Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization makes copies of the returns and distributes to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an authorization is signed and provided to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed (paper or electronically) with the designated governmental agencies. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped and mailed with certified return receipt or the signed form 8879 is provided to the outside accounting firm allowing electronic filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“The Executive Directors compensation is set by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors (Board members minus the Board President, who is the Executive Director). The Board sets compensation based on Executive Director performance and benchmarking to other leaders of social enterprises making similar levels of impact. The compensation of other key employees is set by the Executive Director, reviewing performance and benchmarking to similar key roles, with a goal of being a competitive leader to attract and retain key talent.”
