“A draft of the 990 is circulated to the executive committee of the board for review and comment before it is filed. A copy is also distributed to the full board prior to filing.”

“Form 990, part vi, section c, line 15a: the president's written contract specifies that he is entitled to annual increases in base salary and an annual bonus based upon performance. As part of the annual review process each year, the board chairman, the other members of the executive committee and the president establish performance goals for the year. At the end of the year, the president prepares a self-evaluation comparing his performance to those goals. The president submits this self-evaluation, along with his proposed increase in base salary and bonus to the board chairman. The chairman, in conjunction with the other members of the executive committee, reviews his self-evaluation and proposed changes in compensation and makes determinations both with respect to evaluation and compensation. The board chairman informs the president of the decisions and any necessary modifications are made to the evaluation to add executive committee comments to the final evaluation. The final evaluation is signed by the board chairman and the president. Alliance's outside general counsel retains the original and fully executed performance evaluations and compensation adjustments, as well as the official and fully executed version of the contract and any amendments thereto. The executive committee presents results of the above process to the entire board. Regarding 15b: n/a - the alliance has no other officers or key employees”

“The alliance does not make its governing documents and financial statements available to the public, except to the extent such documents were attached to its form 1024, application for recognition of tax-exempt status, or its last three form 990s.

“The alliance's member dues solicitation notices contained specific language that the payments were not deductible as charitable contributions. Although the alliance's partner dues solicitation notices did not contain specific language that payments were not deductible as charitable contributions, they included a notice that stated that payments to the alliance would not be tax-deductible because they would be used for lobbying expenses. Because payments for lobbying expenses are not deductible under section 170 or 162 of the internal revenue code, this language should have served as notification to recipients that no part of any payment made was deductible.”
