IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0Although the organization gives grants to organizations other than its supported organization, there is an approval process that is followed. The grants are approved by Back to the Bible Foundation before distributions are made.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1Distributions will continue to be made only to 501(c)3 organizations with a stated purpose that is in line with the ministry of Back to the Bible. By a resolution adopted by the Back to the Bible board, each distribution request must be approved by at least 3 individuals, each of whom must be an officer of Back to the Bible. The Board of Trustees appoints all corporate officers of Back to the Bible as an authorized person for approving Donor Advised Fund distributions.
