“Form 990 is prepared by an independent cpa and a draft is provided to the president or treasurer for review. Upon their approval, a copy is provided to the entire board for their review prior to filing.”
“The conflict of interest policy covers officers, directors, and members of committees with governing board delegated powers ("covered persons"). Any covered person who may benefit from a transaction or arrangement contemplated by the organization is an interested person. Interested persons must disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from the board or committee meeting while the remaining board members determine if a conflict of interest exists. Interested persons may not vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. Covered persons must annually sign a statement affirming they have received the conflict of interest policy, have read and understood the policy, and will comply with the policy.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon reasonable (as determined by the organization) requests from the public. In addition, articles of incorporation and annual corporate reports are available on the arizona corporation commission website, and form 990 is available on the irs website.”
“Save democracy inc. Conducts research and educates the public on election systems, including a variety of existing systems, such as state-funded partisan primary elections, and alternative systems, such as a single non-partisan open primary in which all voters and all candidates are treated equally. Research and education covers the effects these systems can have on various processes of government, including participation rate and inclusivity among voters, and the propensity and ability of elected officials to solve problems collaboratively on behalf of all those they represent as opposed to only a portion of those they represent. We engage interested citizens in educational efforts that expose the deficiencies of our current election system and explore alternative election structures that reward, rather than punish, cooperation and collaborative problem-solving among elected officials. We educate and enlighten a diverse non-partisan community to understand the connection between voting systems and the prospects for making government more efficient, fairer, and more responsive to the needs of all citizens, regardless of party affiliation.”

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | SAVE DEMOCRACY INC. CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ON ELECTION SYSTEMS, INCLUDING A VARIETY OF EXISTING SYSTEMS, SUCH AS STATE-FUNDED PARTISAN PRIMARY ELECTIONS, AND ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS, SUCH AS A SINGLE NON-PARTISAN OPEN PRIMARY IN WHICH ALL VOTERS AND ALL CANDIDATES ARE TREATED EQUALLY. RESEARCH AND EDUCATION COVERS THE EFFECTS THESE SYSTEMS CAN HAVE ON VARIOUS PROCESSES OF GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING PARTICIPATION RATE AND INCLUSIVITY AMONG VOTERS, AND THE PROPENSITY AND ABILITY OF ELECTED OFFICIALS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS COLLABORATIVELY ON BEHALF OF ALL THOSE THEY REPRESENT AS OPPOSED TO ONLY A PORTION OF THOSE THEY REPRESENT. WE ENGAGE INTERESTED CITIZENS IN EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS THAT EXPOSE THE DEFICIENCIES OF OUR CURRENT ELECTION SYSTEM AND EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE ELECTION STRUCTURES THAT REWARD, RATHER THAN PUNISH, COOPERATION AND COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING AMONG ELECTED OFFICIALS. WE EDUCATE AND ENLIGHTEN A DIVERSE NON-PARTISAN COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN VOTING SYSTEMS AND THE PROSPECTS FOR MAKING GOVERNMENT MORE EFFICIENT, FAIRER, AND MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF ALL CITIZENS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION. |
