“The board has the responsibility for reviewing the organiation's form 990 (including all pertinent schedules) before it is filed with the internal revenue service. A draft of the form 990 is ready for review by the board no later than a week prior to the filing deadline. After the draft of the form 990 has been obtained by the board, they will have no more than a week to complete their review. In conducting their review of the draft of the form 990, the board conducts a top-level or big-picture type of review. However, if the board deems it necessary to conduct a more detailed review of the form 990, then they contact the preparer of the form 990 to requeset copies of the relevant detailed tax return workpapers which they would like to see. Once the board has completed its initial review of the form 990, a meeting or conference call is scheduled with the preparer of the form 990 to discuss any questions, comments, and suggested revisions identified by the board. The preparer of the form 990 makes any revisions to the form 990 as soon as feasibly possible to ensure that the form 990 is filed with the internal revenue service on a timely basis. All questions, comments, and suggested revisions set forth by the board are documended, along with any responses from the preparer of the form 990, if applicable.”

“The board relies on comparability data to determine and approve the compensation of the executive director. The board utilizes resources such as similary situated exempt organizations in their areas to benchmark pay along with market information from other exempt organizations and for- profit organizations to assess the competitiveness and reasonabliess of the compensation. Once a decision has been made, a vote is taken for approval by the board. Recusal of the individuals whose compensation is being determined is mandatory. A similar process is in place for determining compensation of the other key employees, if any.”

Unify coordinated beta versions of festival of thought bay area at facebook, with business leaders in san francisco, and with marketplace leaders at a private venue. The responses were fantastic. Unify is continuing to encourage the networks to pursue generosity, leveraging data, collaborative service work, faith and work initiatives, and cooperative church planting. Coronavirus and lockdown have changed life for churches in a significant way. Unify is helping to mobilize resources and equipping for churches to face new challenges. Unify is also pursuing a new corporate chaplaincy initiative to explore the need and benefit of corporate chaplains or counselors in the bay area. Amplify: amplify has helped to launch care portal, a platform that connects foster care agencies and needs to churches that would like to serve. To date, 156,000 needs have been served to date across the united states. Amplify hopes to see similar results in the bay area. Sonoma county, santa clara county, and contra costa county have all launched. Care portal was also adapted to serve the unique needs that have arisen during covid-19. Amplify is helping on extreme low-income housing collaboration. Multiple churches and properties throughout the bay area are at various stages of building housing. Crossroads church (25 acres), city team potentially, mt. Hermon (45 acres in felton), and salvation army (2 acres) are all working on high density, low-income housing. Amplify took two groups of non-profit and marketplace leaders to texas to see a successful project in austin. Multiply: multiply is working to establish a baseline for church planting in the bay area. There is currently no data to track how many church plants have succeeded and failed and how much money was invested in church planting. Multiply is working on a 10-year comprehensive history of church planting to help churches and networks that want to plant churches understand an execute more successfully. Multiply is also working on real estate solutions for pastors and churches in the bay area. One of the biggest obstacles to sustainable ministry in the bay area is the cost of living for employees the difficulty with securing real estate for churches. Multiply has been convening groups that can help find innovative solutions to these challenges.”
