|---|---|
| Form 990, Part I, Line 8 | NAF regularly receives large, multi-year grants that appear as significant changes in contributions and grants from one year to the next. Because some of these grants are temporarily restricted to certain programs or to certain periods of time, these large, multi-year grants may also cause the total revenue less expenses or net income to appear negative one year, then positive the next, and back and forth. For a more complete picture of NAF's operating activity, please see our annual audited financial statements as made available at our website, www.nonprofitsassistancefund.org |
| Form 990, Part I, Line 19 | NAF regularly receives large, multi-year grants that appear as significant changes in contributions and grants from one year to the next.

As a supporting organization of The Minneapolis Foundation, a bare majority of the NAF board members are presented to and formally elected by the Board of Trustees of The Minneapolis Foundation. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b | Given that Nonprofits Assistance Fund (NAF) is a supporting organization of The Minneapolis Foundation (TMF), and according to the bylaws of the NAF, the Board of Trustees of TMF may at any time remove a director of the board of NAF that TMF has also elected to the NAF Board. The Board of Trustees of TMF may also appoint a director to fill any vacancy of a NAF board member formally elected by TMF in the event of a vacancy caused by death, resignation, or removal. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | The audited financial statements, on which the Form 990 is based, are presented to the Finance Committee in June by the auditors. The 990 is prepared by the Finance Director based on the audited financial statements. The 990 is then reviewed by the Executive Director. The 990 is then distributed to the board of directors before the 990 is filed by its August deadline. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | Nonprofits Assistance Fund's conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually by all employees and board members. Each staff member and board member is required to disclose any dualities of interest in writing. New employees and board members review the policy and disclose dualities of interest in writing upon first joining the staff or board. In the course of business, if and when a relevant duality of interest arises, the employee or board member discloses it verbally and is recused from any decision making role related to the dual interest. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | The executive committee of the Nonprofits Assistance Fund board of directors is responsible for reviewing annually the performance and salary of the executive director. Based on the review, the committee determines compensation for the executive director. In its salary determination, the committee considers salaries of executive directors in peer organizations with comparable experience, consults survey data of nonprofit executives, and reviews the history of the executive director's compensation. The executive director's salary was last reviewed in Spring 2015. No changes to the executive director's salary have occurred since that time. The next review is scheduled for Fall 2016. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | Nonprofits Assistance Fund makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to anyone upon request. NAF governing documents include its articles of incorporation, bylaws, and IRS Form 1023. NAF financial statements, annual reports, and quarterly investor reports are available to the public via its website. NAF financial statements include its audited financial statements, single audit (when required), and IRS Form 990 including schedules and attachments. |
| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a | Jean Adams, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of The Minneapolis Foundation, serves on the Nonprofits Assistance Fund board of directors. Because NAF is a Type I supporting organization of The Minneapolis Foundation, Ms. Adams' compensation by The Minneapolis Foundation is listed here as that of a related organization. |
| Form 990, Part XII, Line 2b | Nonprofits Assistance Fund (NAF) issues its audited financial statements separately. However, NAF is a Type I supporting organization of The Minneapolis Foundation (TMF) and TMF consolidates NAF's financial statements into TMF's audited financial statements. |
