Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“Jacob a. Marlin, president/executive director, and kelly k. Marlin, vp/treasurer, have a family relationship.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“Bfree does not have the institutional capacity for such a process to occur and the board of directors function on their own without a secondary committee.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“The executive director and director of organizational development review the federal form 990 for accuracy and content before filing with the internal revenue service.”

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

“The monitoring of the conflict of interest policy is accomplished though review of financial activities by the board of directors using normal operating procedures. A conflict of interest may exist where a director is directly or indirectly a party to a transaction, if the other party to the transaction is an entity in which the director has a material financial interest or of which the director is an officer, director or general partner. Where a possible conflict of interest exists, the director with the conflict shall ensure that the material facts of the transaction are known or disclosed to the directors, committee members or members who authorize, approve, or ratify the transaction. This director shall abstain from voting on any such actions where a potential conflict of interest may exist.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“These documents are available to the public by request and on an as needed basis.”
