| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1 | The Executive Committee is made up of 10 Trustees and includes the 3 major operational officers. The Executive Committee is to exercise the power and authority of the board between meetings of the board subject to limitation imposed by law or the board. The Executive Committee, however, shall have no power to elect new trustees, select a president or other chief executive officer, or approve any amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the Controller and the office of the CFO. The Controller then provides a complete copy of the return to the chair of the audit committee and to all audit committee members for review. The audit committee follows up with the Controller and CFO on any questions that may arise and a meeting is held to discuss the Form 990 with the Controller, CFO, and indepdent CPA firm. Once all questions are adequately addressed and all corrections made, the audit committee approves the Form 990 and the Chair of the audit committee recommends approval by the full Board of Trustees. The finalized 990 is then provided to the full Board of Trustees prior to filing the return. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Annually, officers, trustees and key employees are required to read the conflict of interest policy and to sign and return a completed conflict of interest statement. These are reviewed by the Director of Compliance & Risk Management. Throughout the year, any transactions undertaken by the Seminary are reviewed for instances of conflict of interest prior to entering into the agreement/transactions. If an instance of non compliance should occur, the Seminary would address it and make the necessary corrections if needed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Organization receives from The Association of Theological Schools & The Commission on Accrediting a special purpose report titled "Institutional Peer Profile Report." This report references operating statistics, including salary ranges for all executives, faculty and staff. The report compares the Organization to a customized list of 20 comparable accredited institutions. Data from this report is utilized by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees to set executive salary ranges in a closely competitive and resource limited environment with consideration of effective performance of the individuals. The final decisions are reflected in the compensation packet provided to the President and all officers which would reference approval of the contract in the Executive Committee minutes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available upon request. In addition, our tax return is posted on Guidestar and both our annual audit and tax returns (both the Form 990 and 990-T) are available through our Fuller (external) and Portico (Internal) websites. |
| Form 990, Part VII, column (F): | Compensation reported in Part VII, column D and Schedule J, Part II, column B is the amount reported on the individual's W-2, box 1 or 5 (whichever amount is greater) per the IRS instructions. In the case of minister's compensation when box 5 of the W-2 is not applicable, box 1 compensation is used. Employee deferrals to qualified retirement plans are normally captured in box 5, not box 1 of Form W-2. For reporting purposes we have included the minister's retirement plan deferrals in Part VII, column F and Schedule J, Part II, column C. |
| Form 990, Part VII, column (F): | The Former President is still being paid because he is now a faculty member. In accordance with the Form 990 reporting rules, his compensation is required to be reported because he was President in the last 5 years. |

Thus, we have reported the revised net asset categories from the audited financial statements as follows on Form 990, Part X, Lines 27-29: Line 27 - Net assets without donor restrictions $52,732,622 Line 29 - Net assets with donor restrictions 158,700,976 Total net assets $211,433,598 |
