Governance Explanations

Part VI, Line 11B

Prior to submission of this 990 for Greater Things for 2022, the completed documents were all emailed to board members, and they were given a chance to review and ask questions. After that process was completed, the board members were asked for their approval for the 990 to be submitted. Only then was the document compiled, signed, and submitted.

Part VI, Line 15A

Our executive director, Jana Spicka, has agreed to lead Greater Things for no compensation. This has been the case since our founding in 2015, but annually the board has met with Mrs. Spicka to review whether this is still agreeable to her and good for the organization.

Part VI, Line 15B

The only other officer receiving any monies is Laura Jones Collins (see details in Part VII below) and her compensation is at the same dollar per hour rate as any other 1099 contractor the organization uses.

Part VI, Line 18

We file the complete 990 with the IRS, and the 990 without Schedule B to the state of Tennessee. Each year, after filing, we communicate in all of our regular weekly meetings that the 990 has been filed and we offer an overview of the financial state of the organization and details of the filing. We offer at that time to have any and all documents available for those who request them. Periodically throughout the year, we remind those in our community that we are a 501c3 organization and that all of our records and filings are available either directly from us, from the IRS, or from the Tennessee Secretary of State.

Part VI, Line 19

Our founding documents, including charter and by-laws, are available to the general public by contacting the Secretary of States office Tennessee. Additionally, our annual renewal of our TN Charitable Solicitations approval requires us to provide essentially the same 990 info (less the Sched B), and this is also available to the General Public. Each year, after filing, when we communicate in all of our regular weekly meetings that the 990 has been filed, we remind the same people that they can receive a copy upon request from us directly of our charter and by-laws, as well as any financial statements. Periodically throughout the year, we remind those in our community that we are a 501c3 organization and that all of our records and filings are available either directly from us, from the IRS, or from the Tennessee Secretary of State.

Part VI, Line 2

In terms of family relationships among officers or board members, Jana Spicka and Charles Spicka are married to one another.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Prior to submission of this 990 for Greater Things for 2022, the completed documents were all emailed to board members, and they were given a chance to review and ask questions. After that process was completed, the board members were asked for their approval for the 990 to be submitted. Only then was the document compiled, signed, and submitted.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Our executive director, Jana Spicka, has agreed to lead Greater Things for no compensation. This has been the case since our founding in 2015, but annually the board has met with Mrs. Spicka to review whether this is still agreeable to her and good for the organization.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The only other officer receiving any monies is Laura Jones Collins (see details in Part VII below) and her compensation is at the same dollar per hour rate as any other 1099 contractor the organization uses.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3We file the complete 990 with the IRS, and the 990 without Schedule B to the state of Tennessee. Each year, after filing, we communicate in all of our regular weekly meetings that the 990 has been filed and we offer an overview of the financial state of the organization and details of the filing. We offer at that time to have any and all documents available for those who request them. Periodically throughout the year, we remind those in our community that we are a 501c3 organization and that all of our records and filings are available either directly from us, from the IRS, or from the Tennessee Secretary of State.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4Our founding documents, including charter and by-laws, are available to the general public by contacting the Secretary of States office Tennessee. Additionally, our annual renewal of our TN Charitable Solicitations approval requires us to provide essentially the same 990 info (less the Sched B), and this is also available to the General Public. Each year, after filing, when we communicate in all of our regular weekly meetings that the 990 has been filed, we remind the same people that they can receive a copy upon request from us directly of our charter and by-laws, as well as any financial statements. Periodically throughout the year, we remind those in our community that we are a 501c3 organization and that all of our records and filings are available either directly from us, from the IRS, or from the Tennessee Secretary of State.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5In terms of family relationships among officers or board members, Jana Spicka and Charles Spicka are married to one another.
