Governance Explanations

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

“No committee is authorized to act on behalf of the governing body.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“The 990 is reviewed by the Executive Director and the Director of Finance. The Director of Finance compares the information in the 990 to the annual audit report for accuracy and addresses any inconsistencies found with the auditor; any necessary corrections would be made prior to filing. The 990 is available to any board member upon request.”

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

“All staff and board members are required to review the conflict of interest policy and complete and sign a conflict of interest statement at the beginning of each fiscal year. New hires and any new board members added during the year are also given this policy and are required to complete and sign the conflict of interes statement. This statement includes disclosure of all current and potential conflicts of interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15A

“The policy of DUG is to have the Board of Directors conduct a performance review of the Executive Director, which includes a self-evaluation from the Executive Director. The Board then reviews the annual budget and financial information and on occasion does a review of prevailing market rates for a similar position, the conclusions of which come in the form of documentation of any potential increase in salary in the Board meeting minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Financial information is available through the websites of GuideStar and the Colorado Secretary of State. Governing documents and conflict of interest policy documents are on file in the DUG office and are available for public review as requested by the general public and grant sources.”

Financial Statement Notes

“The consolidated financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of December 31, 2016, Denver Urban Gardens had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Denver Urban Gardens is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.”

“The audit reports fundraising income in full. The 990 presents net income.”

Part XII, Line 2D - Other Adjustments:

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0New Community Gardens and Expansions of Existing Sites: DUG comes alongside residents, schools, and stakeholders when they wish to further develop their neighborhood and have taken a thorough approach to understand if they have the capacity to create, implement, and sustain a community garden. Often times, after a community garden has been successful for several years and waitlists for participation exist, a garden may elect to expand the site to allow for increased community participation. DUG is thrilled to again, come alongside these efforts and support the expansion of the garden.
