| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11 | - The financial statements of the organization are audited annually by an independent accounting firm before the 990 is drafted. The Form 990 is then prepared by the organizations Finance Director. The Executive Director formerly responsible for day-to-day accounting in years prior performs a detailed review of the financial statements and draft of the Form 990 and related schedules and attachments before it is finalized. The 990 is then forwarded to the President, Treasurer and the entire Board of Directors for review, questions and comments before it is finalized and filed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12 | - The conflict of interest policy is given to each new board member as their term begins as part of the Policies Procedures manual. Additionally, an annual review of the policy is done by each current board member. Each is asked to review the policy, disclose potential conflicts of interest and sign the policy. Also, as conflicts arise throughout the year, they are addressed at regularly scheduled board meetings. Board members with conflicts or potential conflicts are excused from discussions and from voting on related issues. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | - All employee compensation is reviewed upon hiring and annually in conjunction with performance reviews and the annual budgeting process. Compensation considerations include 1 online national surveys of compensation at nonprofit organizations, 2 informal surveys of local nonprofit and school district compensation for similar positions, 3 informal survey of compensation at local commmercial river outfitters, and 4 the financial capacity of the organization and available funding. The results are documented. Additionally, the Executive Directors compensation is reviewed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The Executive Director who in 2022 celebrated her 19th year in that role at GCY was paid a salary of 75,249 for the year, plus benefits and PTO. Note Directors/Board members and Officers are not compensated for their board service to the organization. Also, there are no qualifying key employees as defined by the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | - The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, annual Form 990 and audited financial statements available to the public upon request. The audited financial statements and audit report, and the annual Form 990 returns are also available at the GCY website www.gcyouth.org. The annual Form 990 is also available on www.guidestar.org. |
| Form 990, Part IX, Line 20 | - BUILDING PURCHASE EXPENSES The organization purchased its warehouse and office facility in Flagstaff, AZ in January 2020. Interest expense of 23,728 was paid in 2022 on the building loan held by a local bank the only debt the organization holds. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | - EFFECT OF THE PANDEMIC Beginning in March 2020, the organization cancelled 100 of its planned programs/expeditions for 2020 and temporarily closed its facilities to the public due to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic.The majority of trip deposits program service revenue received to that point were refunded. The organization took steps to reduce its operating expenses, reduce staff compensation and apply for various federal relief programs and tax credits see additional information below. Most of its large foundation donors who had previously made restricted grants to the organization removed the restrictions, allowing the organization to use the funds for general operations or as needed. In 2021, a rebuilding year while the pandemic continued, GCY was able to return to approximately 1/3 of the previous level of expeditions in 2019. In 2022, the organization continued rebuilding and reconfiguring its expeditions to meet its constituents changing needs and provided more than double the amount of expeditions as the prior year, and 80 of pre-pandemic levels. As of spring 2023, the organizing is anticipating expedition levels reaching 85-90 of pre-pandemic levels, as it continues to navigate the evolving public health crisis, while serving youth with an strong safety record. See Program Service Accomplishments on p2 of the Form 990 for more details, as well as a discussion below of federal pandemic-related grants and tax credits received. |
| Form 990, Part VIII, Line 11bc | - UNUSUAL EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS FOR 2021 and 2022 Despite the vast uncertainties of the past two years, GCY has worked hard to respond. Between 2020 and 2021, the organization applied for and received 351,000 in federal Covid-19 related grants and tax credits. This includes two fully forgiven PPP loans of 77,800 2020 and 71,000 2021, both of which were recorded as grants in the financial statements. Also received were Employee Retention tax credits totaling 39,588 2020 and 162,731 2021, also recorded as grants in the financial statements. The organization also received in 2021 an endowment gift of 101,937 from a family related to its staff Finance Director, the largest individual donation ever received by the organization.The future investment income earned from the endowed gift is restricted to participant financial aid. In 2022, GCY received an estate gift of 46,144 from one donor. |
| Form 990, Part VIII, Line 3 | - INVESTMENT INCOME In keeping with the audited financial statement presentation, the organization reports its investment revenue net of related investment expenses which totalled 3,272 in 2022. In addition, 27,118 of the total net investment loss of 23,678 in 2022 represents unrealized capital losses.
