House of Hope Ministry Inc

“Alyssa Waddell, co-Executive Director of the organization, is the sister of Keirstyn Daku who is an authorized representative of the organization and a CPA who is compensated for her contracted services. Additionally, both Alyssa Waddell, co-Executive Director of the organization, and Lindsey Hodge, President of the Board of the organization, are employed by a church with which RJ Grunewald, Secretary of the filing organization, is associated as a Pastor/director.”

“Keirstyn Daku is a CPA who is compensated for her contracted services. She is an authorized representative of the organization and, as such, performs acts with respect to various tax matters. Some of the duties she is responsible for may include duties customarily performed by or under the direct supervision of a Finance Director, including financial reporting as well as compliance with financial and statutory regulations.”

“The return preparer emailed a copy of the final version of the Form 990 to the Board Treasurer and co-Executive Directors before it was filed. The Board Treasurer conducted a review, emailed to Board of Directors for any additional comments, and approved the final document to authorize filing.”

“Any board member who becomes aware of a potential conflict of interest with respect to any matter coming before the Board makes this potential conflict known immediately in any discussion relating to the matter. When a conflict of interest is identified, a majority vote determines what action must be taken in any given situation including the related board member not being involved in any aspect of the decision making process, refraining from voting, or other listed options. For each voting decision conducted at the board meetings during the filing year, any directors with a perceived conflict of interest abstained from voting on such decision. An example of this being conducted during the filing year was during the determination of compensation rate for the Co-Executive Directors.”

“The compensation of the Co-Executive Directors was reviewed and approved unanimously by the independent voting members of the Board of Directors during the presentation of the annual budget. In 2022, the Board Treasurer compared the compensation rate against the compensation data of other local nonprofits prior to the Board approving. Every subsequent year, the Board has approved a pay raise to reflect inflation while still keeping the adjusted salary well below the average rate for local nonprofits of similar size. The voting and unanimous decision is recorded within the board minutes.”

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
