“Amended bylaws.”

“The Executive Director and Board Treasurer prepare materials for the Form 990. It is first presented to the Dancing Grounds Board Executive Committee President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, and then presented to the full board at its quarterly meeting in April.”

“As outlined in the organization's bylaws, there will be no undisclosed self-dealing or business by Directors with the corporation. Directors will annually disclose their involvement with the corporation, with other organizations, with vendors, or any associations that might be or might reasonably be seen as being a conflict. When the Board is to decide on an issue about which a Director has an unavoidable conflict of interest, that Director shall absent her/himself without comment from both the deliberation and the vote. Directors will not use their position to obtain employment by the Corporation for themselves, family members, or close associates. Should a Director apply for employment, he or she must first resign from the Board. Directors shall resign if a material conflict exists. In the case of doubt of materiality, the Executive Committee will review the pertinent information to determine if a resignation or the ceasing of the activity is appropriate.”

“Dancing Grounds makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request to the public. It also has a Guidestar account where Form 990s are posted publicly.”

“No documents available to the public.”

“The Prior Year numbers contained in Part I are from a short-year tax return. The organization changed its fiscal year during 2017, therefore the prior year tax return only covered a 6-month period. The Current Year numbers are for a 12-month period.”
