Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“Electronic copies of the Form 990 are distributed to all Board members prior to filing and phone conferences are held with the Business Manager to review the Form. At the annual Board meeting, the Directors entertain further discussion of the Form and the Reviewed Financial Statements as necessary.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“The Conflict of Interest Policy included in the Form 1023 of the Organization remains current and in effect as of the time of this filing. The Business Manager e-mails the policy to all interested persons (as defined), conducts a personal or phone interview to assess policy understanding and obtains annual written acknowledgement of compliance.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“Compensation of the President is based on a comparative market study of similar positions in the Research Triangle Area of NC, performed at the time of organization in 2011. The compensation was set for a 5 year period covered by funding from Oak Foundation USA, and is reviewed with Foundation personnel each funding cycle within the 5 year grant period. As additional employees are hired by the Organization, the compensation amount is reviewed with the Board and with outside funding sources like Oak Foundation USA for reasonableness in light of their experience with other comparable organizations.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“The tax return, Reviewed Financial Statements and governance documents of Learning Outside Inc. are available for public inspection by contacting the Business Manager, Val Komives, at the contact information provided in Part VI of Form 990 (page 6).”

Pt VI, Line 2

“The Assistant Director, a full time, certified employee of the organization, is the daughter of the organization's Executive Director.”

At the annual Board meeting, the Directors entertain further discussion of the Form and the Reviewed Financial Statements as necessary.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Conflict of Interest Policy included in the Form 1023 of the Organization remains current and in effect as of the time of this filing. The Business Manager e-mails the policy to all interested persons (as defined), conducts a personal or phone interview to assess policy understanding and obtains annual written acknowledgement of compliance.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Compensation of the President is based on a comparative market study of similar positions in the Research Triangle Area of NC, performed at the time of organization in 2011. The compensation was set for a 5 year period covered by funding from Oak Foundation USA, and is reviewed with Foundation personnel each funding cycle within the 5 year grant period. As additional employees are hired by the Organization, the compensation amount is reviewed with the Board and with outside funding sources like Oak Foundation USA for reasonableness in light of their experience with other comparable organizations.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The tax return, Reviewed Financial Statements and governance documents of Learning Outside Inc. are available for public inspection by contacting the Business Manager, Val Komives, at the contact information provided in Part VI of Form 990 (page 6).
