Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part I, Line 4 and Part VI, Line 1B

“The President, Michael Roberts, is a voting member of the governing body, but is compensated through the organization. Therefore, he is not considered an independent voting member of the governing body.”

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

“Board members are presented with draft copies of the Form 990 and all schedules and attachments. They are asked to review and approve the Form 990 before it is filed with the IRS.”

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

“The bylaws provide the conflict of interest policy for board members. The employee handbook provides the conflict of interest policy for employees. Board members verbally disclose conflicts of interest. Board members are required to complete annual conflict of interest questionnaires.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“Board members approve the President's salary and are informed of the salaries of other key employees. They are all familiar with the not-for-profit sector and the environment in which First Nations works and from which it recruits employees. Therefore, the board has sufficient knowledge to evaluate and approve these salaries.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The audited financial statements and Form 990 are available at the Organization's website. Governing documents, financial statements and the conflict of interest policy are also available from the Organization upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0Nourishing Native Foods & Health - First Nations recognizes that accessing healthy food is a challenge for many Native American children and families. Without access to healthy food, a nutritious diet and good health are out of reach. To increase access to healthy food, we support tribes and Native communities as they build sustainable food systems that improve health, strengthen food security and increase the control over Native agriculture and food systems. First Nations provides this assistance in the form of financial and technical support, including training materials, to projects that address agriculture and food sectors in Native communities. First Nations also undertakes research projects that build the knowledge and understanding of Native agriculture and food systems issues, and inform Native communities about innovative ideas and best practices. We also participate in policy forums that help develop legislative and regulatory initiatives within this sector. First Nations supports a regional and national network of Native food sector and related organizations. First Nations conducts its work in this area under its broad Native Agriculture and Food Systems Initiative (NAFSI).

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Strengthening Tribal & Community Institutions - Through grant support, technical assistance and training, First Nations provides tribes and Native communities with the tools and resources necessary to create new community-based nonprofit organizations and to strengthen the capacity of existing nonprofits and tribal agencies or departments. For 36 years, First Nations has supported hundreds of model projects that help revitalize Native communities, while integrating social empowerment and economic strategies. First Nations believes that by bolstering tribal and community institutions, we are helping to build economically stronger and healthier Native communities for the long term. An essential component of First Nations' nonprofit capacity-building strategy is our Leadership, Entrepreneurial, and Apprenticeship Development (L.E.A.D.) Institute Conference that trains emerging and existing Native nonprofit leaders, including staff members from many of our grantee organizations. For 21 years, First Nations has held an annual L.E.A.D. Institute Conference for Native American nonprofit professionals, tribal leaders and anyone interested in Native nonprofits, business and philanthropy.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Investing in Native Youth - First Nations believes that Native youth represent the future of Native communities, and that their health and well-being determine the future health and well-being of a community overall. By investing in youth and giving them a sense of place and tradition in the community, a community ensures that it will have bright and capable future leaders. First Nations invests in Native youth and their families through many programs, but the cornerstone of our youth efforts is the Native Youth and Culture Fund, which annually provides grant support to numerous youth-related projects. We also have a range of financial education programs that are specifically geared toward Native youth, including the Crazy Cash City reality fair and the $pending Frenzy workshop. The goal is to provide programs that meet youth where they are, support them in accomplishing their goals and dreams, and prepare them for an empowered adulthood guided by their cultures, families and traditions.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Advancing Household & Community Asset-Building Strategies - First Nations works with our national and local partners to identify, develop and implement household and community asset-building strategies that empower Native people. Working with our community partners in tribal colleges and community development financial institutions (CDFIs), we share ideas through peer learning and we finance program development through our grant making program. Working with our national and regional partners, we have helped share information about household asset-building programs such as Individual Development Accounts, Children's Savings Accounts, and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites. We also conduct research on issues related to predatory lending in Native communities and work to raise awareness of this problem. First Nations' programs help move families and communities toward financial security. To create systemic economic change, First Nations also works with Native American communities to develop new businesses and services, and reclaim direct control of assets. We seek to help communities understand, create and control the way in which Native assets are valued, as well as the decision-making process in deciding whether to monetize those assets.Achieving Native Financial Empowerment - First Nations and its independent subsidiary, First Nations Oweesta Corporation (a community development financial institution), work in partnership with Native American tribes and communities throughout the U.S. to assist them in designing and administering financial and investor education programs. Our projects range from helping individuals and families understand the basics of financial management opening and maintaining a bank account and using credit wisely to helping individuals understand financial markets and a variety of financial instruments for borrowing and saving. Learning how to manage finances ensures that Native people will be more likely to save and invest. Our programs result in increased investment levels and economic growth in Native communitiesFirst Nation Oweesta Corporation - First Nations Oweesta Corporation's mission is to provide opportunities for Native people to develop financial assets and create wealth by assisting in the establishment of strong, permanent institutions and programs contributing to economic independence and strengthening sovereignty for all Native communities. Oweesta is the only existing Native CDFI (community development financial institution) intermediary offering financial products and development services exclusively to Native CDFIs and Native communities. Specifically, Oweesta provides training, technical assistance, investments, research, and policy advocacy to help Native communities develop an integrated range of asset-building products and services, including financial education and financial products. Native CDFIs provide Native American communities the tools and capital support required for real and sustainable job creation, small business development, commercial real estate development, and affordable housing/home ownership, while also offering basic banking services and financial literacy training to "underbanked" Native American communities who have been historically targeted by predatory lending practices.
