Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“Two of benetech's directors, james r. Fruchterman and james kleckner, are also directors and have financial interests in raf technology, inc., a for-profit company located in redmond, washington.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“The bylaws of beneficent technology, inc. State "one director of this corporation shall be designated by the designator from time to time", therefore the designator had the authority to elect one member of the governing body.”

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

“The cfo receives a copy of the form 990 from the preparer and conducts the first review of the form for accuracy. A copy of the draft 990 is then provided to the ceo, all board members, and the vp of hr for their review, edits, and comments. The cfo then incorporates any comments and edits received, if necessary. Any edits or changes are appropriately communicated to the preparer and once finalized, the final form 990 is signed off by the cfo.”

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

“Each key employee, officer, and director is expected to read and sign annually the company's conflict of interest policy and code of conduct policy which are then reviewed by the governance committee of the board and then filed with its minutes. If a conflict exists, the board or the appropriate committee shall follow the procedures set forth in the conflict of interest policy to appropriately protect benetech's interests.”

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

“The governance committee of the board of directors annually reviews comparable compensation information, and compensation of the ceo and cfo, and recommends any changes for full board approval.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Annual audited financials are made available to the public by posting to benetech's website after board approval. Available upon request are audited financials, governing documents, and conflict of interest policy.”

IRS990/Desc0GLOBAL LITERACY: BENETECH'S GLOBAL LITERACY PROGRAM STRIVES TO MAKE LITERACY AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. THIS IS DONE THROUGH THREE INITIATIVESBOOKSHARE: BOOKSHARE IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST ONLINE LIBRARY OF BOOKS AND NEWSPAPERS ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE PRINT DISABILITY - BLINDNESS, LOW VISION, A MOBILITY IMPAIRMENT OR A LEARNING DISABILITY THAT AFFECTS THEIR ABILITY TO READ PRINTED MATERIAL. OPERATING UNDER AN EXEMPTION IN COPYRIGHT LAW AND WITH THE PERMISSION OF OVER 800 PUBLISHERS, BOOKSHARE HAS DELIVERED OVER 11,000,000 COPIES OF BOOKS AROUND THE WORLD. BOOKSHARE WAS LAUNCHED IN FEBRUARY 2002 AND HAS OVER 456,000 ELIGIBLE MEMBERS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016 IN THE US AND OVER 70 OTHER COUNTRIES. THROUGH THE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS, PARTNERS, UNIVERSITIES AND PUBLISHERS AROUND THE WORLD, BOOKSHARE PROVIDES PEOPLE WITH PRINT DISABILITIES INSTANT ACCESS TO MORE THAN 540,000 BOOKS SPANNING 33 LANGUAGES AND 150 DAILY NEWSPAPERS, IN WAYS THAT WORK FOR THEM.DIAGRAM CENTER: A COMPLEMENTARY INITIATIVE TO BOOKSHARE, THE DIGITAL IMAGE AND GRAPHIC RESOURCES FOR ACCESSIBLE MATERIALS (DIAGRAM) CENTER IS DEDICATED TO REVOLUTIONIZING HOW STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES ACCESS EDUCATIONAL CONTENT, ESPECIALLY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM) MATERIALS. IN 2016, DIAGRAM EXPANDED ITS WORK BY GROWING ITS COMMUNITY OF CROSS-SECTOR EXPERTS IN ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY, EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, AND PUBLISHING OF EDUCATIONAL CONTENT. BORN ACCESSIBLE: THE BORN ACCESSIBLE INITIATIVE IS DRIVING SYSTEMIC CHANGE IN THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY BY HELPING PUBLISHERS CREATE ACCESSIBLE BOOKS FROM THE START. THIS IS WHERE THE NEXT EQUILIBRIUM CHANGE WILL BE SEEN WHEN COMPANIES BEGIN TO PUBLISH BOOKS IN AN ACCESSIBLE FASHION, AND ANYONE WITH DISABILITY WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THEM IN THE SAME WAY AS THEIR PEERS, WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK FOR A REMEDIATED COPY.
