| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1: | THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF THE TRI-COUNTIES CREATES LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSESS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF THE TRI-COUNTIES CREATES LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, 77 CHILDREN RECEIVED A MAGICAL WISH EXPERIENCE. THOUSANDS OF FAMILY MEMBERS, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, VOLUNTEERS, DONORS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND FRIENDS WERE TOUCHED BY THE POWER OF WISHES GRANTED. TOTAL WISHES GRANTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WERE $783,344. OF THIS AMOUNT, $240,318 WAS CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS VENDORS WHO PROVIDED IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS SUCH AS TRAVEL AND TRAVEL SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, AND OTHER SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD'S WISH. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, THESE AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND GRANTED WISH EXPENSE. FOR FORM 990, HOWEVER, THE IRS REQUIRES THAT THE $240,318 OF CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS DELEGATED THE PRIMARY REVIEW OF THE FORM 990 TO THE CEO. THE ORGANIZATION'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WORKED CLOSELY WITH AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE AND ENSURE ACCURACY OF THE FORM 990. THE FORM 990 WAS REVIEWED BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PRIOR TO IT BEING PROVIDED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WAS PROVIDED WITH A COMPLETE COPY OF THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED A "STATEMENT OF VALUES, CODE OF ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY" WITH WHICH ALL OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY AND ACKNOWLEDGE BY SIGNING, UPON THEIR INITIAL INVOLVEMENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER, AN "ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND ETHICS ASSURANCE STATEMENT" (THE "COI STATEMENT"). THE COI STATEMENT REQUIRES OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND KEY EMPLOYEES TO DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF ANY FAMILY AND/OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS THEY MAY HAVE WITH OTHER OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR KEY EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD IS CHARGED WITH ENSURING THE COI STATEMENT AND ADDENDUM ARE SIGNED EACH YEAR BY DIRECTORS, WHILE THE ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IS CHARGED WITH ENSURING THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE SIGNED BY OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. IF ANY COVERED PERSON DISCLOSES A POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT, THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS FOLLOWED: (1) THE CONFLICTING INTEREST IS FULLY DISCLOSED TO THE BOARD; (2) THE COVERED PERSON RESPONDS TO ANY FACTUAL QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD RELATED TO THE DISCLOSED CONFLICT; AND (3) THE BOARD, WITHOUT THE COVERED PERSON, DISCUSSES THE CONFLICT AND APPROVES OR DISAPPROVES THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A | FOR 2018 COMPENSATION, THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, COMPRISED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, NONE OF WHOM HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT, WAS ACCOUNTABLE FOR SETTING A REASONABLE COMPENSATION PACKAGE FOR THE CEO. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE PRESENTED THIS PACKAGE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR APPROVAL. THE BOARD ALSO DEVELOPED, CONSISTENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES, THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE GOALS AND CRITERIA TO BE USED IN DETERMINING VARIABLE COMPENSATION CRITERIA FOR THE CEO. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO GATHERED BENCHMARKING DATA RELEVANT TO CEO'S FROM COMPARABLE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER MAKE-A-WISH CHAPTERS. THE ORGANIZATION'S CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WRITTEN RECORDS INCLUDED THE (1) TERMS OF THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS; (2) A DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPARABLE DATA RELIED UPON BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE; AND (3) DOCUMENTATION OF THE DECISION MADE BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B: THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT HAVE OTHER OFFICERS WHO ARE COMPENSATED AND HAS NO EMPLOYEES WHO MEET THE DEFINITION OF KEY EMPLOYEES. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 | WHILE FEDERAL TAX LAWS DO NOT MANDATE THAT THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION, THE ORGANIZATION MAKES THESE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE IRS FORM 990 ARE ALSO MADE AVAILABLE ON THE FOUNDATION'S WEBSITE. |
| FORM 990, PART X, LINE 27: | THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2018, THE FOUNDATION ACCRUED FOR ESTIMATED COSTS OF REPORTABLE PENDING WISHES WHEN FIVE CERTAIN, MEASURABLE WISH CRITERIA WERE MET. THIS ACCRUAL DID NOT REPRESENT A LEGALLY BINDING LIABILITY BUT WAS CONSIDERED A MORAL OBLIGATION TO THE CHILD BY THE FOUNDATION ARISING WHEN THE FIVE CRITERIA WERE MET. GIVEN THE CHANGES TO THE WISH GRANTING ENVIRONMENT THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN RECENT YEARS, THE FOUNDATION DETERMINED THAT THE CALCULATION WAS NO LONGER REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FUTURE OBLIGATIONS. THE FOUNDATION REMAINS COMMITTED TO ITS MISSION. AS A RESULT OF THIS CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE, NET ASSETS WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2018 HAVE INCREASED BY $675,070. |
