Governance Explanations

Part VI, Line 19

“The organization does business as Meals for Vets. Two listed persons are sisters: Melinda Froess and Samantha Perez. Each year, all directors and officers complete and sign a written conflict-of-interest disclosure. Disclosures are reviewed by the Secretary (or Governance/Executive Committee). When a potential conflict arises, the interested person does not participate in deliberations or votes, and the Board or committee documents the nature of the conflict and the recusal in the minutes. The organization maintains the signed disclosures and related minutes as part of its permanent records. For 2024, the Executive Director received no compensation. When compensation for the Executive Director or other officers/key employees is considered, the Board (or a committee composed solely of independent directors) uses appropriate comparability data (e.g., Form 990 filings of peer organizations and third-party salary surveys), requires any interested person to recuse from the process, and contemporaneously documents the basis for the decision in the minutes. Program service contractors included in Line 11g (Other) provide meal preparation and delivery for veterans. In 2024, the organization paid the following contractor: Moms Meals $373,868: prepared meal production and delivery for veteran clients. As the amount exceeded $100,000, Moms Meals is also reported in Part VII, Section B.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The organization does business as Meals for Vets. Two listed persons are sisters: Melinda Froess and Samantha Perez. Each year, all directors and officers complete and sign a written conflict-of-interest disclosure. Disclosures are reviewed by the Secretary (or Governance/Executive Committee). When a potential conflict arises, the interested person does not participate in deliberations or votes, and the Board or committee documents the nature of the conflict and the recusal in the minutes. The organization maintains the signed disclosures and related minutes as part of its permanent records. For 2024, the Executive Director received no compensation. When compensation for the Executive Director or other officers/key employees is considered, the Board (or a committee composed solely of independent directors) uses appropriate comparability data (e.g., Form 990 filings of peer organizations and third-party salary surveys), requires any interested person to recuse from the process, and contemporaneously documents the basis for the decision in the minutes. Program service contractors included in Line 11g (Other) provide meal preparation and delivery for veterans. In 2024, the organization paid the following contractor: Moms Meals $373,868: prepared meal production and delivery for veteran clients. As the amount exceeded $100,000, Moms Meals is also reported in Part VII, Section B.
