Governance Explanations

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

“The CEO worked closely with the Board Treasurer to prepare the Form 990. Then, the Form 990 draft was sent to the full Board of Directors for review before final submission.”

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

“At the first Board meeting of each year, Mountaintop requires Board Members to submit a signed and dated document disclosing all conflicts of interest. Any documented conflicts of interest require a follow-up conversation with the management team. If the management team identifies a significant conflict that would compromise the ability of a Board Member to be a responsible fiduciary of the organization, the Board Member is asked to resign from the Board.”

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

“At the direction of the Board Treasurer, Mountaintop's Board of Directors reviewed market comp data to determine a fair salary for the Mountaintop CEO on September 7, 2023. The Board unanimously approved the salary. All compensation for officers and key employees require approval from the Board of Directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The public may view the most recent Form 990 and IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter on our website. Mountaintop provides other governing documents and financial statements upon request.”

IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0During the tax year, Mountaintop established and maintained a documented due-diligence and monitoring framework for its grants and other assistance within the United States. Prior to awarding any assistance, the organization verifies recipient eligibility, reviews proposed budgets and activities, and obtains a signed grant agreement specifying use of funds. After disbursement the organization monitors performance as follows: recipients must submit quarterly progress and financial reports, which are reviewed by the programs team. The organizations staff or designated agents conduct periodic site visits or remote audits of projects, assessing whether assistance is used for its intended purpose and achieving desired outcomes. For multi-year commitments, the organization has a compliance checklist that tracks milestone payments, recipient compliance certifications, and any deviations from plan. At year-end, the finance department reconciles actual expenditures against the approved budgets and assesses any required corrective action or fund re-allocation. If any grant funds are found to be misused or materially delayed, the organization has the right to suspend further payments, recover or re-allocate funds, and require a corrective action plan from the recipient.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The CEO worked closely with the Board Treasurer to prepare the Form 990. Then, the Form 990 draft was sent to the full Board of Directors for review before final submission.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1At the first Board meeting of each year, Mountaintop requires Board Members to submit a signed and dated document disclosing all conflicts of interest. Any documented conflicts of interest require a follow-up conversation with the management team. If the management team identifies a significant conflict that would compromise the ability of a Board Member to be a responsible fiduciary of the organization, the Board Member is asked to resign from the Board.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2At the direction of the Board Treasurer, Mountaintop's Board of Directors reviewed market comp data to determine a fair salary for the Mountaintop CEO on September 7, 2023. The Board unanimously approved the salary. All compensation for officers and key employees require approval from the Board of Directors.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The public may view the most recent Form 990 and IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter on our website. Mountaintop provides other governing documents and financial statements upon request.
