Governance Explanations

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

“The Open Water Foundation typically emails the draft 990 to Board Members for their review. However, for the 2024 990, OWF operations and revenue have been less than in other years and a full reset of the board needs to occur. Consequently, the OWF CEO completed and submitted the 990.”

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

“OWF business did not include any work other than contracted projects and such projects were independent of board member involvement. No conflicts of interest occurred.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“CEO salary was reviewed by the original Board of Directors and is regularly reviewed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Organizational documents are available to the public upon request.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Open Water Foundation typically emails the draft 990 to Board Members for their review. However, for the 2024 990, OWF operations and revenue have been less than in other years and a full reset of the board needs to occur. Consequently, the OWF CEO completed and submitted the 990.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1OWF business did not include any work other than contracted projects and such projects were independent of board member involvement. No conflicts of interest occurred.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2CEO salary was reviewed by the original Board of Directors and is regularly reviewed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Organizational documents are available to the public upon request.
