Governance Explanations

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

“The Treasurer of the Board reviews the 990 along with the Finance Committee. They recommend changes and ensure compliance prior to submission. The Treasurer presents the 990 to the entire governing board at the first available board meeting. If changes are recommended at that time, then an amended 990 is filed.”

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

“The conflict of interest policy is in every board members manual given during orientation. If any member of the board has a conflict of interest they are not allowed to vote on the matter. Because this is a relatively small board and board members are not financially vested in the company, this is informally monitored. It is up to the board members to determine if a conflict of interest exists.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“Information regarding similarly sized and located organizations is gathered and reviewed by the Executive Committee of the Board (typically this information is contracted for from an independent third party) and is used to establish a base plus benefits package commensurate with that review and attainment of performance goals as reviewed by the Board. Total management compensation is reviewed and approved by the full board annually.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The 990 is available on Guidestar and the audited financial statements, conflict of interest policy, and any other governing documents are available upon request.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Membership - Greater Public continued to serve stations in 2017 with new direct mail copy for fundraising, a new advanced sustaining member toolkit, and a special major giving webinar series from the Veritus Group. We successfully formed new cohort groups for large market planned giving officers and classical and triple-A corporate support representatives. We also formed and participated in shorter term and informal groups for large station marketing professionals, Triple-A fundraisers, and mid-size development directors. We continued important partnerships with non-profit social media expert Heather Mansfield, Cygnus Research and M+R Online Benchmarks. Throughout the year, Greater Public produced 20 webinars, 59 blog posts, and handled approximately 550 individual advising contacts. Greater Public's member services also had to adapt quickly to respond to current events in 2017. When a major funding source was threatened in the spring, Greater Public quickly assembled a suite of recommendations for individual giving and corporate support to help stations explain the budget process to their supporters. Later in the year, a number of our stations were impacted by natural disasters which required our support as well.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Greater Public Direct Services - Greater Public's Direct Mail and List Acquisition Coop Services allow stations to outsource those activities at rates they could likely not achieve on their own, thus helping stations maximize their revenue by keeping costs down. Additionally, participation in these services allows station-based personnel to spend time on other activities that serve their work and their communities.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Treasurer of the Board reviews the 990 along with the Finance Committee. They recommend changes and ensure compliance prior to submission. The Treasurer presents the 990 to the entire governing board at the first available board meeting. If changes are recommended at that time, then an amended 990 is filed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The conflict of interest policy is in every board members manual given during orientation. If any member of the board has a conflict of interest they are not allowed to vote on the matter. Because this is a relatively small board and board members are not financially vested in the company, this is informally monitored. It is up to the board members to determine if a conflict of interest exists.
