Governance Explanations

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

“Form 990 was prepared by the non profit's bookkeeper, Kyoko Hoda, and was reviewed by the executive director and board member Peter Dunn before filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Peter Dunn is both an officer (Board member, President, Treasurer) and key employee (Executive Director). He has never received compensation for his role as an officer, including in the fiscal year of this filing. 100% of his compensation has been for his role as Executive Director, including in this fiscal year. The organization used a process for determining his compensation using comparability data. The compensation was voted on by independent persons without Mr. Dunn's presence at the vote, and was recorded in minutes. Starting several years ago, Mr. Dunn volunteered to give up nearly all of his salary and work mostly as a volunteer. For example, he received less than $7,000 in total pay in the fiscal year of this filing for doing about 50 hours of work per week.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“We made the governing documents available to the public upon request. Also, our 990s are usually made available to the public to download via nonprofit websites such as Guidestar.”

IRS990/Desc0Published over 1,800 editions of information on subjects of interest and use to individuals and to the public, including philanthropy, nonprofits, human rights, world affairs, the environment, science, health, technology and education. Most editions included text, audio clips, photos, and videos. We ended the year with over 7,400 registered users, which represents only a fraction of the total users, as most users do not register. Registration and use of our sites is free. We also posted all of our daily news items to four different feeds on Twitter, and had over 94,000 ongoing users registered to follow our posts at Twitter. We also published other websites and worked on creating several new websites to further accomplish our purposes of providing information to the public and promoting more volunteering and donating to nonprofits.

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0PART II, SECTION C - LINE 17A. The service that we're using to Efile does not allow line returns so we've used capital letters to separate the sections of text to make it easier to read. Our nonprofit organization meets the facts and circumstances test for the following reasons: A) Our mission is to convey high quality information to the public on subjects useful to individuals and beneficial to society and the world (such as nonprofits, philanthropy, human rights, world affairs, the environment, health, science and education), promote the sharing and discussing of ideas and information, and promote increased voluntarism and philanthropy. In the previous year, we published over 1,800 editions of our websites that do the above, including DailySource.org. Most editions included text, audio clips, photos and videos. B) Our service appeals to a wide swath of the public, and is not limited to a particular community or region. C) Our Web site is entirely free of charge to the public. We do not charge for its use or for registering. In addition, all of our past editions are made available to the public online for free on a continuous basis in our archives section. Nearly all of our site is accessible without registering. The other small portion is accessible for free for any person from the public who wants to spend 1 minute registering. The only reason registration is needed is that a user account is needed so their preferences on the site can be remembered. D) A lot of our support comes through contributions of time that save us very large amounts of money we'd otherwise need to spend on staff. On average we have over 35 volunteers donate over 6,300 volunteer hours a year. The nonprofit association Independent Sector provides national rates for the value of services from volunteers that it updates annually from Bureau of Labor Statics data. For calendar year 2017, they estimated the dollar value of volunteer time is $24.14 per hour: https://independentsector.org/news-post/value-volunteer-time/. Their number comes from the Bureau of Labor Statics average wage figure increased by 12 percent to estimate for fringe benefits such as FICA. Based on their recommended figure, volunteers gave us over $870,000 in support over the last 5 years. The IRS rules do not allow us to list that on the chart, yet it is support from the public. If these hours counted towards support using the Independent Sector's suggested number, then over 50% of our support over the past 5 years came from the public. Even if a much lower figure like $18 an hour is used, it is still means over 40% of our real-life support comes from the public. E) Our board is a mix of men and women from different states and different work backgrounds who represent a broad cross-section of public interests and views. Board member Peter Dunn is a journalist and former small business owner who has volunteered for numerous nonprofits. He is located in Florida. Board member Amy Luchans is Associate Director of Alumni Relations at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts and was assistant director of student activities at another college. Board member Vincent Winkel was the managing editor of Public Interactive, a division of NPR that provides Web platforms and online news content for over 300 public radio and television stations around the country, and later worked at American Public Media as Web editor and producer, and has worked for CNN, CBS, NPR and the BBC as a reporter. His coverage of multiple diverse topics has earned him major awards from the Overseas Press Club of America, the Associated Press, the Society of Professional Journalists, the International Radio Festival of New York, the Gabriel Awards and more. He is located in Missouri. Board Member Susan Barron is President of the Alumni Association of Lawrence Academy, an independent high school in Groton, Massachusetts. She also volunteers for the Parent-Teachers Association in her home town of Concord, MA. Board member Mi

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Form 990 was prepared by the non profit's bookkeeper, Kyoko Hoda, and was reviewed by the executive director and board member Peter Dunn before filing.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Peter Dunn is both an officer (Board member, President, Treasurer) and key employee (Executive Director). He has never received compensation for his role as an officer, including in the fiscal year of this filing. 100% of his compensation has been for his role as Executive Director, including in this fiscal year. The organization used a process for determining his compensation using comparability data. The compensation was voted on by independent persons without Mr. Dunn's presence at the vote, and was recorded in minutes. Starting several years ago, Mr. Dunn volunteered to give up nearly all of his salary and work mostly as a volunteer. For example, he received less than $7,000 in total pay in the fiscal year of this filing for doing about 50 hours of work per week.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2We made the governing documents available to the public upon request. Also, our 990s are usually made available to the public to download via nonprofit websites such as Guidestar.
