Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“The corporation shall have one class of members. Any natural person, corporation, association, or other organization may become a member of the corporation by making a monetary contribution to the corporation in an amount not less than ten dollars ($10.00) or other such minimum amount as may be prescribed by resolution of the board of directors. All members of the corporation shall be entitled to receive a newsletter and shall be accorded such additional benefits as may be authorized by resolution of the board of directors. The members of the corporation shall not have any voting rights.”

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

“The form 990 is reviewed by the audit committee and the general counsel and is then provided to the full governing body prior to filing.”

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

“On an annual basis, each director, officer and employee has a duty to avoid any circumstances that would violate the letter and spirit of the policy. Senior management reviews any transactions that may pose a potential conflict of interest for employees, and the board of directors reviews any transaction that may pose a potential conflict of interest for senior management. Independent members of the board review any transactions that may pose a potential conflict of interest for board members.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“On an annual basis, the compensation of the top management official, other officers, and key employees of the organization is reviewed and approved by independent members of the governing body of the organization. The comparability data used in the review is taken both from form 990's of other organizations as well as from compensation surveys and studies. The basis of the determination of compensation is then documented.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public upon request.”

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The audit oversight process has remained unchanged from the previous year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Cagw is generally exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the code) and comparable state law, and contributions to it are tax deductible within the limitations prescribed by the code. Cagw has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under section 509(a)(1) of the code. Cagw is exempt from taxes on income other than unrelated business income. Management believes that each entity has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements.”
