Form 990, Part VI, Line 8: Explanation of No Contemporaneously Documentation of Meetings

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process
“The 990 is prepared by a CPA and sent for review by the Treasurer. Once the Treasurer approves it, it is sent to the the entire Board of Directors for their comments prior to filing.”

“Conflicts of interest are required to be disclosed by all officers and directors. All checks are signed by the Treasurer who reviews the accompanying invoice for possible conflicts of interest.”
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management
“The annual process for determining compensation is as follows: CHF Executive Committee of the Board shall evaluate the Executive Director on his/her performance, and ask for his/her input on matters of performance and compensation. Board Approval. The Executive Committee will make a recommendation to the full board for compensation (salary and benefits) of the Executive Director. The recommendation will be based upon research that includes comparability data. For example, the Executive Committee will secure data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions at similar organizations. This data may include the following:1.Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources;2.Written job offers for positions at similar organizations;3.Documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and for-profit organizations; or4.Information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations.Concurrent Documentation. To approve the compensation for the Executive Director the Board must document how it reached its decisions in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. Documentation will include:a) A description of the compensation and benefits and the date it was approved; b) The members of the Board who were present during the discussion about compensation and benefits, and the results of the vote; c)A description of the comparability data relied upon and how the data was obtained; and d)Any actions taken (such as abstaining from discussion and vote) with respect to consideration of the compensation by anyone who is otherwise a member of the Board but who had a conflict of interest with respect to the decision on the compensation and benefits.Independence in Setting Compensation: The President of the Board of Directors, who is a volunteer and not compensated by CHF, will operate independently without undue influence from the Executive Director. No member of the Executive Committee will be a staff member, the relative of a staff member, or have any relationship with staff that could present a conflict of interest.”
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | The 990 is prepared by a CPA and sent for review by the Treasurer. Once the Treasurer approves it, it is sent to the the entire Board of Directors for their comments prior to filing. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 2 | Conflicts of interest are required to be disclosed by all officers and directors. All checks are signed by the Treasurer who reviews the accompanying invoice for possible conflicts of interest. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 3 | The annual process for determining compensation is as follows: CHF Executive Committee of the Board shall evaluate the Executive Director on his/her performance, and ask for his/her input on matters of performance and compensation. Board Approval. The Executive Committee will make a recommendation to the full board for compensation (salary and benefits) of the Executive Director. The recommendation will be based upon research that includes comparability data. For example, the Executive Committee will secure data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions at similar organizations. This data may include the following:1.Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources;2.Written job offers for positions at similar organizations;3.Documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and for-profit organizations; or4.Information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations.Concurrent Documentation. To approve the compensation for the Executive Director the Board must document how it reached its decisions in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. Documentation will include:a) A description of the compensation and benefits and the date it was approved; b) The members of the Board who were present during the discussion about compensation and benefits, and the results of the vote; c)A description of the comparability data relied upon and how the data was obtained; and d)Any actions taken (such as abstaining from discussion and vote) with respect to consideration of the compensation by anyone who is otherwise a member of the Board but who had a conflict of interest with respect to the decision on the compensation and benefits.Independence in Setting Compensation: The President of the Board of Directors, who is a volunteer and not compensated by CHF, will operate independently without undue influence from the Executive Director. No member of the Executive Committee will be a staff member, the relative of a staff member, or have any relationship with staff that could present a conflict of interest. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 4 | The process is similar to the compensation review and approval process for the Executive Director. |
