Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“The Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) reviews and approves the Form 990, and forwards a copy to the board chair to distribute to the full board. The board chair distributes it to the full board, and informs the executive director that the Form 990 has been reviewed and approved by the FAC and distributed to the board. The executive director signs the Form 990 and files it with the IRS. The executive director and finance director also review the 990 before it is filed.”

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

“Employees, board members, interns, volunteers, and contractors are required by policy to promptly disclose any conflict of interest to a supervisor or fellow board members. Board members are explicitly asked once a year if a conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest is determined to exist at any level, the interested parties are prohibited from making decisions regarding the relationship.”

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

“Annually, a sub-committee of the board reviews the executive director's self-evaluation, meets with the ED to discuss it and solicits feedback from and meets with senior staff to judge their perspective of the ED's effectiveness. The sub-committee then creates a report and makes a recommendation to the full board on whether and how much to increase the ED's salary and/or authorize a bonus, based on the members' evaluation of the quality of the ED's performance.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Sightline does not make its governing documents available to the public.”

IRS990/MissionDesc0Sightline Institute's mission is to make Cascadia a global model of sustainability -- strong communities, a green economy, and a healthy environment. We aim to set the region's long-term agenda by defining the region's largest sustainability challenges and describing the most effective solutions for meeting them. We equip citizens and decision-makers with policy research and practical tools that help advance long-term solutions to those challenges. When short-term victories appear within reach, we provide allies and decision-makers with facts, arguments, language, stories, and visuals that help secure those wins.
