“The foundation's president, dawn nickel, and the secretary, taryn strong, have a family relationship.”

“The organization's president and acting ceo thoroughly reviewed the form 990 and discussed it with the preparer cpa. Each page of the return was discussed, specifically aimed at understanding the purpose and potential regulatory issues. Following that review, a complete copy of the form 990 was provided to the organization's board of directors prior to e-filing.”

“All foundation officers, directors, board committee members and employees are covered under the conflict of interest policy. Under the policy, any foundation officer, director, board committee member or employee who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined in the policy, is an interested person. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and all material facts to the board. Any interested director must recuse himself or herself at any time from involvement in any decision or discussion in which he or she has or may have a conflict of interest, without going through the process for determining whether such a conflict of interest exists. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person(s), he/she shall leave the board meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The procedures for addressing the conflict of interest include: (a) a presentation at the board meeting, then abstaining from a discussion or vote on the transaction or arrangement; (b) if appropriate, the president shall appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement; (c) after exercising due diligence, the board determines whether the foundation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest; (d) if a more advan tageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible, the board will determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the foundation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. Each officer, director, board committee member and employee must annually complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement. If the board has reasonable cause to believe a person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it will inform such person of the basis for such belief and afford the person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. Appropriate disciplinary and/or correction action will be taken as warranted.”

“The board of directors has a policy for reviewing and approving the compensation packages of the chief executive officer and other key employees on a regular basis to determine it is fair and reasonable with the goal of retaining employees at compensation levels within appropriate market range. The policy provides that the review and approval of the compensation arrangement will be conducted, in advance, by independent and impartial members of the board (or a committee of the board). The board reviews comparability data such as compensation paid by similarly situated nonprofit and for-profit organizations for comparable positions in the same geographic area. The board may also review current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms and consider recent written offers from similar organizations competing for the covered individual's services. The documentation of the board includes the terms of the transaction and the date of approval, the members who were present during the debate and vote on the transaction, a description of the comparability data and how it was obtained and relied upon including the recommendations received from third-party consultants, and documentation of the basis for the determination.”

“Federal tax laws do not require that the organization's articles, bylaws, conflict of interest policy or financial statements be provided to the general public.”
