“Each member of the board of directors is provided with a draft of form 990 which is prepared by a selected accounting firm in close consultation with the board of directors. Each board member is asked to carefully review form 990 prior to a board meeting. At the board meeting, the board members will discuss any questions they may have concerning the form and if necessary contact the accountants or a tax attorney for clarification. If the board members approve the draft, the president of the foundation will be authorized to sign the form 990 and to submit it for filing with the irs.”

“Each director and principal officer shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person: has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands the charity is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. If a conflict of interest exists, the board of directors shall consider all reasonable alternatives and, after due diligence, the board of directors (other than the interested person and outside the interested person's presence) shall determine whether the transaction, relationship or compensation arrangement is nonetheless fair, reasonable and in the corporation's best interests, provided that such transaction, relationship or compensation arrangement does not otherwise give rise to an excess benefit transaction, self-dealing or private inurement that would jeopardize the corporation's tax-exempt status or subject it to excise tax under chapter 42 of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended. Violations of this conflict of interest policy shall be grounds for removal as a director, officer or employee.”

“Compensation was confirmed following detailed analysis of comparability data and a meeting of the board of directors in 2016 at which the comparability data was reviewed along with a compensation analysis and the hiring decision was ratified by the board based on a formal voting of board members for the executive vice president's compensation. This process was documented in the board minutes and board resolution. For all senior leadership, compensation is revisited yearly during performance review processes.”

“The organization makes its form 990 available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. The return is posted on guidestar.org and other similar types of websites.
