“Management reviewed a draft of the form 990 with the audit/finance committee and provided edits to the tax preparer. After this process was performed, the form 990 was sent to the full board of directors prior to being filed with the IRS.”
“African Leadership Foundation has a board-approved conflicts of interest policy and each board member must fill out an annual declaration stating that they had no conflicts or identifying the nature of their interested party transactions. If there is a conflict of interest, the board votes to approve the transaction. Board members do not vote on any matter in which they have an interest.”
“Upon hiring the executive director, our Board identified competitive salaries in comparable posts using publicly available information. A salary range was agreed for the position, and the Treasurer of the Board was empowered to negotiate the salary within that range, with attention paid to the candidate's background and experience.”
“Financial statements are available upon request.”
“The Foundation does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions. Last year, the Foundation changed its year-end to June 30, 2013 and filed a tax return for the nine month period then ended. The Foundation had previously filed tax returns on a September year-end. Tax filings for periods ended September 30, 2011 and later are subject to examination by applicable taxing authorities.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | African Leadership Foundations (ALF) largest activities include financial support of African Leadership Academy (ALA) and support of ALA graduates in tertiary education outside of Africa so as to enable them to maximize the opportunities available to them through this experience before returning to the continent. African Leadership Academy is currently host to 165 young leaders from all over the African continent, selected through an incredibly competitive and rigorous admissions process. Students are provided a world-class and unique education encompassing the Cambridge A-level curriculum integrated with the ALA developed curriculum focusing on Entrepreneurial Leadership and African studies. Our students have applied to universities in Africa, Europe and the Americas, have won over $60 million in university scholarship awards, and have been admitted and enrolled in such colleges as Berkeley, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Notre Dame, Rochester, Stanford, the University of Cape Town, the University of North Carolina, Trinity College and Yale, a testament to the preparation they receive while at ALA. More than three quarters of all students currently attending the Academy require full financial aid in order to enroll. ALFs financial support of ALA enables ALA to pursue a needs-blind admissions process and provide financial support to those students who require it.In 2013-2014, African Leadership Foundation together with Chapters in geographic areas with a concentration of ALA graduates, provided support to over 250 ALA graduates attending university or college outside of Africa. ALF matched almost 100% of students with local hosts, families and individuals close by and hence able to lend logistical and emotional support as ALA graduates adjust to life in a new country and culture. Additionally ALF hosts regional reunions and professional development opportunities. In 2013-2014 ALF staff provided summer internship preparation support to more than 100 ALA graduates based in the US as part of our careers and internship placement program. |
