Governance Explanations

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

“The executive director reviews the 990 before it is filed.”

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

“The montana photonics and quantum alliance (mpqa) requires all directors, officers, employees, and committee members with board-delegated powers to annually affirm that they have received, read, and agree to comply with the organization's conflict of interest policy. When a potential conflict arises, the interested person must disclose the nature of the financial interest to the board or relevant committee. After disclosure, the individual leaves the meeting while the board or committee determines whether a conflict exists and, if so, ensures the interested person does not participate in discussion or voting on the matter. The board or committee documents all disclosures, determinations, and related actions in the meeting minutes, including names of individuals involved, the nature of the interest, alternatives considered, and voting records. If a member fails to disclose a conflict, the board addresses the matter and allows the member to respond before taking corrective action.”

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

“The executive director's compensation is reviewed and approved by the board of directors. The board considers the organization's size, scope of activities, and comparable positions in the field when determining compensation. The decision and approval are documented in the board's meeting minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The alliance is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(6) of the internal revenue code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the alliance's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation on unrelated business income. There were no such activities during the year ended december 31, 2024. The alliance continues to operate in compliance with its tax-exempt purpose. Management does not believe its financial statements include uncertain tax positions.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWS THE 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE MONTANA PHOTONICS AND QUANTUM ALLIANCE (MPQA) REQUIRES ALL DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS WITH BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS TO ANNUALLY AFFIRM THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED, READ, AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. WHEN A POTENTIAL CONFLICT ARISES, THE INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE NATURE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST TO THE BOARD OR RELEVANT COMMITTEE. AFTER DISCLOSURE, THE INDIVIDUAL LEAVES THE MEETING WHILE THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES WHETHER A CONFLICT EXISTS AND, IF SO, ENSURES THE INTERESTED PERSON DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN DISCUSSION OR VOTING ON THE MATTER. THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DOCUMENTS ALL DISCLOSURES, DETERMINATIONS, AND RELATED ACTIONS IN THE MEETING MINUTES, INCLUDING NAMES OF INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED, THE NATURE OF THE INTEREST, ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED, AND VOTING RECORDS. IF A MEMBER FAILS TO DISCLOSE A CONFLICT, THE BOARD ADDRESSES THE MATTER AND ALLOWS THE MEMBER TO RESPOND BEFORE TAKING CORRECTIVE ACTION.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE BOARD CONSIDERS THE ORGANIZATION'S SIZE, SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES, AND COMPARABLE POSITIONS IN THE FIELD WHEN DETERMINING COMPENSATION. THE DECISION AND APPROVAL ARE DOCUMENTED IN THE BOARD'S MEETING MINUTES.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
