“Approximately one week prior to filing, the draft Form 990 will be sent electronically to all trustees, with an email calling their attention to portions of the form most likely to be read by the public and funders on Guidestar. In addition, representatives of the board, appointed by the board chair, will review and discuss, either in person, via telephone, or via email, the draft in advance of filing.”
“Each director, principal officer, member of a committee with board-delegated powers, 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) agrees to comply with the policy; (4) understands that the policy applies to all committees and subcommittees having board-delegated powers; and (5) understands that the foundation is a charitable organization that must engage in activities that accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes to maintain its exempt status.”
