IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Policy Circle (TPC) served as a Sponsor for the State Policy Networks 2017 Annual Meeting. While TPC strives to focus a majority of its resources on directly funding program services and related professional fees, TPC felt that the event sponsorship was an appropriate use of funds due to the clear overlap in the organizations mission statements and dedication to promoting community-based policy issue education and discussion. TPC actively participated in the sponsored event to monitor firsthand the use of grant funds.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Policy Circle combined two of its programs from prior years, POLICY CONTENT & EDUCATION and EDUCATION ON THE POLICY CIRCLE DISCUSSION FRAMEWORK & POLICY, into a single new program, Policy Briefs and Education, due to their overlap in goals and resource needs.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The form 990 is reviewed by external legal counsel, and then shared with the entire board for their approval.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Each director, officer, and member of a committee with board delegated powers must annually sign a conflict of interest statement. In addition, the conflict of interest policy requires periodic reviews that include at minimum an assessment of compensation and benefits.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THESE ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The organization changed from a cash-based method of accounting to an overall accrual method of accounting for preparation of the Form 990 in tax year 2017. The organization also filed form 3115 for tax year 2017 related to this change in accounting method.
