Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm. A draft of the form 990 is presented by the treasurer to the board of directors at the meeting following the completion of the form, or if sufficient time does not allow, email approval will occur. The board discusses the content of the form to ensure that the representations are accurate.”

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

“The conflict of interest policy is reviewed at the first board meeting of the fiscal year. Each board member is asked to sign an annual conflict of interest statement indicating any potential conflict which they have been made aware of under the policy. Signed conflict of interest-annual statements are kept in the foundation office.”

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

“In determining the salary and benefits for the executive director/president the board of directors referred to salary and wage information supplied by the non-profit chamber of service to determine a salary and benefits range for similiar positions in the wichita area. The board of directors then discussed the different salaries and the related positions contained in this information. After this discussion the board arrived at a salary they deemed reasonable for the executive director/president.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“All governing documents, financial statements, and the conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon request. Copies will be made upon request free of charge.”
