Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The organization reviewed the 990 with the board prior to filing. The 990 is reviewed and approved by board asynchronously.”

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

“At beginning of term, members list all conflicts of interests. If conflicts arise, members are asked to seek outside counsel and recuse themselves from decisions as needed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The executive compensation policy for kfi involves the board's annual review to set competitive, market-based compensation for the executive director. The board meets independent of the ed and other org executives to discuss executive compensation, focusing on internal and external equity. The process includes gathering market data from various sources, performing annual performance reviews, and presenting recommendations to the board, ensuring documentation of discussions and decisions. After review of data collected, the full board will meet and decide on compensation of the executive officers. A quorum must be present to approve the recommendation, and the board must document how it reached its decisions, including the data on which it relied, in the minutes during which the compensation was approved. An email from the board or minutes showing approval of compensation change, if any, must be sent to the operations team at kf to make changes in the payroll system.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“No other documents available to the public.”
