Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The draft 990 is provided to all board members prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“All directors are aware that they are required to disclose any conflict of interest and are required to fill out a form with a checklist to determine if the situation meets the requirements of a conflict of interest. Additionally, if there is a concern, the board follows guidelines laid out in the board procedural manual about how to address a conflict of interest. This includes but is not limited to guidelines for meetings of uninterested directors to review a potential conflict of interest and determine the proper course of action, as well as methods to gather information about the situation.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The board independently discussed the employment and salary of the executive director who was not present and did not have any voting power on the matter. The board discussed comparability data and minutes were kept for the discussion.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18

“The organization has form 1023 along with the originally filed bylaws for the organization and form 990 available to the public upon request.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Each year, the board creates an annual report that is posted publicly on the organization's website. The report includes financial statements and a summary of the organization's work during the year. Other documents such as governing documents and the conflict of interest policy are available upon request.”
