Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“Deborah mellen is the sole member of the organization.”

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

“The sole member of the foundation, deborah mellen, appoints the board of directors.”

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

“There are no committees of the board.”

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

“The foundation has its outside tax accountants prepare the form 990 in coordination with an officer of the foundation; the form 990 is reviewed by outside legal counsel, then sent to the members of the board of directors.”

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

“The foundation's conflict of interest policy requires officers and directors to disclose conflicts as they arise. Given the small size of the board and the simplicity of the foundation's operations, the foundation does not employ additional monitoring procedures beyond this disclosure requirement and thorough discussion at its board meetings. The foundation does not have written document retention and destruction policy, but it does maintain a complete record of grants and other transactions, including grant letters and other written material.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The foundation will make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

FORM 990, PART VII:

“William rey, board member, is compensated in his capacity as full-time captain not as a board member. His compensation is reported on part ix, line 11g for these services.”
