Governance Explanations

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

Form 990 is reviewed by the management and the finance committee prior to filing to ensure accuracy.

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

The finance committee, with special emphasis on the executive director,associate director, and director of finance, are to be held responsible for ensuring compliance. Each individual is responsible for noting if any potential vendors are related to bffc staff or board members, or if conducting business with such vendors could benefit bffc staff or board members.

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

Bffc strives to maintain competitive salaries for all staff members. The executive director's compensation is based upon the salaries of other executive directors in the greater boston area with similar levels of staffing and funding. Those numbers, in conjunction with the finance committee's analysis of how salary levels will affect the financial sustainability of bffc, then produces a proposal for the salary of the executive director. The salary proposal is then presented, discussed, possibly modified, and ultimately approved or rejected by the board of directors.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization, incorporated under chapter 180 of the massachusetts general laws as a tax-exempt entity, has been granted tax-exempt status under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3), and is, therefore, generally exempt from federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements. The organization is required by asc 740-10, "income taxes," to evaluate and disclose tax positions that could have an effect on the organization's financial statements. The organization reports its activities to the internal revenue service and to the commonwealth of massachusetts on an annual basis. These informational returns are generally subject to audit and review by the governmental agencies for a period of three years after filing. Substantially all of the organization's income, expenditures and activities relate to its exempt purpose, therefore, management has determined that the organization is not subject to unrelated business income taxes and will continue to qualify as a tax exempt not-for-profit entity.
