| Form 990, Part III, Line 3 Significant changes in program services | At a meeting of the board of directors held on December 18, 2023, the Organization's board of directors approved the Organization's Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. The Plan provides for an orderly sale of the businesses, operations, and real estate, payment of liabilities and other obligations, and an orderly wind down of any remaining operations and dissolution of the Organization. The Organization intends to convert all assets into cash, satisfy or resolve remaining liabilities and obligations, including contingent liabilities, claims and costs associated with the liquidation of the Organization, and then file a certificate of dissolution with the State of Illinois in June 2025. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee | The Executive Committee shall consist of the Board Chair and the Vice Chairs. The Board Chair shall chair the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee shall have the authority to act for and in lieu of the Board between the regular meetings of the Board and in the absence of a special meeting of the Board, provided, however, that the Executive Committee is not authorized to undertake the following: 1. Adopt a plan for the distribution of the assets of the corporation, or for dissolution; 2. Fill vacancies on the board or on any of its committees; 3. Elect, appoint or remove any officer or director or member of any committee, or fix the compensation of any member of a committee; 4. Adopt, amend, or repeal the bylaws or the articles of incorporation; 5. Adopt a plan of merger or adopt a plan of consolidation with another corporation, or authorize the sale, lease, exchange or mortgage of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the corporation; or 6. Amend, alter, repeal or take action inconsistent with any resolution or action of the board of directors when the resolution or action of the board of directors provides by its terms that it shall not be amended, altered or repealed by action of a committee. The Executive Committee shall also review the performance of, and approve compensation for, the President. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body | Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the organization's top management and the Board Chairman prior to filing with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | All members of the Heartland Alliance board of directors, as well as members of the organization's subsidiary board of directors, annually sign a conflict of interest policy, copies of which are retained in the president's office. In addition, all Heartland Alliance senior management, which includes its members of its business office leadership team (BOLT), business initiative & resource development (BIRD), and executive team, are required to annually sign the conflict of interest policy. A copy of the board of directors policy is posted on a password protected portion of the organizations website, designated for board members. A copy of the policy for management is posted on the organizations intranet. Policy requires disclosure of any situation in which there may be even an appearance of potential conflict of interest. When appropriate, members of the board of directors, or senior management, recuse themselves from decision-making if there is any conflict of interest. Relative to board of committee actions, this is reflected in the meeting minutes. The policy is reviewed regularly by the chief risk officer of the organization. Additional monitoring including the reviewing of chief risk officer's policy is performed by the organization's executive team and the risk policy committee of the board of directors. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The compensation committee of the Heartland Alliance board of directors is an independent entity, consisting of the chair and immediate past chair of the board of directors. This body conducts the annual performance evaluation of, and determines the compensation for the organization's president. This body may consult with legal counsel or additional resources in determining fair and competitive compensation for the president of Heartland Alliance. The executive compensation committee also conducts periodic market surveys to assist in establishing the compensation for the president. All deliberations and decisions are contemporaneously documented in the minutes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | The President annually reviews with the compensation committee the performance and recommend compensation for the organization's senior executives, including executive directors of the subsidiary entities and other key members of the executive team. All deliberations and decisions are contemporaneously documented in the minutes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public | The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request. |

As part of this process, the audited financial statements were prepared using liquidation basis accounting. On the Form 990, Part VIII and IX, the revenue and expenses reported are through December 17, 2023 before liquidation. Part XI, Line 9 is reporting the activity after liquidation through June 30, 2024 as "discontinued operations".
