Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The 990 was prepared by MSI Integrity's external accountant in consultation with the Executive Director. Prior to filing, it was reviewed by the entire board of MSI Integrity for accuracy.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Policies are communicated with staff upon hiring and MSI Integrity's Executive Director and staff review compliance with these policies on a quarterly basis.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“In late 2014, external lawyers reviewed pay rates for researchers and lawyers in California and the United States in a similar position as our top employee. The actual compensation level was then independently reviewed and approved by two members of the Board of Directors, independent from the Executive Director. More recently, a comprehensive process for ensuring that appropriate compensation levels began in 2018 and was completed in 2019. This resulted in the creation of organization-wide pay bands for all staff, including the Executive Director.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available at http://www.msi-integrity.org/funding-and-financials/ and upon request.”

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0It is our conclusion that MSI Integrity passes the 10% Facts and Circumstance Test based on the following: 170(A)-9(F)(3)(ii)- Attraction of public support- MSI Integrity's mission is to research the human rights impact and value of voluntary initiatives that address business and human rights, facilitate learning in the field, and develop tools to evaluate initiatives from a human rights perspective. These initiatives, such as Fairtrade and Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil certifications, are relied on by the general public. We provide free assessment tools that are available for the public to use to measure their effectiveness from a human rights perspective. These activities have the potential to attract support from governments and public charities. 170(A)-9(F)(3)(iii)(A),(B)- Percentage of financial support and Sources of financial support- As a young organization MSI Integrity has been fortunate to develop relationships with two large, national, private foundations that have provided continuous support to grow the organization in size and capacity. These professional foundations each have over 100 staff members, and the foundations both have a significant public presence. We have worked with multiple different program officers at these foundations; they are not the result of personal or private relationships with individuals nor are they family-managed foundations. These grants are multi-year in nature and in accordance with GAAP recorded in full when awarded. No employee or board member of MSI Integrity has business or family relations with either of these two foundations, or any of their staff. In addition to the large multi-year grants received from the two foundations, from 2013-2018 MSI Integrity received funding from foreign governments, and individuals. MSI Integrity's fundraising, historically, has been conducted primarily by direct, personal contact with potential donors, carried out under the supervision of officers and directors of MSI Integrity. In the seven year of existence MSI Integrity has grown from one part-time employee to three full-time employees by the end of 2019. MSI Integrity is actively working to diversify its funding sources to build up wider public support, including hiring a Development Coordinator to assist with organizing public fundraising campaigns and to secure individual donations. We have also created a portal for donations from the public on our website. 170(A)-9(F)(3)(iii)(C) Representative governing body- MSI Integrity is governed by a board of directors comprised of five public-interest lawyers and academics who have special knowledge and expertise about human rights and global governance. It does not have any representation from the foundations or donors who support it. We are recruiting additional board members who are members of the community and have special knowledge or expertise in the field of the organization, and anticipate further expanding the board in 2021. 170(A)-9(F)(3)(iii)(D) Availability of public facilities or services; public participation in programs or policies.- MSI Integrity publishes scholarly studies and tools that are widely available and used by colleges, universities, and members of the general public. In 2018, the organization developed a global research network of MSIs to help facilitate dialogue and critical reflection on MSIs among researchers and practitioners. In addition, the staff of MSI Integrity regularly participated in dialogues, conferences and research workshops to share research and good practices.Where possible, all these events, discussions and dialogues are recorded and made publicly available on our website.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The 990 was prepared by MSI Integrity's external accountant in consultation with the Executive Director. Prior to filing, it was reviewed by the entire board of MSI Integrity for accuracy.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Policies are communicated with staff upon hiring and MSI Integrity's Executive Director and staff review compliance with these policies on a quarterly basis.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2In late 2014, external lawyers reviewed pay rates for researchers and lawyers in California and the United States in a similar position as our top employee. The actual compensation level was then independently reviewed and approved by two members of the Board of Directors, independent from the Executive Director. More recently, a comprehensive process for ensuring that appropriate compensation levels began in 2018 and was completed in 2019. This resulted in the creation of organization-wide pay bands for all staff, including the Executive Director.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available at http://www.msi-integrity.org/funding-and-financials/ and upon request.
