Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The 990 is first reviewed by the Executive Director and contract Accountant. It is then forwarded to the Finance Committee and full Board for review. The Finance Committee makes a motion to approve the 990 which is to put to a full board vote.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“The Board discusses and reviews the conflict of interests policy annually and appropriate disclosures are made and documented by resigning the Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality document. New Board members are oriented and trained with respect to the policy.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“The executive committee of the Board of Directors conducts an annual review of the Executive Director. As part of that process they consider the current compensation of the Executive Director, weigh the performance and use tools like the Colorado Nonprofit Association's Salary and Benefits survey to ensure that the compensation is fair and competitive with similar nonprofit organizations of similar size, budget and focus in the Denver area. The Executive Committee then reports to the full Board with a recommendation about the next year's compensation.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees

“The only key employee is the Executive Director.”

IRS990/Desc0Bright by Three provides free programs in both English and Spanish for parents and caregivers with children under three years old. The Bright by Three program contains accurate, research-based information, tools, and resources to help parents and caregivers give their child the best start in life. Volunteers and staff meet parents and caregivers at home, at work, at the pediatrician's office, in groups or at any community setting of their choice. Often, Bright by Three partners with community agencies to offer our programs in all 64 Colorado counties. Parents and caregivers throughout the United States can also sign up for Bright by Text, which sends 3-5 weekly text messages to parents and caregivers containing bite-sized nudges and activities timed to the developmental stage of their child.
