Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“The chairman of the board, treasurer of the board, and the executive director review the form 990 before it is filed. All members of the board are given an electronic copy of the form 990.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12

“In 2015, sefaria had a conflict of interest policy; however, it was not formally monitored. In the future, the board will require that every member disclose in writing any potential conflicts.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“In december 2014, directors of the board met to review executive compensation as part of the transition from fiscal sponsorship to fully, operations non-profit organization. In 2016, the board is completing a full executive compensation study, comparing sefaria's compensation package to other, similar nonprofit organizations.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Sefaria does not make governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public. Sefaria's 990 is available on guidestar and available upon request. If for example, a foundation or other interested party, wants to see sefaria's financials, including audits, they are shared.”
