Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“Form 990 is prepared by an outside tax professional. The form is then reviewed by lindsay's executive director, finance director, treasurer, and audit committee including certain members of the board of directors. This group of individuals then discusses the contents of the return with the outside tax professional. After a full review (with modifications where necessary), the final version of the tax return is provided to all members of lindsay's voting body prior to filing.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“No interested person of lindsay shall participate in making or attempting to influence a decision in which he or she has a real or potential financial interest. A committee of the board of directors reviews all potential conflicts of interest at least annually. All personnel (including employees and volunteers) and board members are required to disclose (in writing) potential conflicts and any related party affiliations. Lindsay seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts (in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with lindsay's policies and procedures.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“Members of the board of directors review the compensation of certain high-level personnel periodically in accordance with irs rules and regulations. Efforts are made to secure compensation data from industry sources in order to determine competitiveness and appropriateness of salaries. Every effort is made to ensure that the process is thorough and transparent in accordance with irs guidelines and lindsay's policies and procedures. The compensation of other employees is reviewed periodically by a member of management. Efforts are made to secure compensation data from industry sources in order to determine competitiveness and appropriateness of salaries and all related benefits. All decisions are then documented in the appropriate personnel files.”

Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:
“Lindsay's audit committee is responsible for the oversight process of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of its independent accountants. This responsibility is unchanged in the current year from the prior year.”
Financial Statement Notes
PART III, LINE 1A:
“Collections - lindsay's collections include both live animal and natural history specimens. The live animal collection includes wild animal species native to california and a collection of domestic rodents, rabbits and non-native insects and spiders. The natural history collection includes approximately 16,000 objects, including animal mounts, skins, bones, wings, feathers, insects, spiders, botany, fossils, geologic specimens and native american artifacts. Where necessary, proper documentation and permits are maintained for restricted items. The live animal and natural history collections are maintained as a vital resource to support lindsay's mission to connect people with wildlife to inspire reponsibility and respect for the world we share. The primary purpose of the collections is education and the collections are used in exhibit hall programming, educational classes, programs, field trips, and special events. The natural history collection is secondarily used for exhibit purposes as well as a reference for artists and for classroom teachers to complement their classroom curriculums.”
PART V, LINE 4:
“Lindsay has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to operations and programs while seeking to maintain a significant corpus of donor-restricted funds. Under the investment policy approved by the board of directors, the endowment funds are invested in a manner that is intended to produce average annual returns which are appropriate in light of the endowment funds' time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance and performance expectation. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that lindsay must hold in perpetuity or for a donor-specified period.”
PART X, LINE 2:
“Accounting standards require an organization to evaluate its tax positions and provide for a liability for any positions that would not be considered 'more likely than not' to be upheld under a tax authority examination. Management has evaluated its tax positions and has concluded that a provision for a tax liability is not necessary at fiscal year-end. Generally, lindsay's information returns remain open for examination for a period of three (federal) or four (state of california) years from the date of filing.”
