Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“Halifax's federal form 990 is prepared by raffa, p.c., an independent public accounting firm, and reviewed first by the vice president. After the necessary corrections are made, a complete copy of the draft form 990 is provided to all members of the governing body before filing with the internal revenue service.”

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

“Halifax's policy is to evaluate conflicts as transparently as possible, in a manner appropriate to the circumstance. Halifax's board members and staff must take action whenever possible by communicating possible or actual conflicts. It is expected that all halifax staff and board members will hold halifax interest to be primary with all business and ethical relationships.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Prior to determining a compensation increase for the president, a compensation analysis is completed. This analysis is generally compiled by the human resources staff using comparable salary data from three or more nonprofit salary surveys. Additionally, comparable organization salary and benefit information is compiled from federal form 990's from similar organizations to use as a reference. The compensation analysis is provided to the chairman of the board of directors and/or to the compensation and evaluation committee of the board of directors. They provide any recommendations to the full board of directors on a salary increase for the president. This is typically completed during the executive session of a board meeting or through confidential email. Any increase in compensation for this position requires approval of the board. The board chairman then provides a letter or email to the human resources staff on the newly approved salary and effective date.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Halifax makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request and, upon agreement by the board of directors.”
