“The Executive Director reviews the 990 after it has been prepared by outside accountants then sends it to the board of directors for comment prior to filing with the IRS.”
“The officers and directors of TDS are required to report any conflicts of interest throughout the year. Any conflicts reported are discussed by the governing body which decides how to handle the conflict of interest.”
“The salary of the Executive Director is determined by the board of directors. Data regarding the salaries of other similarly sized non-profits is used to compare compensation.”
“The Executive Director sets the salaries of other employees in consultation with the board of directors. Salaries are set based on an existing internal salary scale which is compared to the salary scale of Federal Public Defenders in a similar position of responsibility and in the case of non-legal positions, to other similarly sized non-profits.”
“All governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request.”
“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: The Capital Communications Project implements public education strategies to help increase success in capital litigation.

At the time the 2019 Form 990 was originally required to be filed, the financial statements had not been issued. The most significant change is an increase in contribution revenue and corresponding increase in pledge receivable.”
“TDS holds funds in its cash accounts for the Capital Litigation Communications Project. TDS has limited control over these funds and the receipts and disbursements are not reported as revenue and expenses of TDS.”
