Gapps

“Anna faris is a daughter of john faris.”

“Gapps has a co-employment agreement with avitus group- they manage payroll, hr and employer tax filings. Avitus group is not involved in any day to day management of gapps.”

“Gapps executive director is responsible for the timely preparation of form 990. The executive director may confer with accountants and legal experts with regards to drafts of the 990. Copies of the draft form 990 are distributed to the audit committee for review and approval. Once questions and comments are addressed, management staff will incorporate changes as appropriate and then distribute the final version of form 990 to all members of the governing body. Following distribution to all members of the governing body, form 990 will be filed in a timely manner.”

“Gapps conflict of interest policy requires all board members and staff to disclose any conflict/potential conflict of interest. Board members with a conflict/potential conflict are prohibited from voting on any matter in which there is a conflict. The conflict of interest policy is reviewed by board members annually and each member must sign a disclosure of conflict statement which is reviewed by gapps legal counsel.”

“The executive director's compensation was determined and approved by the board with input from compensation experts at gapps' coemployer, avitus group, to conduct an independent comparabilty review. The executive director's compensation was bench marked against similarly sized non-profits in seattle, and other similarly sized global health non-profits nationally. In addition, the compensation of key employees was reviewed and approved by seattle children's as a condition of gapps' separation agreement. The executive director's performance and compensation are reviewed by the board annually.”

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial information are available to public upon request.”

“Form 1a reports zero w2/w3s filed, which is correct under the organization's ein. There is a contract in place to share payroll and hr resources with the professional employer organization avitus. The executive director's salary is reported under the ein of avitus; however, for transparency and informational reporting, we have recorded the amounts on the board compensation tab, as well as broken out the amount of officer salary for the executive director and other wages and salaries, because the dollar amounts are expense items that are paid directly to avitus.”
