Governance Explanations

Part VI, Line 12C

None of our board members receive any financial compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer supervises our staff and is in direct, consistent communication with them. All of our staff have designated funds and are directors of their own funds. The Chief Executive Officer co-manages every designaed fund with each staff member and tracks the nonprofit spending decisions of all staff members who receive any financial support from their organization for salary and/or expenses and grants. The Chief Executive Officer sends a monthly financial report to all the board members who supervise our executive team and financial management. If the Chief Executive Officer or any board member feels a conflict of interest may exist, we schedule a special business meeting to discuss the issue and make a decision before moving forward.

Part VI, Line 19

We have a statement on our homepage blazingtrees.org that states our policy about these documents and includes the email [email protected] where the public can reach out to us to request these documents.

Part VI, Line 2

Our board member Mark Harvey is the father of our Chief Executive Officer James Harvey.

Part VI, Line 8B

We don't have any committees.

IRS990ScheduleF/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0We award grants only to trusted missionary partners. For someone to receive a grant, they must have a personal relationship with one of our staff and fund/mission directors. Through prayer, friendship, and communications, we discover specific financial needs of leaders and their teams seeking to advance the Kingdom of Jesus Christ through disciple making and church planting. All of these missionary partners have newsletters either monthly or quarterly where they share photos, testimonies, stories, and prayer updates on the progress of their missionary work. Furthermore, we schedule phone calls with our partners to catch up on how they're doing, and how they used the funding we sent to them. We monitor the use of all grant funds through 1) newsletters, 2) mission updates, and 3) phone call or video meeting interviews. It's the responsibility of the staff member who has granted the funds through their designated fund to their missionary partner to pay attention to how the grant is used and to hold the ministry partner accountable to integrity, honesty, and faithful stewardship. Anyone can lie on a written report. For this reason, we ensure grants are used faithfully and honestly through personal relationships with our partners who receive these financial resources. We use this strategy to ensure that all resources entrusted to Blazing Trees are used for nonprofit purposes when shared with domestic and international partners through strategic grantmaking.
