“The board of a related organization, the humane society of the united states (hsus) approves and confirms the election of ddal directors and officers.”

“The ddal board has no committees.”

“AFTER INTERNAL ACCOUNTING STAFF DRAFTS THE 990, THE DRAFT IS SUBMITTED TO DDAL'S INDEPENDENT TAX PREPARERS FOR THEIR REVIEW AND REVISION, AS MAY BE APPROPRIATE. THE REVISED DRAFT IS THEN GIVEN TO DDAL'S TREASURER FOR FURTHER REVIEW. DDAL was dissolved on September 7, 2021 and the Board of Directors is no longer active. Therefore, the proposed final Form 990 is sent to the former board chair for their consideration, as well as the Board of Humane Society Legislative Fund to which DDAL's assets were contributed. ONCE these individuals Have HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND COMMENT, THE FINALIZED VERSION IS FILED WITH THE IRS.”

“Ddal is an affiliate of the humane society of the united states (hsus) and all ddal staff members are hsus employees. Accordingly, all policies and procedures of the hsus apply to ddal including, inter alia, those codified in the current hsus employee handbook. In cases where the literal reading of hsus policies and procedures may or could cause confusion (e.g., the hsus conflict of interest policy's references to hsus directors), for purposes of internal ddal activities, these policies will be read to apply as close as possible to ddal, making substitutions in terminology as necessary to achieve the desired goal. In case of any conflict between the policies and procedures of the hsus and ddal, the stricter will control. Ddal has adopted a conflict of interest policy to reinforce the obligation of officers and directors to disclose actual or potential conflicts. The policy covers ddal officers and directors. Ddal board members and/or officers who are directors or senior staff members of hsus are subject to additional annual reporting requirements in those capacities. A decision as to whether a conflict exists and how it should be addressed with regard to ddal is made at the ddal executive level or, if necessary, by its board. Consideration of possible conflicts is also provided during the legal review of proposed transactions and concerns are addressed before proceeding. Individuals having possible conflicts of interest cannot vote or participate in board or committee deliberations on the subject or to be counted toward meeting a quorum; however, they may respond to questions.”

“Ddal makes its articles of incorporation and bylaws available to donors free of charge upon request. Formal audited financial statements are filed with state charitable solicitation registrations and are made available to major donors and where required by state law, to the general public by mail. Ddal makes copies of the three most recently-filed forms 990 available to the public upon request both by mail and in person at the offices of the humane society legislative fund in washington, dc as set forth in irs code section 6104(d). The conflict of interest policy has not been made available to the general public.”

“DDAL filed Articles of Merger of DDAL with and Into Humane Society Legislative Fund with the State of California on September 7, 2021.”
