Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

Two board members have a business relationship. Sam feinburg and henry elkus are in business together in helena's for-profit arm, helena special investments.

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

Each member of the board is provided with a copy of the 990, with ample time to review, suggest amendments, request further information on any part of the form, or otherwise comment on and contribute to the filing process.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

In 2016, helena engaged the boston consulting group (bcg) to perform a review of executive compensation at comparable charitable organizations at various levels of annual budgets. That review produced an extensive set of detailed salary recommendations for the organization's top officers. Every year since, helena's officers have been compensated at less than the amounts recommended by bcg in that study, without any adjustments for inflation.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Governing documents are made available to the public upon request.

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the foundation may recognize tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The foundation files form 990 in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. It received its determination letter during 2018.
