“Tracy Day (CEO) and Brian Greene (Chairman) are married.”
“Management reviewed a draft of the form 990 and provided edits to the tax preparer. After this process was performed, the form 990 was sent to the full board of directors prior to being filed with the IRS.”
“The Foundation's outside General Counsel distributes the conflict of interest policy and conflict of interest questionnaire to each officer, director and key employee on an annual basis, and follows up with each individual to ensure that the questionnaire has been completed. Each officer, director and key employee is asked to certify annually that he/she has reviewed the Foundation's conflict of interest policy and has disclosed any potential or actual conflicts on the questionnaire. The outside General Counsel reviews the responses to the questionnaire to determine if there is anything disclosed that should be brought to the attention of the Board. The questionnaires are maintained with the books and records of the Foundation. In addition to filling out the questionnaire, pursuant to the Foundation's policy, each officer, director and key employee is required to alert the other members of the Board if a transaction or fact arises that could be covered by the Foundation's policy after the individual has completed his or hear annual questionnaire. If the outside General Counsel identifies any transaction that might present a conflict of interest, actual or perceived, she would confer with the President and Chair to discuss how it should be disclosed to the rest of the Board.”
“A compensation review is done at the time an increase or new hire compensation package is proposed for officers or key employees. A review of comparable salaries based on a recognized study, information from 990s of other organizations and a review of the performance of the officer or key employee is performed to determine if the proposed salary falls within comparable salary ranges. After a deliberation of this matter, a new proposed salary and benefit package is voted on. The minutes of the board of directors reflect the nature of this process.”
“Documents are available upon request.”
“The Foundation does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions. Tax filings for periods ending September 30, 2015 and later are subject to examination by applicable taxing authorities.”

| IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt | 0 | Current Year Facts and Circumstances: The Foundation qualifies as a public charity under the "facts and circumstances test, based on the facts set forth below:First, the Foundation's public support percentage is well in excess of the required 10%. For the past five years of operation (on a rolling 5 year basis), the Foundation 's public support was 23.07%. The following factors also weigh in favor of public charity status under this analysis.Fundraising activities have resulted in broad public sources of support: since its founding, the Foundation has maintained a continuous and bona fide fundraising program to attract funds from the public. The Foundation employs a full-time development staff of three or four employees per year dedicated to soliciting support from individuals, foundations, corporations and government grants. From time to time, the Foundation has also hired independent grant-writers. The Foundation also solicits in-kind product and service support from media companies, advertising services and marketing companies who can enhance promotion for the festival. Through all of these efforts, the Foundation has received financial, media and in-kind support from a diverse group of individuals, corporations, foundations and government entities. Since 2008, the Foundation has submitted multiple grant applications to over 45 foundations and government sources, including the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NYC Cultural Innovation Fund. While not all of these grant applications were accepted, the Foundation has received significant and regular support from foundations such as the Simons Foundation, the John Templeton Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Bill and Ann Ziff Foundation, the Kavli Foundation and the Bezos Family Foundation, as well as from the Norwegian Consulate and Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. The Foundation has also received State and City Funding from the New York City Cultural Development Fund, the New York State Department of Education and the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority. Since 2008, the Foundation has actively solicited corporate sponsors for its activities, reaching out to hundreds of corporations. As a result of this outreach, the Foundation has received financial support from corporations such as Google, Verizon, Con Edison, Credit Suisse, IBM, America's Navy, Knopf, Time Warner Cable, Cognizant, IFF, and Northrop Grumman. Although not counted towards public support, the Foundation has consistently been able to reduce its advertising expenditures through contributions of in-kind media support (valued at $131,308 in 2018) from 7 different news and media organizations and publications, including community-based news outlets WABC, WNYC as well as nationally distributed publications, such as Popular Science.The Foundation also actively seeks individual donors by hosting cultivation events and an annual Gala fundraiser. Since 2007, the Foundation has sent over 5,000 invitations to dozens of events that range in size from 20 to 200 guests. In addition, the Foundation has also hosted its annual gala benefit since 2009. Ticket prices to the gala include a portion allocable towards a charitable contribution. From 2009 through 2018, the Foundation has sent more than 23,000 invitations and funding requests in connection with the annual gala. In recent years, between 300 and 400 people attended the annual gala, and many others contributed but did not attend. The aggregate value of individual contributions from the gala has continued to grow.The Foundation has also sought smaller donations from members of the general public who are interested in attending the World Science Festival and/or visit the website. Since 2009, the Foundation has solicited donations on its website through Network for Good and/or Salesforce. From 2010-2018, the Foundation has attracted $47,609 in public support through these platforms.Beginning in 2012, the Foundation also provi |
