Explanation
PART III: STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
LINE 1: BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
To improve the lives of disadvantaged people and strengthen distressed communities through innovative finance.
PART III: STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
LINE 4A: PROGRAM SERVICE
As a non-profit, mission driven organization, Community Reinvestment Fund ("CRF") provides otherwise unavailable loan capital to communities, small businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations and housing organizations. During FY 2013, CRF provided financing totaling $79 million in 15 states. The loans provided by CRF resulted in the creation or retention of more than 3,430 jobs, financing for more than 279 affordable housing units and the creation of 700 education slots.
PART III: STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
LINE 4B: PROGRAM SERVICE
CRF is an active Fannie Mae servicer and is rated by Standard and Poor's. As an experienced, mission-driven organization, CRF specializes in customized projects for non-traditional portfolios and organizations. During FY 13, CRF provided contract loan servicing for 42 community development lenders, a volume of approximately 5,631 loans amounting to $133,349,000. In addition, CRF serviced approximately 715 economic development and affordable housing loans purchased from local community development lenders and placed into securitizations and structured transactions, thereby freeing up capital for re-use by the local organizations. Also during FY 13, CRF provided servicing for 58 high risk loans on formerly foreclosed homes through a collaborative program in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN.
PART VI: GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT, & DISCLOSURE
SECTION A. GOVERNING BODY AND MANAGEMENT, LINE 7A
SUBSEQUENT TO THE INITIAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES, A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD SHALL CONSIST OF INDIVIDUALS APPOINTED OR ELECTED BY BENEFICIARY ORGANIZATIONS. PER THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARY ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDES SECTION 501(C)(3) LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND UNITS OF FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT, OR DULY CONSTITUTED AGENCIES THEREOF THAT FOCUS THEIR LENDING ACTIVITIES AT ECONOMICALLY DISTRESSED OR DECLINING AREAS, DISADVANTAGED PERSONS, NEIGHBORHOOD OR COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION OR OTHER SECTION 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE PURPOSES.
PART VI: GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT & DISCLOSURE
SECTION A: GOVERNING BODY & MANAGEMENT, LINE 11B
THE 990 IS REVIEWED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT IN DETAIL BEFORE FILING WITH THE IRS. A FINAL COPY OF THE RETURN IS SENT TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO FILING FOR A HIGH LEVEL REVIEW.
PART VI: GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT & DISCLOSURE
SECTION B: POLICIES, LINE 12C
Since CRF is a 501(C)(3) supporting organization, a majority of the governing board could qualify as potential customers. The Board has chosen not to review individual loans anymore, so there is no longer a conflict issue in that area. Certain members are affiliated with financial institutions that may be involved with a CRF transaction, and in those cases, the member abstains from any vote taken. All employees are covered under the Conflict of Interest policy. It is imperative that employees disclose the existence of any actual or potential conflicts of interest as soon as possible so that safeguards can be established.
PART VI: GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT & DISCLOSURE
SECTION B: POLICIES, LINE 15A
THE BOARD DETERMINES COMPENSATION BASED ON A STUDY PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. THE MOST RECENT COMPENSATION STUDY WAS COMPLETED DURING FISCAL YEAR ENDED 2013. The deliberations and decisions are documented with the human resources department.
