right to final approval.”

“The form 990 is prepared by a public accounting firm and presented to management. The form 990 is reviewed by the president, and the director of finance and administration and accounting manager of the oasis institute. The finance committee is then provided a copy of the form 990 and questions or concerns are discussed via an in-person meeting or via email. Once the finance committee approves the 990, it is sent to the entire board for discussion prior to filing. Any questions or comments are directed to the director of finance and administration or the president of the organization.”

“Board members are required to sign a conflict of interest policy each year and disclose any potential issues. Those forms are reviewed for potential conflicts and issues are handled on a case by case basis. Historically there have been no conflicts of interest.”

“The director of finance and administration compiles data regarding comparable salaries for positions similar to the president and provides that information to the compensation committee of the board of directors. The compensation committee reviews that data, performance reviews and organizational results. Based on this review, the compensation committee determines the compensation for the president. The compensation amount is also reviewed by barnes jewish hospital, which provides payroll processing services, employee benefits, etc. To the oasis institute. All other employees' compensation is recommended by the president and director of finance and administration. Because all employees are leased from barnes jewish hospital, barnes jewish hospital (part of the bjc healthcare system) also reviews and approves the compensation of all employees for reasonableness. The organization is allowed a percentage of the prior year's total compensation to allocate as raises as determined by the bjc system. Barnes jewish hospital also provides payroll processing services, employee benefits and other human resources services to the oasis institute.”

“The audited financial statements and form 990 are made available to the public on the organization's website and upon request. Other organizational documents, such as the articles of incorporation and bylaws and conflict of interest policy are made available to the public upon request.”
