Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1A

“In 2023, the board executive committee was comprised of the board chair, the president/ceo/secretary, the board treasurer, and the prior board chair.”

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

“The return is prepared by the organization's independent accountant based on data provided by management. Once a draft return is available, it is provided to the governing body for review prior to filing.”

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

“The conflict of interest policy covers any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers. If a conflict of interest were to arise, the interested party is not present during the discussion and vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. If this were to occur, it will be captured in the meeting minutes. Each year, board members are asked to complete a conflict of interest form. Then if conflicts of interest arise during the year, they are to disclose to the board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Using the council on foundation's 2023 midwest grantmaker salary, benefits, & demographics report as a resource, the executive officer's compensation is determined by the board of directors. The decision to approve the executive officer's compensation is documented in the board of directors meeting minutes as part of the annual budget review and approval process. The process described here was last completed in 2023.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization does not make the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public.”
