Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 3: Ceased Conducting or Significant Changes To Services
The Organization changed the way it reports its program services. On previous Forms 990, a separate program was reported for each purpose it funds. Beginning with this Form 990, they have been consolidated as one program whose activities are to fund various purposes.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a: Explanation of Delegated Broad Authority to Committee
In accordance with the bylaws, a Board Governance Committee was created. This committee was designated by a majority of the authorized number of Trustees then in office, provided a quorum was present, and consists of two or more Trustees. This committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in the Bylaws, shall have all authority of the Board except with respect to:1) The filling of vacancies on the Board or on any committee;2) The amendment or repeal of Bylaws or the adoption of new Bylaws;3) The amendment or repeal of any resolution of the Board which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable;4) The appointment of another committee of the Board or members thereof;5) The expenditure of corporate funds to support a nominee for Trustee after there are more people nominated for Trustee that can be elected; or6) The approval of any self-dealing transaction.Minutes are to be kept at each meeting of each committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process
The Form 990 was reviewed by the Board Governance Committee for approval with the executive director before being provided to the rest of the board and signed.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts
The commitment to operate with the highest level of integrity and to avoid conflicts of interest is underscored by Standard #6 of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).In the event transactions involving conflicts of interest occur or are proposed:1. All proposed transactions are to be reported to the Board and approved in advance that are beyond normal, routine transactions approved in the annual budget.2. The Board record will demonstrate that the transaction is truly the best interest of the organization, as provided by a competitive bid or comparative valuation, and that it does not violate state law.3. The related party is to be excused during the process of Board deliberation and voting, other than to respond to questions, and is to abstain from voting.4. The Board will perform an annual review of potential and known related-party transactions through annual conflict of interest questionnaires which are completed by each board member, officer, and senior management of the corporation, included related entities.5. Controls are to be established to assure that normal corporate controls and accountability are maintained. In some cases, this may involve assignment of another board member to act on behalf of the organization in dealing with all transactions.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available
These are available upon request.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 1: Change of Accounting Method
Effective for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Organization changed its method of allocating overhead expenses by functional classification for financial statement presentation. Previously, the Organization employed the incremental cost method by which the minimum required costs for overhead were reported as management and general expenses, with only the costs which exceeded this minimum considered available for allocation among other functional classifications. Currently, the Organization reports using the full cost method by which all overhead costs are available for allocation using appropriate allocation rates and cost bases. The Organization believes that this new method provides greater accuracy and a more realistic usage of its costs.
