Facts And Circumstances Test
For 2013, our calculated ratio was 19.4%. We expect to raise our ratio each year going forward, targeting 2017 for achieving 33.3%. In 2012, we began a strategic re-evaluation of our programs, public message and fundraising strategy that ultimately resulted in a feasibility study completed at the end of 2013 and a fundraising strategy for 2014 through 2017 designed to raise funding in a manner that will eventually achieve 33.3% public support. In 2010 we launched our first public solicitation of funding via a dinner and art auction. In 2011 we launched our first annual campaign. Through the end of 2013, we had received more than $60,000 from over 500 individual donors, ranging from $5 to $5,000 in size. Approximately 10% of those individual donors had made repeat donations. Our bylaws require that our leadership be representative of our public stakeholders and mission. Our board must be composed of a majority of individuals of American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Alaska Native recognition, and our president/CEO must also be Native. At the end of 2013, our president/CEO was Native Hawaiian, and our 10-person board consisted of one Alaska Native and seven American Indians. Our board chairman Marshall McKay was the chairman of the Yoche Dehe Wintun Nation, and board member Cheryl Andrews-Maltais was chairwoman of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head. The other eight board members were representative of the arts, culture, philanthropy, education and the community. Since our inception we have invested heavily in our mission and programs. As of the end of 2013, we had awarded $1,602,000 to 85 individuals and organizations in 22 states. For 2013, our programmatic expenses were 75% of expenses. In 2011 we held a two-day convening of over 100 experts and practitioners in the field of Native arts and cultures. One purpose of our website is to continually inform the public about the work of our fellows. During the course of 2013, our website was viewed more then 27,000 times by the public. We currently publish a bi-monthly e-Newsletter whose 2013 distribution topped 5,000 public subscribers. To further our interaction with the public, we manage a Facebook page that publicizes current events and opportunities in the Native arts and cultures field, and has more than 4,000 followers, and we have 1769 Twitter followers and 54 LinkedIn followers. Our office is located in a single story multi-office complex in a residential neighborhood with plenty of parking and is ADA compliant. Our office signage is clearly visible to the public, and our door is kept open during office hours of 8:30am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday. We welcome drop-in visitors. We regularly field general telephone inquiries from the public on the subject of Native arts and cultures, and provide direction where possible.

Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b
The form is prepared internally and reviewed with our finance committee of the board of directors. The form is then distributed to the full board prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c
Each director, officer, and staff member must annually sign a statement that affirms that such person has (a) received a copy of our conflict of interest policy, (b) has read and understands this policy, and (c) has agreed to comply with our policy. Compliance includes the following provisions: Whenever any director, officer, or staff member becomes aware that we are considering a transaction that potentially creates a conflict of interest, that person is obligated to notify the board and to disclose all material facts relating to the person's interest in the transaction The board will determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists and take action that the board deems appropriate. The interested person may not be present when the board makes its determination other than to answer questions. If no conflict of interest is found to exist, the minutes of the meeting must record the basis of the board's determination. If the board determines that a transaction would create a conflict of interest, the transaction must be approved in advance by only those board members who do not have a conflict with respect to the transaction. Any interested person therefore must excuse himself from consideration of the transaction. Such person may not vote on the transaction or be present during any discussion of the transaction other than to answer questions. Interested persons may be counted for the purpose of determining existence of a quorum.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
Compensation for the president/CEO was set by the board in 2013 based off original independent analysis, comparable data, and contemporaneous substantiation. The president/CEO sets the compensation for the CFAO using comperable data and contemporaneous substantiation.
