“Howard appel and david cohen have a business relationship.”

“The president, executive director, and controller review the form 990 in detail prior to signing and filing. The board of directors reviews the form 990 as a group each year at a special meeting.”

“Annually, each director, officer and committee member signs a statement which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, b. Has read and understands the policy, c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, and d. Understands the organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal exemption it must engage primarily in the activities which accomplish its tax-exempt purposes. Also, any issues are reviewed at board meetings throughout the year.”

“The board of directors review and evaluate the performance of the executive director annually. Comparable data from sawa (the society of animal welfare administrators) is factored in when determining compensation. This process is documented in the board minutes and the personnel file, and was last undertaken in 2018.”

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

“The organization has made its best efforts to comply with tax laws based upon the information available at the time of filing. At the time of filing this form 990, the audit of the organization's financial statements has not been completed. Rather than file a delinquent tax return, the organization and tax professionals made their best efforts to determine the proper tax treatment and reporting of various items based on the organization's unaudited financials. The organization will amend this return if upon completion of the audit it's determined that the information reported on this return is materially incorrect or inaccurate.”
