Governance Explanations

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

“The Director of Finance reviews the Form 990 for accuracy and completeness and checks the numbers and works with the tax preparers to finalize the form. After that, the Deputy Director of Operations reviews the finalized Form 990. The Board Treasurer reviews the tax filings and gives the OK to file to the Director of Finance. At that point, the tax preparers electronically file the form.”

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

“Each board member discloses and signs a conflict of interest (COI) policy annually. Management and staff review all contracts on an ongoing basis for any conflicts of interest.”

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

“The organization uses salary surveys to determine compensation. In 2021 the organization adopted a new salary scale that was based on independent surveys of comparable organizations in nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area. The board had extensive discussions and then approved the final document.”
