“The organization has established a formal process for the review and approval of form 990 to ensure accuracy, compliance, and transparency. After the preparation of the form 990 by a qualified individual or firm, the completed return is presented to the organization's board of directors for review. The board members carefully examine the form to verify that it accurately reflects the financial and operational activities of the organization. Any questions or concerns raised during the review are addressed and resolved before finalization. Once the review process is complete and the board is satisfied with the content and accuracy of the form, the board formally approves the form 990 for submission to the irs. This review and approval process underscores the organizations commitment to good governance, accountability, and compliance with tax regulations.”

“The compensation process for officers or key employees was established and formally approved during the organizations initial board meeting. At that time, the board of directors discussed and determined an appropriate and reasonable compensation structure in alignment with the organizations mission, budget, and applicable regulations. Currently, the organization compensates only one board member. The compensation amount was determined based on a review of the individuals role and responsibilities, as well as prevailing compensation practices for similar roles in comparable organizations. The board ensures that the compensation is fair, justified, and consistent with the organizations operating resources. This decision reflects the organizations commitment to maintaining transparency, compliance with irs guidelines, and adherence to best practices for nonprofit governance.”

“Food for life vrindavan has been working in india since 1991. Our work includes free meal distribution, cleaning and tree planting, paper recycling , organic farming, and a sewing and embroidery centre (providing training & employment opportunity for village women). Primarily, fflv runs schools providing free education, meals, skill training and medical help to over 1500 girls in india. Over the past 25 years of working at grassroots, we saw the intense hardships a girl faces without an education, child marriage being the most common one, where she is forced into an adult role at an early age. Fflv aims to keep the girl in school until she is 18 to prevent early marriage. We also encourage & support the girl to pursue university education.”
