IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The form was prepared and reviewed by multiple directors prior to filing including the Treasurer and the Co-Director of Operations.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Directors, employees, and key volunteers are required to review and sign the Conflict of Interest policy annually. Individuals are expected to disclose any time when they may have an actual or perceived conflict of interest, and are also welcome to raise concerns about the potential conflicts of other individuals. There is then group discernment about whether a conflict exists and, if so, how it must be taken into account in any applicable decision making.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2All of the organizations governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Some of these documents are also publicly available on the Candid/Guidestar website.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3FOR THE 2022 TAX YEAR, THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE NOT YET BEEN ISSUED. AN AMENDED RETURN WILL BE FILED, IF APPROPRIATE, ONCE THE AUDIT IS COMPLETE.
