The primary exempt purpose of the Bethany Lutheran Church Foundation is to provide a permanent financial resource to strengthen and expand the mission of Bethany Lutheran Church congregation by providing additional stewardship opportunities for congregation members and friends of Bethany. Expenditures are made to further the education of members attending seminaries and undergraduate colleges through scholarship support. In addition, expenditures of the Foundation are envisioned as being for projects or undertakings which would seem likely to enrich, or uplift in some special way, the spiritual life of the Bethany Lutheran Church congregation; which would provide some worthy addition or improvement to the facilities of Bethany Lutheran Church, that are beyond achievement through other channels, or which would give needed assistance or support to a worthy individual, family, or Christian enterprise.

“The members of the Foundation shall be all the voting members of the congregation of Bethany Lutheran Church, Englewood, Colorado.”
“The voting church members of Bethany Lutheran Church are responsible for electing new members to the governing body (board members) each November for a three year term. Any board member may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by a vote of church members (members) by ballot at a duly called meeting of the members. In order to remove a board member, a vote of two-thirds of the members who are present at the meeting and eligible to vote must approve such removal.”
“Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the organization's top management. The board convenes after the Form 990 is prepared. At this time, members are given copies of the Form 990 and the Form is approved before it is filed with the IRS.”
“At the first committee meeting of the year, the conflict of interest policy is reviewed and each member is asked to complete the disclosure statement answering all questions relating to potential conflicts of interest. These are dated and signed and kept on file. Each member is notified that any conflicts that should arise during the year are to be brought to the committee and the proper channels are utilized in arriving at a course of action.”
“The organization does not have a top management official or top financial official and therefore these lines were answered no in accordance with the instructions.”
“If an individual would like to see any of the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, or financial statements they are able upon request from the Foundation's accountant. At the annual meeting of the church, attendees are made aware that any statements or filings are available if requested. This is also printed in the newsletter for the church, notifying church members of the availability of any financial documentation.”
“The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the audit process and selecting the independent accounting firm used. This process has not changed from the previous year.”
“The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the statements of activities. As of December 31, 2015, the Foundation had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Foundation is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.”
