Governance Explanations

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

No other committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body during 2017.

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

The board of directors reviews and approves the form 990 prior to its filing. The form 990 was authorized and signed by the organization's board chair.

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

The board of directors requires an annual declaration from all board members and senior management as to the existence and disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. The board members sign a disclosure statement. Any potential conflicts are discussed by the dis-interested board members, while the party in potential conflict is required to leave the room. Board meeting minutes will document the discussion and decision making process. In the event of a potential conflict, procedures to obtain competitive bids and diligence on fair market value will be established.

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

Process for hiring new staff that consists of the leadership team (director-level staff) defining and approving a job description and salary range, with board input on postings for director-level staff, soliciting potential candidates via advertisement and networking, and candidate interviews. Please note that when changes to the executive director's salary are discussed, the board conducts these discussions during an executive session at which the executive director is not present.

IRS990/Desc0BFP BRINGS TOGETHER MEMBER STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS IN A POWERFUL GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT TO SHIFT SOCIETY BEYOND COAL, OIL, AND GAS AND ACHIEVE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR ALL. BY EMPOWERING, CONNECTING, AND ACTIVATING LEADERS ACROSS THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT, BFP IS HELPING TO BUILD A SOCIAL MOVEMENT THAT CAN CONFRONT THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY AND SHOW OUR LEADERS THAT WE DEMAND BOLD ACTION IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS.OUR TWO MAIN ACTIVITIES FOR 2017 WERE 350 MASS FOR A BETTER FUTURE AND CAMPUS ORGANIZING.350 MASS HELD A SERIES OF FIVE TRAININGS THROUGHOUT EARLY 2017 TO SUPPORT OVER 250 NEWLY INTERESTED CLIMATE ACTIVISTS WITH SKILLS AROUND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AS WELL AS EXPLANATIONS OF THE LOCAL CLIMATE SCENE. IN APRIL, WE SERVED AS THE PRIMARY CONVENER OF THE PEOPLE'S CLIMATE MOBILIZATION IN BOSTON, WHICH WORKED WITH A DIVERSE AND POWERFUL COALITION TO TURN OUT 5,000 PARTICIPANTS TO THE BOSTON EVENT. WE ALSO SENT 11 BUSES FULL OF CLIMATE CHAMPIONS (INCLUDING 7 FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS AND 4 FROM PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING YOUTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE GROUPS) TO A SIMILAR NATIONAL EVENT IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WE SUPPORTED VOLUNTEERS IN THE CREATION OF 5 NEW NODES OF 350 MASS TO SUPPORT SCORES OF ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS WITH GEOGRAPHICALLY CLOSER OPTIONS TO ENGAGE IN OUR WORK. WE HELPED ENGAGE LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS AROUND THE THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLIMATE SOLUTIONS. WE ALSO ENGAGED IN A HIGH-VISIBILITY CAMPAIGN TO ENCOURAGE OUR GOVERNOR, CHARLIE BAKER, TO SPEAK OUT AROUND THE DECISION TO WITHDRAW THE UNITED STATES FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT, SECURING HIS STATED OPPOSITION TO THAT, AND FURTHER ENGAGED IN EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO INCREASE HIS OWN CLIMATE LEADERSHIP.OUR CAMPUS DIVESTMENT PROGRAM CONTINUED SUPPORTING THE WORK OF STUDENT CLIMATE LEADERS AT 12 UNIVERSITIES AROUND MASSACHUSETTS, PROVIDING THESE STUDENT LEADERS WITH ORGANIZING TRAININGS, PERSONALIZED MENTORSHIP, AND CONNECTIONS WITH PEERS AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS. DURING THE SUMMER, WE HOSTED 12 STUDENTS WITH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THROUGH OUR SUMMER FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, IN WHICH STUDENTS DESIGNED AND EXECUTED A CAMPAIGN PRESSURING A LOCAL ICONIC BOSTON INSTITUTION TO DIVEST FROM FOSSIL FUELS, WHICH ENDED WITH A PUBLIC COMMITMENT FROM THEM TO CONSIDER DOING IT. FINALLY, WE ALSO CONVENED AND COORDINATED A NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION WITH 12 CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY (SIX FROM MA UNIVERSITIES AND SIX FROM OTHER STATES) TO LINE UP WITH THE UN CLIMATE CONFERENCE TAKING PLACE IN NOVEMBER.
