Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“The organization has no separate committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

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

“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by legal counsel. A complete copy of the 990 was provided to the full board prior to filing with the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Directors and officers are required to disclose to the board any financial interest in which the officer or director directly or indirectly has a conflict of interest. Officers, directors and key employees are also required to sign a conflict of interest policy annually. Any person or entity that is a party to a transaction under consideration by the board (interested director or officer) is required to abstain from voting on the transaction. Form 990, part vi, section b, line 14: the organization is in the process of implementing a written document retention and destruction policy.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A:

“Part vii, section a does not report any compensation for patrick mchugh and jill shesol because their w-2s were issued by priorities usa, an organization that does not meet the definition of a "related organization" as defined in the form 990 glossary. Priorities usa foundation reimburses priorities usa for allocable time that employees spend on foundation business. Patrick and jill's allocable share of compensation that the foundation reimbursed is reflected below: patrick mchugh $28,850 salary and $1,048 benefits jill shesol $14,666 salary and $598 benefits”
