“Rachel armstrong and tabitha armstrong have a family relationship.”
“The organization does not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”
“The prepared form 990 is reviewed by the executive director and a copy of the return is provided to all members of the governing body before the return is filed with the irs.”
“Farm commons' conflict of interest policy covers all directors and employees. Any director or employee is considered an interested person. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, the interested person must disclose all material facts to the governing body. The interested person cannot be present at the meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. If a conflict that may affect the daily or long-term operations of the organization is identified, either the conflict is removed or the person is asked to no longer serve in such capacity. To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, each director and employee must annually sign a statement that affirms that such person has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, and has agreed to comply with the policy.”
“The performance of the executive director is reviewed by the members of the governing body on an annual basis. As part of the performance review process, the directors review wage comparability data. Once performance review is done, the directors approve compensation for the executive director and document the decision.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
“Research services: program service expenses 35,366. Management and general expenses 0. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 35,366.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | IN 2014, WE HOSTED 6 FARM LAW EDUCATION WEBINARS AND 10 DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS ON THE SAME SUBJECTS. FARM COMMONS REACHED AROUND 2,000 FARMERS THROUGH OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM. WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN HELPING 80% OF THOSE FARMERS LEARN NEW FARM LAW MATERIAL AND ALMOST 60% TO MAKE RISK-REDUCING CHANGES TO THEIR FARM BUSINESSES. WE RELEASED A BRAND NEW WEBSITE THAT PROVIDES MUCH EASIER ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION. WE RELEASED A TOTAL OF 8 FARM LAW EDUCATION VIDEOS/WEBINARS AND ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT FARM LAW EDUCATION GUIDES TO OUR WEBSITE. WE ALSO DRAFTED AND TRAINED AROUND 40 EDUCATORS IN FARM LAW CURRICULA FOR THEIR AUDIENCES. |
