Biz Bash Inc

“Biz Bash is administered exclusively by the volunteer efforts of the employees of BOK Financial Corporation and its subsidiary companies. Biz Bash does not have any employees and does not compensate its volunteers, officers or board of directors nor are any such persons compensated by any other organization on behalf of Biz Bash. Accordingly, Biz Bash does not have a process for designating, reviewing and approving compensation.”

“Each director of Biz Bash is also an officer or director of BOK Financial Corporation the ongoing presenting sponsor of the organization. No director or officer of BOK Financial Corporation receives any compensation for the volunteer services provided to Biz Bash. Members of the board of directors and officers of BOK Financial Corporation are encouraged to be involved in their communities and may participate on the board of other charitable organizations. No Biz Bash director was also a board member of the 2021 beneficiary charitable organizations, although such a relationship alone would not preclude an organization from applying or being considered by Biz Bash in determining eligible beneficiaries. Applying organizations with common a director(s) are subject to the same scrutiny in the application process as otherwise unaffiliated organizations, mitigating potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, Biz Bash limits beneficiaries to a maximum of two consecutive years of grants. To date, Biz Bash has not made a funding grant to any beneficiary organization more than twice.”

“The annual information return on Form 990 is prepared and presented to the president of the board of directors prior to filing with the IRS. A review is made of, among other things, total support, reliance on large donors, public support ratios and grants made to the designated local charities. A copy of the return is made available to all other officers and directors.”

“Biz Bash makes its required information (IRS determination letter, governing documents, financial information, etc.) available to the public and will furnish such information upon request. Organization information is also available on the websites of the Secretary of State for Arizona and Colorado, states where Biz Bash either files information tax returns or other registration information.”
