Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

There are meeting notes that are kept for each committee meeting. But there is nothing formal.

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

Mama has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. Once the form 990 has been prepared, reviewed by management and the governing body and is ready to be filed with the the internal revenue service, it is provided to all members of the organizations governing body for review prior to its submission. The governing body is provided with a reasonable amount of time to review the form 990. Any comments are then grouped, summarized and provided through management to the outside accounting firm. Any applicable issues are addressed before the return is finalized and approved for filing.

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

Mothers against media addiction currently has in place a conflict of interest policy which it regularly monitors and enforces. The board mandates that all memebers of management and the governing body annulally sign a conflict of interst policy and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. If a potential or actual conflict of interest exists, the governing body and management will investigate the issue. If a conflict of interest is determined to exist management and the governing body will be notified immediately. The member will not be allowed to vote or be a part of any decision about any such transactions that have to do with the conflict until such time that there is no longer a conflict.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The compensation of executive director is approved by the board of directors based on a salary compensation plan. Mama does research and identify market rates and pay the employee on par with what the market rates are for that, along with factoring in experience. Because of new organization with only 501c3 status last fall, the founder & ed is committed to the org's success and therefore when onboarded as a w2 earlier this year, agreed to be paid less than half the market rate. The goal next year, as quickly as we can, is to establish formal salary bands to ensure equitable compensation throughout the organization.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The org is in the process of creating a page on their website to include the very first 990 filing, and will include a section where the policy documents can live as well.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THERE ARE MEETING NOTES THAT ARE KEPT FOR EACH COMMITTEE MEETING. BUT THERE IS NOTHING FORMAL.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1MAMA HAS ITS FORM 990 PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM AND HAS ESTABLISHED THE FOLLOWING REVIEW PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION REPORTED IS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE. ONCE THE FORM 990 HAS BEEN PREPARED, REVIEWED BY MANAGEMENT AND THE GOVERNING BODY AND IS READY TO BE FILED WITH THE THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, IT IS PROVIDED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATIONS GOVERNING BODY FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO ITS SUBMISSION. THE GOVERNING BODY IS PROVIDED WITH A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REVIEW THE FORM 990. ANY COMMENTS ARE THEN GROUPED, SUMMARIZED AND PROVIDED THROUGH MANAGEMENT TO THE OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM. ANY APPLICABLE ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED BEFORE THE RETURN IS FINALIZED AND APPROVED FOR FILING.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2MOTHERS AGAINST MEDIA ADDICTION CURRENTLY HAS IN PLACE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WHICH IT REGULARLY MONITORS AND ENFORCES. THE BOARD MANDATES THAT ALL MEMEBERS OF MANAGEMENT AND THE GOVERNING BODY ANNULALLY SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTERST POLICY AND DISCLOSE ANY POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICTS THAT MAY EXIST. IF A POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS, THE GOVERNING BODY AND MANAGEMENT WILL INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DETERMINED TO EXIST MANAGEMENT AND THE GOVERNING BODY WILL BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. THE MEMBER WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE OR BE A PART OF ANY DECISION ABOUT ANY SUCH TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE CONFLICT UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THERE IS NO LONGER A CONFLICT.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THE COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BASED ON A SALARY COMPENSATION PLAN. MAMA DOES RESEARCH AND IDENTIFY MARKET RATES AND PAY THE EMPLOYEE ON PAR WITH WHAT THE MARKET RATES ARE FOR THAT, ALONG WITH FACTORING IN EXPERIENCE. BECAUSE OF NEW ORGANIZATION WITH ONLY 501C3 STATUS LAST FALL, THE FOUNDER & ED IS COMMITTED TO THE ORG'S SUCCESS AND THEREFORE WHEN ONBOARDED AS A W2 EARLIER THIS YEAR, AGREED TO BE PAID LESS THAN HALF THE MARKET RATE. THE GOAL NEXT YEAR, AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN, IS TO ESTABLISH FORMAL SALARY BANDS TO ENSURE EQUITABLE COMPENSATION THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4THE ORG IS IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING A PAGE ON THEIR WEBSITE TO INCLUDE THE VERY FIRST 990 FILING, AND WILL INCLUDE A SECTION WHERE THE POLICY DOCUMENTS CAN LIVE AS WELL.
