Simon House Inc.

“Although Simon House has always community clients with extremely low income, we are able to provide expanded goods and services when we moved to the new leased facility. This is more room for storage of donated items and we have increased the number of case managers to help these individuals. A copy of the 990 and Schedules were reviewed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Simon House prior to sending it to the Internal Revenue Service. The Forms were approved before this electronic copy could be sent. At the next scheduled Simon House Board Meeting, the completed Form 990 and Schedules will be reviewed and approved by the full Board. After that meeting, the 990 and Schedules will be posted on GuideStar.org under the Simon house section.”

“Simon House has a written "Conflict of Interest Policy" which was last updated and approved February 2018. During the 2021 fiscal year, there were no conflicts as described in the policy, by volunteers, including Board members. If there was ever an alleged conflict of interest or even a perceived conflict, it is given a full review by the Executive Director and the Executive Committee of the Board. Should there be any discoveries, the situation would be brought to the full Board.”

“We consulted "Kentucky Non-Profit," an organization based in Lexington, Kentucky, which monitors like staff and mission in the entire state. We also used Indeed that helped us create an executive compensation plan.”

“As mentioned above, we use GuideStar.org to post our 990 tax form for digital access, but copies of the form may be viewed by the public upon request.”

“We are currently having an audit which has not been completed.”
