DBA: BUFFALO HILL TERRACE |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1A | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF THE OFFICERS OF THE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CAN ACT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, BUT NO ACTION TAKEN BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS CONSIDERED FINAL UNTIL RATIFIED BY THE BOARD. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4 | IN 2023, THE ORGANIZATION REBRANDED FROM IMMANUEL LUTHERAN COMMUNITIES TO IMMANUEL LIVING AS PART OF A BROADER STRATEGIC EFFORT TO MODERNIZE THE ORGANIZATION'S IDENTITY AND SUPPORT FUTURE GROWTH. HISTORICALLY, THE ORGANIZATION OPERATED UNDER A CONGREGATIONAL MEMBERSHIP MODEL IN WHICH LUTHERAN CONGREGATIONS SERVED AS MEMBERS OF THE CORPORATION AND WERE REPRESENTED THROUGH APPOINTED DELEGATES WHO PARTICIPATED IN ANNUAL MEETINGS AND CERTAIN GOVERNANCE DECISIONS. THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION WERE AMENDED IN DECEMBER 2024 AND THE BYLAWS WERE AMENDED IN FEBRUARY 2025 TO IMPLEMENT A REVISED GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND POTENTIAL EXPANSION. AS PART OF THIS RESTRUCTURING, THE OPERATING ENTITY AND OBLIGATED GROUP IN KALISPELL, MT, WAS RENAMED IMMANUEL LIVING AT BUFFALO HILL TO MORE CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE ORGANIZATION'S EXISTING SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY AND CAMPUS. AT THE SAME TIME, A PARENT NONPROFIT CORPORATION, IMMANUEL LIVING, WAS ESTABLISHED TO SERVE AS THE SOLE MEMBER OF IMMANUEL LIVING AT BUFFALO HILL. THIS CHANGE TRANSITIONED THE ORGANIZATION FROM A DELEGATE-BASED MEMBERSHIP MODEL TO A SINGLE-MEMBER NONPROFIT STRUCTURE, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OR MANAGEMENT OF ADDITIONAL COMMUNITIES OR SERVICE LINES IN THE FUTURE. UNDER THE NEW STRUCTURE, THE PARENT ORGANIZATION PROVIDES GOVERNANCE OVERSIGHT AND ELECTS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF IMMANUEL LIVING AT BUFFALO HILL. AS A RESULT OF THIS GOVERNANCE RESTRUCTURING, THE DELEGATE SYSTEM AND ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS WERE DISCONTINUED, AND THE BYLAWS WERE AMENDED TO REFLECT THAT IMMANUEL LIVING IS NOW THE SOLE MEMBER OF IMMANUEL LIVING AT BUFFALO HILL. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN ITS HISTORICAL AFFILIATION WITH THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA (ELCA) WHILE OPERATING INDEPENDENTLY AND MAINTAINING ITS NONPROFIT CHARITABLE MISSION. THESE CHANGES WERE UNDERTAKEN TO CLARIFY ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, STRENGTHEN GOVERNANCE, AND POSITION THE ORGANIZATION FOR FUTURE GROWTH WHILE CONTINUING TO SERVE OLDER ADULTS IN THE FLATHEAD VALLEY. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 | THROUGH DECEMBER 2024, AT ALL TIMES, AT LEAST 51% OF THE MEMBERSHIP IN IMMANUEL LIVING WERE LUTHERAN CONGREGATIONS AFFILIATED WITH THE MONTANA SYNOD OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA ("ELCA"). ADDITIONAL CONGREGATIONS OF ANY DENOMINATION THAT APPLIED FOR MEMBERSHIP AND SUPPORTED IMMANUEL LIVING'S MISSION AND VISION BECAME MEMBERS. EACH MEMBER CONGREGATION HAD ONE PASTORAL DELEGATE AND BETWEEN TWO AND FIVE ADDITIONAL DELEGATES. AS OF DECEMBER 2024, THE CORPORATION HAS ONE MEMBER: IMMANUEL LIVING, A MONTANA PUBLIC BENEFIT NONPROFIT CORPORATION. MEMBERSHIP IN THE CORPORATION IS NOT OPEN TO ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR CORPORATION. A CHANGE IN THE MEMBERSHIP STATUS CAN ONLY BE MADE BY AMENDMENT OF THE BYLAWS AS APPROVED BY THE MEMBER. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A | THROUGH DECEMBER 2024 THE BOARD MEMBERS WERE ELECTED BY THE MEMBERS' DELEGATES. AS OF DECEMBER 2024 AT LEAST 34% OF THE BOARD SHALL BE MEMBERS OF CONGREGATIONS OR WORSHIPING COMMUNITIES OF THE E.L.C.A. (E.L.C.A. BOARD MEMBERS) AND/OR CHURCHES IN FULL COMMUNION WITH THE E.L.C.A. (FULL COMMUNION BOARD MEMBERS). OF THAT 34% AT LEAST 25% SHALL BE E.L.C.A. BOARD MEMBERS. THE MEMBER SHALL ELECT THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE MONTANA SYNOD OF THE E.L.C.A. AND/OR THE CONGREGATIONS OR WORSHIPING COMMUNITIES OF THE E.L.C.A. SHALL RATIFY THE E.L.C.A. BOARD MEMBERS, WHICH RATIFICATION SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR THE DURATION OF SUCH BOARD MEMBER'S SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ABSENT NOTICE TO THE BOARD OTHERWISE. THE RESPECTIVE CHURCH BODIES AND/OR CHURCHES IN FULL COMMUNION WITH THE E.L.C.A. SHALL RATIFY THE FULL COMMUNION BOARD MEMBERS, WHICH RATIFICATION SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR THE DURATION OF SUCH BOARD MEMBER'S SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ABSENT NOTICE TO THE BOARD OTHERWISE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7B | THROUGH FEBRUARY 2025 AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS REQUIRED APPROVAL BY A TWO-THIRDS VOTE OF THE MEMBERS' DELEGATES. AS OF FEBRUARY 2025, AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS REQUIRE THE APPROVAL OF IMMANUEL LIVING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | PRIOR TO FILING, THE FORM 990 WAS REVIEWED BY THE CFO, CEO, AND BOARD TREASURER. A COPY WAS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | THE ORGANIZATION HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT APPLIES TO BOARD MEMBERS ONLY. POTENTIAL BOARD MEMBERS ARE SCREENED FOR ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BEFORE BEING NOMINATED TO FILL SEATS ON THE IMMANUEL LIVING BOARD. NEW BOARD MEMBERS ARE ORIENTED PRIOR TO ASSUMING THEIR ROLES ON THE BOARD. ALL BOARD MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM ANNUALLY. BOARD MEMBERS WITH CONFLICTING ISSUES MUST ABSTAIN FROM DISCUSSIONS AND VOTES ON THE ISSUE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A | COMPENSATION IS RESEARCHED USING INDUSTRY STANDARD REPORTS AND COMPARISON BENCHMARKS BY AN INDEPENDENT, THIRD-PARTY FIRM. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USED THESE FINDINGS TO DETERMINE A COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. UPON COMPLETION, THE CEO'S COMPENSATION IS NEGOTIATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. A WRITTEN CONTRACT BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THE CEO IS IN FORCE AND REVIEWED ANNUALLY AS PART OF THE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. THE CEO IS THE ONLY EMPLOYEE THAT IS UNDER CONTRACT AND EVALUATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. COMPENSATION FOR THE CFO AND OTHER EXECUTIVES IS REVIEWED BY AND APPROVED BY THE CEO USING THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY DEVELOPED AND RESEARCHED BY AN INDEPENDENT, THIRD-PARTY FIRM WHEN EVALUATING THE CEO'S COMPENSATION. ALL DELIBERATIONS AND FINAL DECISIONS ABOUT THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WERE DOCUMENTED IN THE BOARD MEETING MINUTES OR COMMITTEE MINUTES THAT ARE ALSO REPORTED TO THE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD ALSO ACTS AS THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE ORGANIZATION HAS A ROBUST COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND PLAN AS WELL AS A COMPENSATION CALENDAR TO WHICH THE BOARD REVIEWS AND ACTS ON ANNUALLY. THE PROCESS DESCRIBED HERE WAS LAST COMPLETED IN 2025. |
