Governance Explanations

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

“Staff members Tia Katrina Taruc-Myers, Jay Cumberland, Sue Bennett, Tobias Damm and Erika Sato provide information to complete the Form 990, which is then completed by our auditors, reviewed by our bookkeepers, and approved by the board and the board's audit committee, and submitted.”

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

“We keep track of all organizations and businesses in which directors, officers, and staff members have an interest. When directors, officers, or staff are contemplating a transaction with an interested person, or with an entity that they are members or owners of, we carefully follow the procedures in our conflict of interest policy, which includes deliberating about the matter, exploring alternatives, and voting on the matter without the interested party present. Conflicts of interest are generally identified and reviewed by the board; however, an independent team of staff members also reviews conflicts of interest that arise at the staff level.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“We use MIT living wage data and our compensation is reviewed and approved by the board. Deliberations and decisions are documented.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15B

“We use MIT living wage data and our compensation is reviewed and approved by the board. Deliberations and decisions are documented.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Many organizations have asked to see our governing documents in order to use them as a model. We have provided them upon request. In addition, our internal operating policies and employee handbook are available on our website. We also maintain a page on our website that provides a high-level overview of our finances (income and expenses), access to our 990s, and a copy of our audited financial statements.”
