Parentstogether Action

“ParentsTogether Action does not have any direct employees. The organization reimburses staffing costs to both an unrelated organization and a common paymaster based upon actual payroll costs. The unrelated paying organization and common paymaster file all required federal employment returns. The number of forms reported on the ParentsTogether Action's 990 represent the numbers of forms it would have filed if employing these individuals directly. Similarly, all reimbursed payroll costs are reported for applicable individuals in Part VII, Section A and Part IX, lines 5-10.”

“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the Board.”

“The Director of Finance works with our external preparer to complete the 990. The Executive Director reviews the submission, and he then submits it to the Board Treasurer for approval and circulates to the Board before submitting.”

“The board members were asked to review the Conflict of Interest policy, which includes their duty to disclose any conflicts of interest.”

“ParentsTogether Action and ParentsTogether Foundation share a common paymaster relationship. While ParentsTogether Action did not determine compensation directly, the ParentsTogether Foundation used the following procedures to determine compensation of shared officers: ParentsTogether Foundation used the same process to determine compensation for ParentsTogether Action President, Justin Ruben, who was compensated through the reimbursement arrangement described above, and Bethany Robertson, Chief Innovation Officer and ParentsTogether Action Board Member. 1) Staff prepared a Compensation Comparables memo for the Board of Directors which legal counsel reviewed and approved; this memo included analysis of compensation for similar positions in the individual's geographic area as well as relative compensation at peer organizations; 2) A Board Resolution was prepared for each individual's compensation, detailing the total compensation; 3) The Board of Directors (excluding the compensated director) voted on each individual's compensation package after reviewing the Compensation Comparables memo; 4) These documents were all filed in our corporate records.”

“ParentsTogether Action makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available ot the public upon request.”
