Reading to Kids

“The Form 990 was prepared by the Reading to Kids Treasurer based on the information contained in the organization's financial statements, which were previously reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. Prior to the filing of the Form 990, a PDF copy of the Form 990 was emailed to all Board Members for the review and approval of the Board.”

“Reading to Kids annually requires its officers, board members, and employees to sign a conflict of interest disclosure form. If a conflict is identified, the person with the conflict (i) must fully disclose the conflict to all other decision-makers; and (ii) may not be involved in the decision of what action to take (e.g., may not participate in a vote) but may serve as a resource to provide other decisionmakers with needed information. In some cases the person with the conflict may be asked to recuse him/herself from sensitive discussions so as not to unduly influence the discussion of the conflict. In all cases, decisions involving a conflict will be made only by disinterested persons.”

“Salaries of all Reading to Kids employees are determined by the independent Board of Directors through regular reviews of the work of the employees and by comparison to similarly situated employees in the nonprofit sector. Salary reviews are discussed and documented during executive sessions of Reading to Kids board meetings.”

“The Reading to Kids governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. The latest year-end financial statements are also available to the public on the organization's website.”
