Governance Explanations

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

The 990 was presented to the board of directors electronically for review prior to the filing date.

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

To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with its tax-exempt purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board of directors. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the board of directors (excluding the interested person) shall decide whether the disclosed financial interest constitutes a conflict of interest. If the board of directors decides that a particular transaction constitutes a conflict of interest, the board of directors shall disallow the transaction that gives rise to the conflict of interest. If the board of directors decides that a particular transaction does not constitute a conflict of interest, the board of directors shall document its decision and the basis for the decision and such determination shall be retained with the organization's corporate and financial records.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15B

When hiring a key officer or employee, including the president, the board of directors shall set compensation (including salary and benefits), and subsequently shall increase or decrease such compensation, based upon fair market standards, taking into consideration objective factors. The board of directors will follow these procedures in setting compensation for key officers and employees: 1. The board of directors will comply with the conflict of interest policy in considering and deciding on compensation; 2. The board of directors must be composed entirely of individuals who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement. The key officer or employee may provide information relevant to the compensation decision, but the key offer or employee shall not participate in deliberations or vote on his/her own compensation; 3. The entire compensation arrangement will be approved in advance of the date of contract; 4. The board of directors will obtain and rely upon information relevant to the criteria set forth in this policy and appropriate comparative data prior to making the determination; and 5. The board of directors will adequately document the basis for its determination concurrently with making that determination.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization's conflict of interest policy, governing documents, and financial statements are available upon request.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE 990 WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTRONICALLY FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO THE FILING DATE.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1TO ENSURE THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, PERIODIC REVIEWS SHALL BE CONDUCTED. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AFTER DISCLOSURE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS, AND AFTER ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (EXCLUDING THE INTERESTED PERSON) SHALL DECIDE WHETHER THE DISCLOSED FINANCIAL INTEREST CONSTITUTES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECIDES THAT A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION CONSTITUTES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL DISALLOW THE TRANSACTION THAT GIVES RISE TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECIDES THAT A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL DOCUMENT ITS DECISION AND THE BASIS FOR THE DECISION AND SUCH DETERMINATION SHALL BE RETAINED WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL RECORDS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2WHEN HIRING A KEY OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL SET COMPENSATION (INCLUDING SALARY AND BENEFITS), AND SUBSEQUENTLY SHALL INCREASE OR DECREASE SUCH COMPENSATION, BASED UPON FAIR MARKET STANDARDS, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION OBJECTIVE FACTORS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES IN SETTING COMPENSATION FOR KEY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: 1. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL COMPLY WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IN CONSIDERING AND DECIDING ON COMPENSATION; 2. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MUST BE COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT. THE KEY OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE MAY PROVIDE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE COMPENSATION DECISION, BUT THE KEY OFFER OR EMPLOYEE SHALL NOT PARTICIPATE IN DELIBERATIONS OR VOTE ON HIS/HER OWN COMPENSATION; 3. THE ENTIRE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT WILL BE APPROVED IN ADVANCE OF THE DATE OF CONTRACT; 4. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL OBTAIN AND RELY UPON INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE CRITERIA SET FORTH IN THIS POLICY AND APPROPRIATE COMPARATIVE DATA PRIOR TO MAKING THE DETERMINATION; AND 5. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL ADEQUATELY DOCUMENT THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION.
