|---|---|---|
| Pt VI, Line 11a | The 990 draft was emailed to all board members for | |
| review during a comment period. Each member was | ||
| requested to respond during that period with either | ||
| an approval or with additions/corrections. Responses | ||
| were then summarized and forwarded to the tax | ||
| preparer for inclusion in the final return. | ||
| Pt VI, Line 19 | The governing documents, 990's, conflict of interest | |
| policy, and financial statements are available upon | ||
| request at the organization's office. The 990's are | ||
| available on the Guidestar website. | ||
| Pt VI, Line 15 | A board member reviewed the salaries of executive | |
| directors at comparably-sized, programmatically | ||
| similar not-for-profits in St. Louis and in different | ||
| types of programs as well. Compensation of executive | ||
| directors of similar organizations in other cities | ||
| was reviewed and taken into account as well. A | ||
| Guidestar review was undertaken for objective | ||
| substantiation. For other staff, compensation was | ||
| based on similar positions in metro area not-for- | ||
| profits. | ||
| Pt VI, Line 12c | Board members are required to sign annually an | |
| affirmation that they have read the conflict policy | ||
| and will abide by its guidelines. It is included | ||
| in the orientation meeting for new members. Board | ||
| members are proscribed from suggesting self- | ||
| dealing contracts or suggesting contracts from | ||
| Form 990, Part IX, Line 24f | OTHER | |
| which family members, associates, etc. would profit. | ||
| Pt XI,Line 2a | On a bi-monthly basis an outside CPA reviews the | |
| accounting transactions, makes entries as needed | ||
| in the accounting software, determines that the | ||
| account balances are correct at the previous month | ||
| end, provides compiled financial statements bi-monthly, | ||
| and acts as a consultant on other business matters | ||
| from time to time. | ||
| Pt.IX,Line 26 | Joint costs - All the specific expenses for the | |
| creation, printing, and mailing of the newsletters | ||
| and other direct mail solicitations and website costs | ||
| are considered 100% fundraising expenses in column D | ||
| when they don't meet the SOP 98-2 criteria of | ||
| purpose, audience, and content. The executive director's | ||
| time expended on combined educational campaigns | ||
| and fundraising solicitations sometimes meets the joint | ||
| cost allocation criteria and sometimes it doesn't. | ||
| Tracking time by specific task (fundraising | ||
| soliciation, newsletter production, speaking | ||
| engagements, meetings with donors and community | ||
| members, writing grants, updating the website, | ||
| working with current and potential volunteers, etc.), | ||
| calculating the cost of each task, then determining | ||
| the allocation based on the joint cost criteria would be | ||
| onerous. As an alternative, the compensation of the | ||
| E.D. is allocated in Part IX based on a reasonable | ||
| estimate of time spent on program, management, and | ||
| fundraising activities. The allocation of her | ||
| compensation in the three categories is included on | ||
| line 26. | ||
| Pt.VIII,line 8c | There is sometimes a "loss" on this line (event | |
| revenue less expenses) due to several things - it's | ||
| generally difficult to determine the FMV of a ticket | ||
| to an event (the gross event revenue on line 8a) and | ||
| some of the costs of hosting an event - postage, | ||
| printing, promotion, etc. - don't contribute to | ||
| the value received by the attendee and so aren't reflected | ||
| in event revenue. If the sponsorships and contributions | ||
| for the event were included, the net revenue would be | ||
| $5,910. | ||
| Pt.IV,line 29 | Some of the space for the 2011 summer program was | |
| donated by a local career training technical school. | ||
| The estimated value of this in-kind donation was | ||
| $20,000. Neither this revenue nor the offsetting | ||
| expense is included in the 990 per instructions | ||
| although the in-kind contribution greatly enhanced | ||
| the program experience of the apprentices. |
