“A copy of the 990 is provided to the ceo and the board treasurer who review the form, schedules and related attachments. Any comments or questions are addressed with the preparer. Once management is satisfied with the 990, the ceo signs the form 8879-eo authorizing the preparer to efile the return.”

“All directors and officers complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually. The questionnaires are reviewed by the board president and directors will disclose or work to resolve any actual or potential conflicts. In the absence of resolution, the board president will refer the matter to the board. There were no conflicts of interest identified in 2017.”

“The finance committee reviews and determines the ceo's compensation using comparable data such as charity navigator's formula for non-profit organizations that incorporates information based on performance evaluation. Charity navigator is a well-known research organization that surveys non-profit organizations across the country and creates a standard for the industry. The formula for ceo compensation is based on a number of factors, including: geographic region, size and mission of the organization, as well as annual revenues and performance. Evawi is considered a mid-to-large sized charity, which is defined as a charity with 1 million or more in revenues. Based on the charity navigator formula, evawi's board president makes a recommendation to the financial review committee any time there is a change in compensation and if approved, the recommendation is presented to the full board of director's at a board meeting and a vote is taken.”

“The ceo is the only paid officer or key employee. See 990, part vi, line 15a.”

“Governing documents, policies and financial statements are available on the website.”
