Governance Explanations

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

“There are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“The 990 is provided to the entire board of directors and is reviewed and approved by the president and executive director.”

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

“The center's board reviews the policy annually, requires annual disclosures of conflicts of interest, and requires each member to sign an agreement that includes a requirement for board members to update the board if there are any changes to the annual disclosure as those changes arise. The center's staff handbook contains a policy whereby employees are to disclose any potential conflict of interest to their managers as they arise.”

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

“Irs form 990's of organizations with similar staff size, mission, and budget were compiled as comparability data by the board. The executive director, who also serves on the board, abstained from votes and discussion on salary determination. The process was documented in the board meeting minutes. The organization has no other compensated officers or key employees.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements of the center are made available to the public upon request.”

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part X11, Line 1

“This is the first year the center had an audit so an audit committee was formed which selected the auditors and reviewed the audited financial statements.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The center follows the guidance in the fasb codification topic related to uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that the center has taken or expects to take in its tax returns. Under the guidance, the center may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more likely than not" that it is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The center believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its returns.”
