Governance Explanations

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

“The first draft of the 990 was developed by an external accounting firm under the direction of the wikimedia foundation controller with additional guidance from the chief financial officer (cfo). It was reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the cfo and the endowment treasurer. Then a meeting of the endowment audit committee was held at which the treasurer and external accounting firm walked through the draft in detail for the audit committee's approval. The endowment provided the members of the governing body 7 days notice to review the complete copy of the form 990 prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

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

“The organization's board members, officers, executives, and key employees (covered persons) complete annually a conflict of interest statement the purpose of which is to identify any personal, family and/or business relationships and/or transactions that may pose a potential conflict. The filed conflict of interest forms are submitted to and reviewed by the board or a committee of the board. Additionally, covered persons complete annually a pledge of personal commitment that affirms that the individual is in compliance with the conflict of interest policy and that the individual will promptly notify the board when a conflict or potential conflict arises. Furthermore, in the case of a conflict, the individual agrees to refrain from using his or her personal influence to encourage the wikimedia endowment to enter the transaction and must physically excuse himself or herself from any further discussions other than to answer questions about the transaction. In the case of potential conflict, the remaining board members review the potential transaction to determine whether said transaction is fair and reasonable to the wikimedia endowment.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The audited financial statements are available on the endowment's website: https://wikimediaendowment.org/#reports. The governing documents and conflicts of interest policy are available at the endowment's section on the wikimedia foundation website: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/endowment”

Form 990, Part VII

“The endowment does not have any employees of its own and does not pay compensation to any staff. The staff who support the endowment are paid by the wikimedia foundation, and the endowment pays the wikimedia foundation for their services.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE 990 WAS DEVELOPED BY AN EXTERNAL ACCOUNTING FIRM UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION CONTROLLER WITH ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FROM THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (CFO). IT WAS REVIEWED FOR ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS BY THE CFO AND THE ENDOWMENT TREASURER. THEN A MEETING OF THE ENDOWMENT AUDIT COMMITTEE WAS HELD AT WHICH THE TREASURER AND EXTERNAL ACCOUNTING FIRM WALKED THROUGH THE DRAFT IN DETAIL FOR THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S APPROVAL. THE ENDOWMENT PROVIDED THE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY 7 DAYS NOTICE TO REVIEW THE COMPLETE COPY OF THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
