“The form 990 is prepared by an outside accounting firm and is initially reviewed by the code.org director of finance and controller. Prior to filing, the form 990 is presented to the governing board members for review, questions and comments. Once all board members have reviewed and had all questions answered, it will be signed by the ceo and filed.”

“All board members are asked annually to complete and sign a conflict of interest form. Potential conflicts are noted, reviewed and discussed by the appointed conflicts committee to determine if a conflict of interest exists and if so, how to address it. Where a conflict of interest does exist, the matter is disclosed to the board, and the board member with the conflict is recused from the pertinent discussion, transaction, and/or voting.”

“Employee compensation is determined based on market research, experience and comparable positions. Subsequent compensation adjustments are at the discretion of code.org's leadership team and are determined by evaluating the needs of the organization for retention, promotion, and exemplary performance. Organizational leadership reviews each employee's compensation on a semi-annual basis to ensure that it is fair and equitable, and in line with both the greater employment market, as well as organization peers in similar positions. For leadership team members, compensation is reviewed privately through discussion by the ceo, coo, people operations director, and the board of directors compensation committee. Last compensation review was in september 2020. Mr. Partovi, the president and ceo of code.org, receives only nontaxable benefits for his full time efforts to the organization. His benefits are reviewed using the same procedures as all other employees.”

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements, and the annual form 990 are available on request.”

“Volunteers consist of uncompensated board members and software engineers.”

“The international program funding and resources used to translate curriculum and reach all students complements and expands on our mission that every student have the opportunity to learn computer science. Code.org is a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to computer science in schools, and increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented groups around the world. Our vision is that every student in every school in every country should have the opportunity to learn computer science. Code.org increases diversity in computer science by reaching students of all backgrounds where they are - at their skill-level, in their language, in their schools, and in ways that inspire them to keep learning. We are able to provide an international program by developing international partnerships through which code.org provides curriculum that partners can use, translate, or adapt under creative commons; best practices for implementing curriculum and professional development; and marketing support in countries who are interested in offering computer science in schools.”
