Governance Explanations

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

The form 990 is prepared by the external accountants and reviewed by management. Revisions, corrections, etc. Are made as necessary. Once all are satisfied with the form, it is finalized and a copy is sent to all board members for review and approval.

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

Each year the organization's conflict of interest policy is provided to all officers, directors and key employees. These people are asked to review the policy and sign a statement indicating that they understand the policy and have reported all potential conflicts during the past year in accordance with the policy and will report all potential conflicts during the coming year. All potential conflicts are evaluated by the board to determine if a conflict actually exists. In those instances where the potential transaction is a conflict, the board examines the transaction and a vote is taken (with those involved recusing themselves) as to whether the organization will enter into the transaction.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents (articles of incorporation and by-laws), its conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request. The organization will mail copies upon request or provide copies to those who come to the administrative office during normal business hours. The organization charges for the copies in accordance with irs regulations.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is exempt from income taxes as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Management believes that the organization operates in a manner consistent with their tax-exempt status at both the state and federal levels. The organization annually files irs form 990 - return of organization exempt from income tax, reporting various information that the irs uses to monitor the activities of tax-exempt entities. These tax returns are subject to review by the taxing authorities, generally for a period of three years after they were filed. The organization currently has no tax examinations in progress.
