“ParentsTogether Foundation has a professional employer organization (PEO) arrangement with Justworks. The PEO files all required federal employment returns.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8B

“There are currently no committees with authority to act on behalf of the Board.”

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

“On an annual basis, board members sign a document acknowledging that they received the conflict of interest policy and agree to comply with all of its terms.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The Foundation used the same process to determine compensation for Co-Director & Co-Founder, Justin Ruben, who serves on the board, and Bethany Robertson, Co-Director & Co-Founder and President of the Board. 1) Staff prepared a Compensation Comparables memo for the Board of Directors which legal counsel reviewed and approved; this memo included analysis of compensation for similar positions in the individual's geographic area as well as relative compensation at peer organizations; 2) A Board Resolution was prepared for each individual's compensation, detailing the total compensation; 3) The Board of Directors (excluding the compensated director) voted on each individual's compensation package after reviewing the Compensation Comparables memo; 4) These documents were all filed in our corporate records.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0ParentsTogether Foundation has a professional employer organization (PEO) arrangement with Justworks. The PEO files all required federal employment returns.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1There are currently no committees with authority to act on behalf of the Board.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The Director of Finance and Operations works with our external preparer to complete the 990. The Co-Founders & Co-Directors review the submission, and then submit it to the Board Treasurer for approval and circulate to the Board before submitting.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3On an annual basis, board members sign a document acknowledging that they received the conflict of interest policy and agree to comply with all of its terms.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The Foundation used the same process to determine compensation for Co-Director & Co-Founder, Justin Ruben, who serves on the board, and Bethany Robertson, Co-Director & Co-Founder and President of the Board. 1) Staff prepared a Compensation Comparables memo for the Board of Directors which legal counsel reviewed and approved; this memo included analysis of compensation for similar positions in the individual's geographic area as well as relative compensation at peer organizations; 2) A Board Resolution was prepared for each individual's compensation, detailing the total compensation; 3) The Board of Directors (excluding the compensated director) voted on each individual's compensation package after reviewing the Compensation Comparables memo; 4) These documents were all filed in our corporate records.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The Foundation makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6Policy Consultants and Other Professional Fees: Program service expenses 581,756. Management and general expenses 45,624. Fundraising expenses 10,800. Total expenses 638,180.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7No changes from prior year.
