Once the form is completed, the accountants provide a draft of the return to the coo for review, and any updates or corrections are submitted to the accountants for review. A revised draft is then submitted to the coo for review. Once the revised draft has been reviewed and is satisfactory, the revised draft is then submitted to the full board of directors for their review prior to being filed with the internal revenue service.”

“All board of directors are required to have executed a written acknowledgement that they have (a) received a copy of acp's bylaws, which contain the conflicts of interest policy; (b) read and understood the policy; (c) agree to comply with the policy; and (d) understand that acp is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must be engaged primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax exempt purposes.”

“They work with haitian children in schools to write and illustrate short stories. Acp has converted several of these books into standalone mobile applications which include the book, audio, student testing and teacher guides. The applications support the haitian creole, french, and english languages. The third type of applications complement digital curriculum material being developed by a french organization called haiti futur in cooperation with the haitian ministry of education. Haiti futur is taking the standardized haitian education curriculum and implementing it in an open-source digital teaching tool called open-sankor. Acp is creating a series of free applications which correspond directly to haiti futur content. Acp's initial focus is in haiti; however, the applications themselves are being developed using framework constructs which means it can easily be reused to support other languages. Acp is seeking grant funding from various organizations to support this program; however, acp will continue funding the effort internally and through donations.”
