Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization makes copies of the returns and distributes to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an authorization is signed and provided to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed (paper or electronically) with the designated governmental agencies. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped and mailed with certified return receipt or the signed form 8879 is provided to the outside accounting firm allowing electronic filing.”

IRS990/MissionDesc0BIMBAM, FORMERLY G-DCAST, IS A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT NEW MEDIA COMPANY WHOSE GOAL IS TO RAISE BASIC JEWISH LITERACY, AND CREATE POSITIVE ATTITUDES ABOUT JEWISH VALUES AND BEHAVIORS. OUR MEDIA RESOURCES GIVE CHILDREN AND ADULTS MEANINGFUL JEWISH EXPERIENCES. We believe that an understanding of the foundational Jewish values that govern how we treat other people and the planet, provides a blueprint for how to be a good person. We also believe that the more comfortable a person is with their understanding of Judaism and its holidays, rituals and customs, the more they will be able to connect to the community and feel a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves. Activities: We help parents of young children connect to Jewish wisdom as they make choices setting up new homes and raising Jewish kids with our animated video kids series, Shaboom! which engages young children in social-emotional learning through Jewish values. We help curious young adults see the relevance of Judaism
