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 of the organization's directors receive a copy of the draft 990 form over email, and are given time to review and ask questions or request changes before it is filed.

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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Governing documents are made available to the public upon request. The form 990 can be accessed via irs.gov and guidestar.org

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 b 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 tax 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identidief or liabilities recorded for the years ended december 31, 2024 and 2023.

IRS990/Desc0A1R: AMERICA IN ONE ROOM IS A HISTORIC GATHERING THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF THE AMERICAN VOTING ELECTORATE IN U.S. HISTORY. OVER THE COURSE OF THREE FULL DAYS, THIS GROUP ENGAGED IN A CIVIL AND NUANCED DELIBERATION ON THE CRITICAL ISSUES FACING THE UNITED STATES. THE ENTIRE SAMPLE TOOK THE SAME IN-DEPTH QUESTIONNAIRE BEFORE AND AFTER THE EVENT. THIS PROCESS YIELDED IMPORTANT DATA CONCERNING HOW AMERICANS THINK ABOUT VALUES, CANDIDATES, AND POLICY ISSUES WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO THINK DEEPLY, ENGAGE WITH DIFFERENT OPINIONS, AND DELIBERATE IN A FACT-RICH AND RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT. IT WAS COVERED EXTENSIVELY IN THE MEDIA, AND HAILED BY MULTIPLE FORMER US PRESIDENTS. IN 2024, HELENA LAUNCHED AMERICA IN ONE ROOM: THE YOUTH VOTE, WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER HUNDREDS OF YOUNG, FIRST TIME VOTERS IN AN UNPRECEDENTED FORUM FOR CITIZENS TO DISCUSS CRITICAL ISSUES FACING THE COUNTRY AHEAD OF THE 2024 ELECTION.

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. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT HTTP://HELENA.ORG/PROJECTS/BIOSECURITY/.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0HELENA'S MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM RECRUITS, CONVENES, AND COMMUNICATES WITH A SMALL GROUP OF LEADERS IN DIFFERENT FIELDS TO HELP HELENA SELECT AND OPERATE PROJECTS THAT ADDRESS MAJOR SOCIETAL ISSUES. IN PRACTICE, THIS MEANS: I) RESEARCHING AND NETWORKING TO FIND POTENTIAL HELENA MEMBERS (PEOPLE WHO REPRESENT THE PINNACLE OF ACHIEVEMENT IN THEIR FIELD AND SHARE A WILLINGNESS TO USE THEIR CAPABILITIES TO HELP THE WORLD); II) RECRUITING THEM TO JOIN HELENA (AND LEVERAGE THEIR ASSETS AND TALENTS TOWARDS OUR PROJECTS); AND III) MEETING WITH MEMBERS TO DISCUSS IMPORTANT SOCIETAL PROBLEMS, AND THE WAYS THEY CAN WORK WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH HELENA TO ADDRESS THOSE PROBLEMS (E.G., THROUGH OUR OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES). THIS PROGRAM ALSO INVOLVES HELPING OUR MEMBERS WITH THEIR OWN PROJECTS TO ADDRESS SOCIETAL ISSUES, INCLUDING EFFORTS LIKE PROJECT PROTEUS, AN UNDERWATER MONITORING AND RESEARCH STATION TO STUDY THE HEALTH OF THE OCEANS.
