Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4

“In january of 2025, the organization "barbara mcdowell public interest law center" declared in their articles of amendments a change in name. The new name shall be "barbara mcdowell social justice center".”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“Because the delaware general corporation law requires that "the board of directors of a corporation shall consist of 1 or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person", the organization has one class of membership, and every director is a member. The word "member" means person(s) with the power to appoint the board. Members are like "shareholders" except withhout the ecomomic powers. Members are identical to the directors. By agreeing to appointment on the board as a director, one agrees to serve as a member, and when one ceases to be a director one also ceases to be a member.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“The organization is governed by the board of directors who manage its business and affairs, including strategic planning, fundraising direction, and executive leadership. Decisions are made through regular and special meetings, with a majority vote required for most actions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7B

“The only decision that requires approval by members is the election of board members. There is a membership meeting where the members sapprove the election of the board of directors.”

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

“No review was or will be conducted.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“No documents available to the public.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0IN JANUARY OF 2025, THE ORGANIZATION "BARBARA MCDOWELL PUBLIC INTEREST LAW CENTER" DECLARED IN THEIR ARTICLES OF AMENDMENTS A CHANGE IN NAME. THE NEW NAME SHALL BE "BARBARA MCDOWELL SOCIAL JUSTICE CENTER".
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1BECAUSE THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW REQUIRES THAT "THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF A CORPORATION SHALL CONSIST OF 1 OR MORE MEMBERS, EACH OF WHOM SHALL BE A NATURAL PERSON", THE ORGANIZATION HAS ONE CLASS OF MEMBERSHIP, AND EVERY DIRECTOR IS A MEMBER. THE WORD "MEMBER" MEANS PERSON(S) WITH THE POWER TO APPOINT THE BOARD. MEMBERS ARE LIKE "SHAREHOLDERS" EXCEPT WITHHOUT THE ECOMOMIC POWERS. MEMBERS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE DIRECTORS. BY AGREEING TO APPOINTMENT ON THE BOARD AS A DIRECTOR, ONE AGREES TO SERVE AS A MEMBER, AND WHEN ONE CEASES TO BE A DIRECTOR ONE ALSO CEASES TO BE A MEMBER.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE ORGANIZATION IS GOVERNED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO MANAGE ITS BUSINESS AND AFFAIRS, INCLUDING STRATEGIC PLANNING, FUNDRAISING DIRECTION, AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP. DECISIONS ARE MADE THROUGH REGULAR AND SPECIAL MEETINGS, WITH A MAJORITY VOTE REQUIRED FOR MOST ACTIONS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THE ONLY DECISION THAT REQUIRES APPROVAL BY MEMBERS IS THE ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS. THERE IS A MEMBERSHIP MEETING WHERE THE MEMBERS SAPPROVE THE ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
