Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B
“There is documentation for the meetings of the governing body. No additional committee meetings are held therefore there is no documentation.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11
“The dictionary project has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. After the form 990 is prepared and reviewed by management, it is provided to each board member of the organization's governing body in sufficient time for any comments or changes to be made prior to its submission to the internal revenue service.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“The dictionary project currently has in place a conflict of interest policy which it regularly monitors and enforces. The board mandates that all members of management and the governing body annually sign a conflict of interest policy and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. If a conflict of interest is determined to exist, management and the governing body will be notified immediately. The member will not be allowed vote or be a part of any decisions about any such transactions that have to do with the conflict until such time there is no longer a conflict. In addition, whenever there is a larger purchase order or a contract for services, the board must approve the transaction. The trustees are required to make full disclosure of any interest or transaction they, their family or organization may have with the organization. The board then decides if involvement would constitue a conflict of interest.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“The compensation of the organization's officers and key employees is reviewed and approved by the board members, an independent body. The qualifications and experience of the individual are also taken into account in conjuction with industry standards when determining compensation.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“The dictionary project makes its form 990 available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code by posting it on guidestar.org (a link to that website is found on the dictionary project's website). In addition, forms 990 and 1023 as well as the financial statements, and conflict of interest policy are available upon written request at the organization's office.”

Supplemental Narrative
Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The dictionary project is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. In addition, the organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(a) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under section 509(a)(2). The financial accounting standards board recommends accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management evaluated the organization's tax positions and concluded that it had maintained its tax exempt status and had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The dictionary project currently has no unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. The dictionary project believes that it has appropriate support for income tax positions taken. Therefore, management has not identified any uncertain income tax positions. Generally, tax returns related to the years ended december 31, 2012 through 2015 remain open for examination by taxing authorities.”
