“A pdf of the final draft of the public disclosure copy of the 990, was provided to the seattle opera audit committee and all foundation board members for review and comment following preparation of the return by seattle opera staff and review by a public accounting firm and management. Since the seattle opera and seattle opera foundation financial statements are consolidated, the seattle opera audit committee takes responsibility for reviewing both the financial statements and the tax returns.”
“Board members review all real and potential conflicts of interest and take appropriate action to mitigate or eliminate them. Board members with any perceived conflict of interest recuse themselves from voting on related subjects. Form 990, part vi, ln 13 and 14 - seattle opera foundation has no employees. Seattle opera employees perform work on behalf on the foundation and are subject to the seattle opera whistleblower and document retention policies.”
“Documents are available to the public on request.”
“Seattle opera foundation was established in 1982 to hold, manage, and invest an endowment that exclusively benefits seattle opera. Contributions to the endowment are considered permanently restricted unless otherwise stipulated by the donor. The endowment includes purpose-restricted funds based on donor intent. Under a spending policy established by the foundation board, income from the investment of these funds supports either the general operations or specific programs of seattle opera, in accordance with donor stipulations.”
“The internal revenue service (irs) has determined that seattle opera foundation is exempt from federal income tax under internal revenue service code section 501(c)3 except to the extent of unrelated business taxable income as defined under irc section 511 through 515.”
