“The rapides foundation, the orchard foundation's supported organization, is the sole member of the orchard foundation.”
“As sole member of the orchard foundation, the rapides foundation appoints the board members of the orchard foundation through action of the foundation's trustee board. Each orchard foundation trustee is elected for a three-year term.”
“The only powers reserved to the member (the rapides foundation) are the appointment of board members and the final approval of any amendment to or repeal of the orchard foundation's articles of incorporation or bylaws.”
“A final copy of the orchard foundation form 990 is furnished to the audit committee of the rapides foundation board (trf), the orchard foundation's supported organization, for review and approval, and a meeting is held to discuss the form 990 in detail. The meeting is attended by staff that assisted in compiling the form, as well as, representatives of the external accounting firm who compiled the form. All trf and the orchard foundation board members receive the final form 990 copy when it is sent to the audit committee, and all board members are invited to attend the audit committee meeting to review and approve the form.”
“The rapides foundation, the orchard foundation's supported organization, has both a "staff code of ethics and conduct and a "trustee code of ethics and conduct," both of which define and describe actions to be taken in the event of conflicts of interest. The orchard foundation operates under the rapides foundation policies and procedures. The "staff code of ethics and conduct" is monitored and enforced through organizational procedures, controls and daily supervision of employees by the next level of management. The "trustee code of ethics and conduct" is monitored at each board meeting, because the first agenda item is one in which board members are asked to disclose any potential conflicts with listed agenda items. A member that has a potential conflict of interest with a matter that comes before the board or committee is required to leave the room before the matter is discussed, and a majority vote of the remaining disinterested board members determine whether a conflict actually exists. If a conflict is determined to exist, then the conflicted member is not allowed to be present during board discussion and vote on the issue creating the conflict. Each year, board members and key employees are required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire to disclose business and personal relationships that could be potential conflicts of interests.”
“The rapides foundation is a supported organization of the orchard foundation. The rapides foundation provides employees to the orchard foundation through a lease agreement. It also employs the orchard foundation's executive director. The rapides foundation board compensation committee, which is composed of the independent members of its executive committee, periodically engages a third-party compensation consultant to provide market information concerning pay and benefits and make compensation structure recommendations for all rapides foundation positions as well as positions for its supporting organizations. The consultant is provided with job descriptions for all job positions. The consultant then compares those jobs with similar positions at similar types and sizes of organizations. The consultant meets with the compensation committee and provides the comparison data, along with their recommendations for pay ranges for each position (minimum, midpoint, maximum). Recommendations are based upon market averages of similar types and sizes of organizations. In interim years, increases in pay ranges are recommended to the board by management, based on survey information of similar organizations. The ceo recommends the pay for the employees reporting directly to him and a salary budget for the remaining employees of the rapides foundation and its supporting organizations to the compensation committee for approval. The compensation committee independently discusses its recommendations for ceo pay. The rapides foundation ceo then proposes the salary for the orchard foundation executive director to the orchard foundation board of directors for approval. Minutes of all meetings are recorded and maintained.”
“The rapides foundation, orchard's supported organization, makes its staff code of ethics and conduct, trustee code of ethics and conduct, and annual report (including financial statements) available on the organization's website at www.theorchardfoundation.org.”
“The process has not changed from the prior year.”
“The foundation entered into an agreement in january 2017 with the louisiana department of education to act as fiscal agent for the receipt, disbursement, and accounting of funds received from private donors to implement a new skills for youth (nsfy) initiative. Under the terms of the agreement, the department of education manages and implements strategies to achieve the goals of the initiative. The foundation is obligated under the agreement to receive the funds from the donor, disburse the funds as instructed by the department of education, and maintain the necessary accounting records of these activities. The foundation has no responsibility for the implementation or evaluation of the nsfy initiative as fiscal agent, although it can be compensated for the performance of certain programmatic services as a vendor if approved by the department of education. In addition, the foundation is compensated for the performance of its duties as fiscal agent. Funds received by the foundation as fiscal agent are accounted for as a liability, as the foundation has no variance power over the assets subject to the agreement. During 2018, these funds amounted to $322,731, all of which were disbursed as directed by the department of education. The foundation received and recognized as revenue $34,000 of this amount for its services as fiscal agent and the provision of certain programmatic services.”
“The foundation is a nonprofit organization and exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements, but the foundation is required to file an annual information tax return. The foundation is also required to review various tax positions it has taken with respect to its exempt status and determine whether in fact it is a tax exempt entity. The foundation must also consider whether it has nexus in jurisdictions in which it has income and whether a tax return is required in those jurisdictions. In addition, as a tax exempt entity, the foundation must assess whether it has any tax positions associated with unrelated business income subject to income tax. The foundation does not expect its positions to change significantly over the next twelve months. Any penalties related to late filing or other requirements would be recognized as penalties expense in the foundation's accounting records. The foundation files u.s. Federal form 990 for informational purposes. The foundation's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the internal revenue service, generally for a period of three years.”
