Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B
“The form 990 is reviewed in detail by the executive director and operations manager. In addition, the entire board of directors is provided a copy of the form 990 to review and is given the opportunity to provide feedback prior to filing.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C
“On an annual basis, all officers and directors are required to review the organizations conflict of interest policy. In addition, each officer or director is required to complete an acknowledgement evidencing that they reviewed the policy and to disclose in writing any potential conflicts of interest. New officers and directors are required to review the policy and complete the acknowledgement when they are hired or when their term begins. The executive committee is responsible for reviewing all potential conflicts and determining the appropriate course of action to eliminate or mitigate the risks posed. Responses typically include recusing the affected individual from participating in deliberation and voting on any issue related to the potential conflict.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A
“Officer compensation is determined by members of the board of directors who are independent of the officer. In establishing compensation, the board uses comparability data including salary surveys and 990s of organizations that are of similar size, complexity, and region. The deliberation and determination of the officers' compensation is documented in the board minutes and in the approved annual budget.”

Financial Statement Notes
Schedule D, Page 3, Part X
“The organization has been recognized by the internal revenue service (irs) as exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3), qualifying for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi), and has been determined not to be a private foundation under section 509(a). The organization is annually required to file a return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990) and is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to their exempt purposes. Management has determined that the organization is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management believes that the organization has appropriate support for any tax positions taken in its annual filing and does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The organization's forms 990 are no longer subject to tax examination for years before 2018.”
