Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“Rif's finance/audit committee of the board of directors reviews the federal form 990. It is then distributed to the entire board of directors before it is filed with the internal revenue service (irs).”

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

“Rif's conflict of interest policy ("policy") applies to board members, officers and rif senior managers (collectively "rif insiders"). The policy requires that a rif insider disclose any potential conflict to the board of directors or a designated committee of the board. Violations of the policy will result in appropriate disciplinary and corrective action, up to and including dismissal. Rif insiders are required to annually sign a statment affirming that he or she: - has received a copy of the policy, - has read and understands the policy, - has agreed to comply with, and has complied with the policy, - understands that rif is a charitable and educational organization and that, in order to maintain its federal tax exemption and preserve rif's valuable reputation, rif must engage primarily in activities that accomplish its tax exempt purpose.”

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

“To begin the annual evaluation of the president and ceo, the chair of the board first solicits input from all board members concerning the president's performance. The executive committee then considers the input of the responding board members in its review of the president and ceo, and reports back to the board of directors its evaluation. The executive committee then shares its evaluation with the president and ceo. The executive committee then consults comparability surveys to determine the president and ceo's compensation for the next year.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Rif submits its audited financial statements, federal form 990 and irs letter of determination (of rif's tax exempt status) to guidestar for publication on that service. Rif also publishes its federal form 990 on its own website. To date, rif has not published its conflict of interest policy for access by the general public. All documents, including our governing documents, the federal forms 1023 and 990-t are also available upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“Earnings from the endowment funds are recorded and made available for operations through an annual allocation of up to 5% of the fund. The allocation is based on a three-year rolling average of the investment's market value, determined as of march 31 of the year prior to the budget year. Each year, as part of rif's budgeting process, rif reviews the appropriate level of payout for the following fiscal year. Fund disbursements are paid at the end of each quarter in the fiscal year. Each fund's operating income is utilized as set forth in the specific applicable endowment agreement. The general endowment fund's income is utilized for general operations.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Rif performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the years ended september 30, 2016 and 2015, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status.”
