“The form 990 is reviewed by the organization's secretary and executive director. After this initial review, the return is completed for filing and the completed copy is emailed to the board of directors prior to its filing with the irs.”

“Each director, principal officer, or any member with governing board delegated powers, must disclose any existence of a financial interest to the board of directors or executive committee. The board or executive committee will meet to discuss and vote to decide if a conflict of interest exists. The person with the potential conflict is to be recused from involvement in any discussion or decision for determining if the conflict exists. If it is determined that a conflict of interest does exist, the person with the conflict will not participate in the discussions or the final decision on any situation involving the conflict of interest.”

“Compensation for the executive director was determined by the board of directors after consideration of the duties to be performed, the experience of the employee and the organization's available resources. The compensation was approved by the board, and it was documented in the applicable board meeting minutes.”

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available to the public by submitting a written request to the organization at the address listed on page 1 of form 990.”

“Alive at last's mission is to mobilize communities to equip and encourage survivors of sexual exploitation to build new lives. We accomplish this by training and supporting local volunteers to empower women who have experienced significant trauma. Abuse happens in relationships, and we believe healing must happen in relationships. In safe supportive relationships, survivors learn about their true identity and value as they create their own path to fulfill their god-given purpose. Our relational solution addresses the scope of the problem and our unique model of ministry is built to scale. Volunteers lead small groups that provide emotional and spiritual healing, and volunteers personally mentor survivors who desperately went to change their lives. In 2019, alive at last equipped 80 volunteers and empowered 106 survivors to reach their potential.”
