“Form 990 is prepared by the CFO. The President reviews and then forwards a copy to the full board before filing.”

“Annually, the board members are required to disclose any conflicts of interest, if any, and are discussed with the board for appropriate consideration if and as necessary.”

“Compensation for the President and Executive Director is approved by the Board after reviewing compensation for comparable nonprofits based on size and market. This is approved annually as a part of the budget process. Compensation for staff is approved by the President or Executive Director as part of the annual budget process. Once approved, human resources reviews the compensation and finalizes it.”

“Gap Community Services has available upon request all documents at its administrative offices.”

“The accompanying 990 tax return has been prepared from the separate records maintained by Gap Community Services, a related party organization of Gap Ministries through a common board of directors. In the normal course of program services, Gap Ministries incurs significant general and administrative expenses, including officer and key employee salaries, advertising, accounting, other services, and other fundraising costs that benefit Gap Community Services. Pursuant to an informal arrangement, Gap Ministries has historically paid for and absorbed all of these administrative costs on behalf of Gap Community Services and has not charged Gap Community Services for these expenses. Therefore, no related expenses from Gap Ministries are recorded in Gap Community Services' statement of functional expenses. Management believes that the omission of these allocated expenses does not impact the fairness of the 990 tax return for their intended purpose. However, the 990 tax return is not necessarily indicative of the conditions that would have existed, or the results of program services that would have occurred, if Gap Community Services had operated as an unaffiliated entity on a stand-alone basis.”
