Information about Schedule O (Form 990 or 990-EZ) and its instructions is at| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| FORM 990, PART VI - SECTION B, LINE 11B | FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS: The NCMA Foundation's governance includes an Audit Committee operating under a formal charter. The Audit Committee serves as an independent and objective party to monitor the Foundation's financial and compliance reporting process including oversight of the 990 tax filing as well as its internal control system. The Audit Committee meets with external auditors and Foundation management to review the results of the annual audit and related financial statements and reviews the full 990 tax filing prior to its submission. A copy of the 990 tax filing is made available to the full board for comment before filing. The 990 is also reviewed by chief legal counsel. |
| FORM 990, PART VI - SECTION B, LINE 12C | MONITORING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: The Audit Committee also serves as the ethics committee for the Foundation, overseeing the whistleblower, records retention, conflicts of interest and confidentiality policies. The Audit Committee Chairman is the independent party to which employees and board members may report any ethics concerns or possible conflicts of interest. The Committee meets at least twice per year and more often as necessary. Potential conflicts of interest are reviewed with the Foundation's Chief Deputy Director and Chief Financial Officer as needed for resolution. An annual acknowledgement process occurs with all board members and staff whereby they formally certify receipt of all governance policies and agreement to comply with them. |
| FORM 990, PART VI - SECTION B, LINE 15 | PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION: The Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors has the primary governing responsibility of overseeing human resource matters and also works in conjunction with the Finance Committee as it relates to any financial impact of decisions taken. The Personnel Committee serves as an independent and objective party to monitor the Foundation's personnel, compensation, stipend and compliance processes as necessary. Their charter outlines specific responsibility for evaluating the performance of the Foundation's Chief employee (the Chief Deputy Director/ and Chief Financial Officer) and setting the senior employee's compensation level based on the results of this evaluation. The Museum Director is a state employee whose compensation is supplemented by the Foundation. The Director also has a consulting agreement with the Foundation under which he receives certain additional compensation upon Board discretion. The Personnel Committee's charter also outlines specific responsibility for evaluating the Museum Director's performance under this agreement and making recommendations to the full board with respect to compensation. To ensure any compensation recommendations are reasonable, the Personnel Committee meets and discusses annually the performance of both the Museum Director and the Foundation's Chief employee based upon specific goals and accomplishments outlined for the year. The Committee reviews the latest American Association of Museum's (AAM) annual salary survey as a basis for comparison of compensation reasonableness. The AAM survey provides benchmark data of US Museums by geographic area, population, and budget size for key museum positions. Final recommendations are submitted to the full board for approval and inclusion in the Foundation's operating budget. |
| FORM 990, PART VI - SECTION C, LINE 19 | MAKING INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC: The Foundation's Articles of Incorporation are on file with the North Carolina Secretary of State and are publicly available. The Foundation's other governing documents, conflict of interest policies and financial statements are not generally made available to the general public except by specific request for purposes clearly identified and approved by the board. All Foundation employees have access to these documents on a shared intranet drive and independent contractors are provided with certain of these documents as appropriate to their legal relationship with the Foundation (example, conflicts of interest policy and sexual harassment policy) as specifically approved by the Board or as required for tax exempt organizations. The Foundation's latest 990 tax filing is posted on a public website, Guidestar. |
| FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 7C & PART XI, LINE 5; SCH D, PART XI, LINE 2A | In August of 2014 the Foundation transitioned its investment portfolio to a new investment advisor. Investments previously held in the portfolio were liquidated and reinvested resulting in unrealized losses of $8,793,590 and realized net gains of $7,651,307. The net realized and unrealized loss of $1,142,283 reflects the true impact of market conditions on the portfolio for the period ending 6/30/15. |
| FORM 990, PART X, LINE 13 | INVESTMENTS - PROGRAM RELATED: DURING 2015 AND 2014, THE FOUNDATION BECAME THE BENEFICIARY OF RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE AND ARTWORK HAVING A TOTAL APPRAISED VALUE OF $1,650,000 AND $980,000, RESPECTIVELY. THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, WHICH WAS VALUED IN MARCH 2014 AT $830,000, BASED ON AN INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL, LESS ESTIMATED SELLING COSTS, AND RECORDED AS SUCH BY THE FOUNDATION IN 2014, WAS SOLD FOR $687,024 ON JANUARY 5, 2015 RESULTING IN A LOSS TOTALING $142,976. THE ARTWORK, VALUED AT $1,650,000, IS BEING HELD AS AN INVESTMENT AS OF JUNE 30, 2015. |
