Governance Explanations

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

The form 990 is provided to the board of directors for review and approval prior to filing.

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

The Board of Director bylaws include a conflict of interest policy. This policy states that any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board-delegated powers who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person and they have a duty to disclose this conflict of interest. Once disclosed, the board (minus the interested party) must determine if a conflict of interest does exist. The interested person is allowed to present information to the board, but must leave the room for the discussion and vote pertaining to the needs of the organization without a conflict of interest, and if there are not, the board must discuss and vote on whether or not the proposal is in the organization's best interest and is fair and reasonable. The person of interest can not be involved in any of these proceedings. The minutes of the meeting shall reflect all information pertaining to the disclosure of the conflict of interest, including naming the person of interest, and of the investigation for a reasonable alternative. Also voting members may not provide information to the board or vote on any matters regarding compensation if the compensation being voted on is their own. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family a. An ownership or investment in any entity with which the Organization has a transaction or arrangement; b. A compensation arrangement with the Organization, or with any entity or individual with which the Organization has a transaction or arrangement, or c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Organization is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The Board of Directors determines the Executive Director compensation, reviewing Jefferson County non-profit salary survey data for context. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a performance review of the Executive Director and approves any salary increase, bearing in mind the constraints of that year's budget.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Summer camp: Annual week-long summer camps are held for middle and high school age students to introduce mindfulness and self-compassion tools in a more in-depth context. Youth develop lifelong skills through social, physical, and outdoor camp activities. In Summer 2024, 20 students participated in our camps, each experiencing 30 hours of instruction. We also held a camp reunion during the year, allowing campers and families to reconnect and continue building community.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Community programs: We offer a variety of workshops and engagements that feature components of the Mindful Self-Compassions for Teens curriculum, with more opportunities for customizations that fit specific needs. Some of the community programs we offered this year included an after-school program (8 sessions) in partnership with the Jefferson County Public Library, and spring break drop-in sessions at the Quilcene Community Center (2 half-day sessions). Classes incorporated art, meditation, journaling, and movement practices to help students arrive in the present moment and learn to manage stress with greater ease. We reached 49 students through these and other community-based classes. Additionally, we reached approximately 727 youth and adults through booths and hands-on activities at large scale community events such as the Connectivity Summit, Jefferson County Pride Fest, Quilcene Beach Day, and All County Preparedness Day.
