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. In addition, the board of compensation committee, comprised of the 3 independent directors, has met and issued renewed recommendations for executive compensation based on market comparable organizations and roles. In 2023, helena's officers were provided with less compensation than recommended by this committe.

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 draft 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.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0BIOSECURITY PROJECT - ADVANCES IN SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY AND OTHER INTERSECTING TECHNOLOGIES (E.G. AI) ARE DRIVING ENORMOUS NOVEL RISKS TO SOCIETY. THESE RISKS ARE GROWING IN SEVERITY AND LIKELIHOOD; MITIGATING THEM REQUIRES POWERFUL AND ENDURING RESPONSES. HELENA'S BIOSECURITY PROJECT AIMS TO ADVANCE WISE POLICY TO MITIGATE RISKS FROM SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY AND TO INCREASE THE COMPETENCE AND TRUSTWORTHINESS OF THE INSTITUTIONS REQUIRED TO ENACT SAID POLICY. WE DO THIS THROUGH ENGAGEMENT WITH US AND GLOBAL POLICYMAKERS, ACADEMICS, AND PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERS TO PROVIDE RESEARCH, PROPOSALS, AND ADVICE ON HOW TO REDUCE RISK FROM ADVANCES IN SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY.
