| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Civic Engagement ProgramAPEN, along with allies from the Chinese Progressive Association, Filipino Advocates for Justice and Korean Resource Center, launched the statewide coalition "AAPIs for Civic Empowerment" to galvanize AAPI communities at a grassroots level to engage the public sphere and at the ballot box. APEN also identified 3,555 Environment Justice voters through a multilingual direct voter contact program and piloted a digital organizing platform to grow the base through a series of online petitions which secured 5000 signatures and grew our email list by 3000. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Communications & NetworkAPEN conducted the most successful Oakland Running Fest to date with a team of almost 50 runners, including high profile local leaders. APEN was accepted and participated in ReFrame Mentorship-a hands-on strategic communications mentorship program to amplify organizing, increase power, craft successful narratives and win game-changing victories. APEN's media profile was lifted by several key speaking engagements, including the Executive Director Miya Yoshitani serving on a "Climate and Compassion" panel with the Dalai Lama. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process | Each director on the Board shall receive for their review and consideration a draft of Form 990 and Form 990-T (if the latter is necessary) at least two weeks in advance of filing. Within one week of receipt of the draft Form 990 and Form 990-T, directors shall submit their comments and concerns, if any, to the Board Treasurer and the Executive Director, either of whom may address the comments and concerns, consulting with APENs legal counsel and/or the accounting firm preparing the Form, as necessary. Directors shall identify and submit any critical concerns to the Associate Director, the Executive Director and the Board Chair. Critical concerns shall be resolved jointly by the Executive Director and Chair or by the Executive Committee of the Board, and resolution of such concerns shall be communicated with the director raising the concern and the Board, if deemed necessary by the Executive Director and Chair. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts | Each director, principal officer, Committee member, and key employee shall annually sign a statement which: affirms that the person has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understood the policy, and has agreed to comply with the policy; and discloses that persons interests that could reasonably give rise to conflicts of interest. All such statements by directors, officers, and Committee members shall be filed with the minutes of the Board or Committee. To ensure the Organization operates in a manner consistent with its charitable purposes and tax-exempt status, periodic reviews of this conflict of interest policy, its administration, and its enforcement shall be conducted. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management | When a review of the total compensation of an executive is necessary, the Board or an authorized Board committee shall take the following steps to ensure that such compensation is just and reasonable: 1. The authorized body shall not include any individual who has a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement. 2. Prior to making its decision on the total compensation package, the authorized body shall obtain and rely upon appropriate data as to comparability. 3. The authorized body shall adequately and timely document the basis for its determination that the authorized total compensation for the executive is just and reasonable concurrently with making such determination. This may be accomplished in part by including with the minutes the comparability data obtained and relied upon by the authorized body at the meeting in which the determination was made. 4. To the extent that the Board delegated such authority to a Board committee, the Board shall review and ratify, if it deems appropriate, the actions of such authorized Board committee. Appropriate comparability data will include current compensation paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions. While APEN typically uses information from comparable nonprofits in its area to benchmark pay, the Board understands that the market for executive talent may be broader than this group. Market information from additional market segments (e.g., private foundations, published nonprofit compensation surveys) may be used as a supplement. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees | The process for determining compensation for other offices or key employees is the same as for the compensation of the Executive Director except that the Executive Director determines compensation. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available | Upon written or verbal request. |
