Denver Rescue Mission

“The organization amended its bylaws during the tax year. Significant changes include: The President has the authority to increase the number of officers to include all employees designated as Vice President. Language was added regarding asset distribution upon dissolution. If the Mission dissolves, its assets must be distributed for tax-exempt purposes under 501(c)(3), to the government, or another qualified nonprofit. If no such organization is designated, a court will determine an appropriate recipient.”

“Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the officers and financial management team at Denver Rescue Mission. After this, the Board of Directors of the Denver Rescue Mission reviewed the Form 990 prior to the document being submitted to the Internal Revenue Service.”

“Denver Rescue Mission requires board members, executive officers, and key employees to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. The finance team monitors transactions and reports any potential conflicts of interest to the board. The person with a conflict excuses his or her self from the decision making process, and the board votes on whether or not the transaction is in the best interest of the organization.”

“The Denver Rescue Mission performs a study to benchmark the salaries of its employees with compensation surveys of comparable organizations. The goal is to match salaries and market rates for each staff position (including the executive positions) based on several nationwide and local employment surveys. The proposed salary ranges for each position are then approved by the Executive Team. Compensation for both the President/CEO and CFO is reviewed annually by the Finance Committee, which functions as the compensation committee. The Finance Committee's recommendations regarding executive compensation are presented to the independent Board of Directors of the Denver Rescue Mission. The Board reviews and approves the executive compensation. The Board's deliberations and decisions for the CEO's compensation package are documented in the Board minutes. The CFO compensation deliberations and decisions are documented in the employee's HR file.”

“Compensation reported in Part VII, column D and Schedule J, Part II, column B is the amount reported on the individual's W-2, box 1 or 5 (whichever amount is greater) per the IRS instructions. In the case of minister's compensation when box 5 of the W-2 is not applicable, box 1 compensation is used. Employee deferrals to qualified retirement plans are normally captured in box 5, not box 1 of Form W-2. For reporting purposes we have included the minister's retirement plan deferrals in Part VII, column F and Schedule J, Part II, column C.”
