| Form 990, Part III, line 2 | As of January 1, 2019, Sanford became the sole member of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (Society). The Society, together with its affiliates, provides senior care services across the country and operates skilled nursing facilities, residential housing for seniors, home and community based health services and affordable housing projects. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 | The following officers, board members, and key employees are employees of Sanford or its related organizations.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 is prepared internally by the Tax Department and reviewed by executive management. An external accounting firm reviews the return. The Tax Department prepares return highlights and key disclosures for the Board of Trustees meeting prior to the return filing date. Before the return is filed, a complete copy is provided to the current Board of Trustees. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The annual Conflict of Interest disclosure process is managed by the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The CCO is responsible for assuring that all completed forms are returned in a timely and complete manner. Conflict of Interest questionnaires are sent to System Trustees, members of the governing boards of subsidiary entities, officers, and key employees for all entities subject to the IRS Form 990 filings. The disclosures are summarized for review by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees, pursuant to policy. This review allows: 1) The Board to acquire an awareness of financial relationships of board members and key management employees and can invoke the recusal process on a case-by-case basis if potential conflicts are implicated in Board decisions and deliberations, and, 2) Gives the Board the opportunity to seek additional information and clarification about disclosures to determine potential conflicts of interest, and how to manage such. |
