Governance Explanations

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

“The entire Board of Directors, as well as the Executive Director of WIJF, was provided a complete copy of this Form 990. The process was pursuant to a formal, written policy, duly voted for and adopted by the Board of Directors and signed by the President of the Board of Directors. This "Form 990 Review Policy" was closely followed by the Board of Directors as well as the Executive Director of WIJF.”

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

“Western Iowa Journalism Foundation has a formal, written Conflict of Interest Policy. It was duly voted for and adopted by the Board of Directors and signed by the President of the Board of Directors. It is highly similar to a policy approved by the IRS. The Conflict of Interest Policy required Directors to inform the entire Board if s/he becomes aware of any conflict. Further, the Policy is acknowledged in the form of a signature by each Director each year.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“WIJF made its governing documents, Conflict of Interest Policy, and financial statements available to the public via public request. WIJF's contact information is found prominently on its website and any public request for these documents will be honored. Additionally, WIJF's Articles of Incorporatino are available through a search on the Iowa Secretary of State's website.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Western Iowa Journalism Foundation has a formal, written Conflict of Interest Policy. It was duly voted for and adopted by the Board of Directors and signed by the President of the Board of Directors. It is highly similar to a policy approved by the IRS. The Conflict of Interest Policy required Directors to inform the entire Board if s/he becomes aware of any conflict. Further, the Policy is acknowledged in the form of a signature by each Director each year.
