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 11B

“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 to 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 constitute 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 conjunction 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

Additional Explanations

From 990, Part XII, Line 2C

“The process has not changed from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and exempt from state income taxes under the laws of south carolina. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided for. 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 (fasb) provides guidance on the organization's evaluation of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management evaluated the organization's tax position and concluded that the organization had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. 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, 2014 through 2016 remain open for examination by taxing authorities.”

IRS990/Desc0THE DICTIONARY PROJECT FUNCTIONS AND STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD ARE ABLE TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF OWNING A DICTIONARY. PROGRAM EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON ASSISTING ALL PEOPLE IN BECOMING GOOD WRITERS, ACTIVE READERS, CREATIVE THINKERS, AND RESOURCEFUL LEARNERS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL DICTIONARY. AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE BELIEVE THAT A DICTIONARY IS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR A QUALITY EDUCATION, AND THAT ONE CANNOT DO THEIR BEST WORK WITHOUT A DICTIONARY. THE DICTIONARY PROJECT MAKES PEOPLE SELF-RELIANT BY PROVIDING THEM WITH A RESOURCE THAT SERVES TO HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND FURTHER DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION OF THE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE FORMED WITH WORDS. DURING 2017, APPROXIMATELY 1,825,000 DICTIONARIES WERE GIVEN TO STUDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD. WITH THIS RESOURCE, PEOPLE CAN BECOME MORE SELF-RELIANT AND BE BETTER ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THEIR UNIQUE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, BY SHARING THEIR MOST INNATE GIFTS WITH OTHERS.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THERE IS DOCUMENTATION FOR THE MEETINGS OF THE GOVERNING BODY. NO ADDITIONAL COMMITTEE MEETINGS ARE HELD, THEREFORE THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE 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.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE 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 TO 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 CONSTITUTE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THE 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 CONJUNCTION WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS WHEN DETERMINING COMPENSATION.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4THE 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).
