|---|---|
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The prepared Form 990 is reviewed by senior management, the members of the Audit Committee, and then provided to the Board of Trustees prior to filing. Management, the Audit Committee members, and the independent auditors review and discuss the return. If necessary, the independent auditors submit an updated Form 990 to the CFO. The CFO confirms that the updates are accurate and posts the final draft to Drop Box. The URL address for the Drop Box file is circulated to the Board. The Chair of the Audit Committee delivers the Committee report on the preparation and review of the 990 to the Board and recommends the form 990 be filed. When no further changes are to be made, the Form 990 is filed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Caramoor followed its conflict of interest policy. A conflict of interest disclosure statement shall be furnished annually by each trustee and each covered employee disclosing any anticipated or possible conflict situations. Covered employees are senior employees and other employees who have a decision making role in hiring or contracting. Each new trustee shall be advised of the policy and furnished a disclosure statement upon undertaking the duties of such office. When any conflict of interest may be involved in a transaction requiring action by the Board of Trustees or committee of the Board, the interested person shall call it to the attention of the Board of Trustees or such committee and the trustee concerned shall not vote on the matter. Moreover, the person having a conflict shall retire from the room in which the Board or committee is meeting and may not participate in the final deliberation or decisions regarding the matter under consideration. However, that person may provide the Board committee with any and all relevant information before retiring. The minutes of the meeting of the Board or committee shall reflect that the conflict of interest was disclosed and that the interested person was not present during the final discussion or vote and did not vote. When there is a doubt as to whether a conflict of interest exists, the matter shall be resolved by the Board of Trustees excluding the person whose situation will be discussed. When any conflict of interest may be involved in a matter involving an employee, such employee shall notify the Board of Trustees and the Chief Executive Officer of Caramoor. The Board of Trustees may waive any disclosed conflict if it determines such waiver to be in the best interests of Caramoor. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Caramoor has a formal Compensation Committee which reviews annually salaries, bonuses, and benefits for all Caramoor employees. The Committee pays special attention to the positions of CEO, Managing Director, CDO, CFO, and CMO. Annual reviews include self-assessment by the employee, the employee's supervisor, and recommendations from the CEO. The CEO also receives a review from the Compensation Committee. Trustees that sit on the Compensation Committee have all signed "conflict of interest" declarations, and do so annually. The Committee reviews salaries and compensation for similar sized arts organizations in the New York area, and nationally, and uses this information in their decision making. Minutes of the Committee's deliberations and decisions are forwarded to the CFO to be carried out and filed. The last meeting of the Compensation Committee took place on November 12, 2015. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18 | The Organization makes its Form 990 and Form 1023 available for public inspection as required under Section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code by posting it on guidestar.org and other similar types of websites. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | Caramoor's governing documents are made available to the public upon request and are available for inspection at the finance office. Caramoor's conflict of interest policy is made available to the public upon request and is available for inspection at the finance office. Caramoor's 2014 financial statements will be made available to the public on the organization's website and upon request for inspection at the finance office. |
| Form 990, Part XI, Line 2C: | The Organization has a committe that assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process did not change from the prior year. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 4: | Caramoor is in the process of revising its bylaws to align them with the components of the New York State Nonprofit Revitalization Act of 2014. They are expected to be approved by the end of 2015. |
| Form 990, Part I, Line 6: | Through their generous commitment of time, enthusiasm, and expertise, Caramoor benefits from the contributions of volunteers throughout the year. In 2014, over 200 people volunteered part-time at Caramoor in a variety of capacities. This number reflected the scope of Caramoor's presenting activities and educational programs, in addition to the availability of the volunteers themselves. The majority of volunteers act as ushers at Caramoor's year-round music presentations. They are often the public face of Caramoor, acting as greeters, helping audience members to their seats, and helping ensure the visiting public's safety and comfort. * 25-40 ushers work at each concert in the Venetian Theater * 16-20 ushers work at each concert in the Spanish Courtyard * 10 ushers work at each concert in the Music Room * 10 ushers work at each Dancing at Dusk concert on Friends' Field * 10 ushers work at each concert in the Sunken Garden Volunteers also play a major role in Caramoor's arts-in-education programs. They give tours of the collection, lead various elements of each program, and help children and teachers through the campus. They also provide guidance during public tours of the Rosen House as well as performing clerical duties and undertaking cataloging projects. Caramoor's Board of Trustees is responsible for the organization's governance, long-term strategy, and fiduciary oversight, while the senior staff is responsible for the day-to-day operation of Caramoor, including management and recommending annual budgets to the board. The board and staff work collaboratively in setting priorities for the organization's future. Caramoor's board members come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wide range of professional expertise. By serving on various committees, including Finance, Building, Marketing, Development, and more, our board members act as fully engaged stewards of Caramoor's mission. Nearly 100% of the board participates personally by making major contributions to support annual operating costs as well as fundraising for Caramoor. Additionally, individual board members support the organization through the establishment of endowment funds and contributions toward capital projects. |
