Explanation
Form 990, Part I, Line 1
Heartland Alliance - the leading anti-poverty organization in the Midwest - believes that all of us deserve the opportunity to improve our lives. Each year, we help ensure this opportunity for more than one million people around the world who are homeless, living in poverty, or seeking safety. Our policy efforts strengthen communities; our comprehensive services empower those we serve to rebuild and transform their lives. Because of this 125-year commitment, Heartland Alliance has evolved into an organization that is uniquely: Far-reaching: Each year, in Chicago, the Midwest, and around the world, our services help nearly one million struggling people secure the most basic of human needs - housing and health care, jobs and justice. Holistic: Because the causes of poverty, injustice and lack of opportunity are interrelated and interlocking, our programs are similarly comprehensive and integrated, allowing us to achieve an unusual synergy in meeting our clients' needs. Change driven: In addition to direct service, we partner with lawmakers and organizations to shape public policies that fit the needs of everyone, ensuring that even the most vulnerable can realize a brighter future.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11
The organization's Management Coordination Committee (MCC) serves as the Finance and Audit Committee of the Heartland Alliance Board of Directors. The Committee includes representation from board members of Heartland Alliance, as well as its four subsidiaries. The Committee reviews and approves the Form 990. Every Heartland Alliance board member receives the Form 990 for review and has the opportunity to ask the committee any questions prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
All members of the Heartland Alliance Board of Directors, as well as members of the organization's subsidiary Boards of Directors, annually sign a conflict of interest policy, copies of which are retained in the President's office. In addition, all Heartland Alliance senior management (included in the Heartland Alliance cabinet, approximately 60+ of the top directors of the organization) annually sign the conflict of interest policy. A copy of the Board of Directors policy is posted on a password protected portion of the organization's website, designated for board members. A copy of the policy for management is posted on the organization's intranet. Policy requires disclosure of any situation in which there may be even an appearance of potential conflict of interest. When appropriate, members of the Board of Directors, or senior management, recuse themselves from decision-making if there is any conflict of interest. Relative to board of committee actions, this is reflected in the meeting minutes. The policy is reviewed regularly by the Chief Corporate Compliance Officer of the organization. Additional monitoring is performed by the organization's executive team and the Risk Policy Committee of the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
The Compensation Committee of the Heartland Alliance Board of Directors is an independent entity, consisting of the chair and immediate past chair of the Board of Directors. This body conducts the annual performance evaluation of, and determines the compensation for, the organization's President. This body may consult with legal counsel or additional resources in determining fair and competitive compensation for the President of Heartland Alliance. The Executive Compensation Committee also conducts periodic market surveys to assist in establishing the compensation for the President. In addition, the President annually reviews with the Compensation Committee the performance and recommended compensation for the organization's senior executives, including executive directors of the subsidiary entities, and other key members of the executive team. All deliberations and decisions are contemporaneously documented in the minutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19
The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in IRC Section 6104(d).
