Governance Explanations

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

“The board delegated authority to the finance committee to review and accept the tax return. The tax return is provided to the board before signing.”

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

“Each director, officer and key employee shall annually sign a statement which affirms that such person: 1) has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy; 2) has read and understands the policy; 3) has agreed to comply with the policy; and 4) understands that the corporation is a charitable organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.”

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

“The board chair along with a subset of the board/executive committee form a committee to conduct an annual executive director performance evaluation and compensation determination for the organization. The committee meets independently of the executive director to discuss the executive director's performance. The committee may, in cooperation with the executive director, set goals or benchmarks for the year ahead, accomplishments relative to these, if they are established, may be considered in the determination of performance. Once consensus is reached regarding the performance, the committee shall form a recommendation to the board of directors concerning compensation. A relevant salary survey (professional innovators in education salary survey and king county nonprofit salary survey) is used to benchmark compensation for this position. The committee presents its' findings and recommendations to the board of directors in an executive session for review and approval. The committee or the board chair shall then meet with the executive director to discuss and document performance findings and compensation.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
