IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Human Neartermism: We research how organizations working to improve global health and reduce global poverty can best measure their impact. We conducted hundreds of hours of research in 2020, and communicated our findings to organizations working in the global poverty space and to the general public.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The 990 will be shared with the board for review electronically prior to filing.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2We annually request a statement of conflict of interest from Board members. Members who have a conflict related to a decision they are making for the organization typically recuse themselves from the decision.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3For all staff, independent of role (including executives), we use a salary algorithm that accounts for years of experience, tenure at the organization, title at the organization, and comporable data. We use this to set salaries annually in February. This process last occurred in 2020.
