Governance Explanations

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

“A draft copy of the complete 990 is emailed to all board members 2 weeks prior to a board meeting. During those 2 weeks, board members have time to review 990 for accuracy. All suggestions and questions are communicated to the Director of Operations and changes are made to the 990 based on that feedback. After all changes have been made, the board approves the final 990 at the November board meeting.”

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

“Board members review and complete conflict of interest survey annually and discuss and resolve any conflicts at subsequent board meetings.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Compensation of Executive Director is reviewed by independent board members for comparability and reasonableness and is approved by vote of the board at a board meeting. The discuss and approval is documented in the board minutes. No compensation was paid to board members, only to the Executive Director.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its 990s available online at: www.unitedsound.org/impact. Copies of governing documents (IRS determination letter, by-laws, articles of incorporation) can be requested by contacting United Sound at the address on the 1st page of the 990.”

IRS990/Desc0Peer mentoring program: Production of method training materials (music, books, and other teaching materials) for teachers and students in the United Sound program. We currently have method books available for flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, mallet percussion, rhythmic percussion, violin, viola, cello, and guitar. The curriculum was created with research-based principles in mind. Using colors and foods, the abstract concepts of music (rhythm and pitch) are transformed into concrete steps. The method books include flash cards and other materials useful in helping New Musicians be successful on their chosen instrument. For example, the flute book would include textured stickers that can be placed on a New Musician's instrument to help them feel as well as see the hand position for each note. The Peer Mentors use these method books, along with the training they receive to create a modified, individualized plan for each New Musician. For the 24-25 academic year, 687 New Musicians (students with disabilities and special needs) and 1627 Peer Mentors (general education band and orchestra students) participated in United Sound. Training 1850 volunteers, teachers, students, and aides from participating United Sound schools who donated more than 55,500 hours during the fiscal year for the United Sound program. This training includes the production of training videos that are made available to teachers and students and conference calls with schools to discuss not only the implementation of a United Sound chapter but also on-going support as needed. In addition, our founder and executive director travels to various programs throughout the country to offer support and training. For the 24-25 school year, United Sound had 88 peer mentoring programs throughout the United States. In addition to this, we also give New Musicians and Peer Mentors the opportunity to perform together at local and national events and conferences/conventions.

Through our own experiences, we know that the joy of learning and performing music is life-changing. We believe that all children should have access to meaningful and authentic music education and musical performance experiences.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Composer project - we worked to form strategic alliances with teachers, students, and composers. For teachers, we are working on making the process of finding and obtaining diverse new music easier. For students, we are working on increasing access and opportunity, enabling more young people to play more diverse music at much younger ages. For composers, we are building structure to support the writing and distribution process.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Play with US Program: this program was created as we navigated the "new normal" during the pandemic. Even though our peer mentoring programs couldn't meet in person, our focus still remained on students with disabilities and by extension their teachers and parents. The Play with US program brings the music class directly into self-contained special education classrooms by partnering with schools across the country to provide weekly interactive videoconference music classes. At the junior high and high school levels, general music is typically not an option and electives are being cancelled. Play with US enables special education teachers to participate with their students in an active music-making class that utilizes the existing United Sound curriculum and foundations. In addition to weekly music classes, instrument kits were provided to all participants and their teachers truly making this an interactive and fun class for all. For the 24-25 academic year, we had 46 classrooms/teachers participating in Play with US and were able to bring the joy of music into the lives of over 460 special education students.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0A draft copy of the complete 990 is emailed to all board members 2 weeks prior to a board meeting. During those 2 weeks, board members have time to review 990 for accuracy.

After all changes have been made, the board approves the final 990 at the November board meeting.
