Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6

“The members of the Foundation shall be all the voting members of the congregation of Bethany Lutheran Church in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7A

“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, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“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, the governing body is given copies of the Form 990, and the Form is approved before it is filed with the IRS.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“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 signed and dated, then reviewed by the BLCF Board Secretary and the accountant of Bethany Lutheran Church. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The organization does not compensate any officers or key employees. Therefore, these lines were answered no in accordance with the instructions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are able upon request from the Foundation's accountant.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The members of the Foundation shall be all the voting members of the congregation of Bethany Lutheran Church in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The 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.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Form 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, the governing body is given copies of the Form 990, and the Form is approved before it is filed with the IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3At 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 signed and dated, then reviewed by the BLCF Board Secretary and the accountant of Bethany Lutheran Church. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The organization does not compensate any officers or key employees. Therefore, these lines were answered no in accordance with the instructions.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are able upon request from the Foundation's accountant.
