The Organization's previously filed Form 990 did not indicate the $404,603 balance as Endowment Funds on the prior year Schedule D. Accordingly, this Schedule D, Part V, Line 1b, Current Year Endowment Contributions includes both the current year contributions of $1,341,476 as well as the previously received endowment-contributions of $404,603, so as to more accurately represent the Organization's end-of-year balance in its endowment funds as of the close of the tax year. The Funds were received and restricted for the Organization's various transitional housing and support services. The Funds are set aside to generate a return on investment, and the Organization may expend an annual maximum of 5% of the market value of the Funds to support housing programs. Part X, Line 2: St. Mary's and Crossroads are qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC and are exempt from federal and state income taxes. The Organization is subject to federal and state income taxes on unrelated business income, if any. Transitional Housing, LLC and 8 Notre Dame are single-member LLCs with their sole member being St. Mary's, an exempt company under Section 501(c)(3). As such, Transitional Housing, LLC and 8 Notre Dame are considered disregarded entities for tax purposes. The Organization follows FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Organization recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Management evaluated the Organization's tax positions and concluded that the Organization had no material uncertainties in income taxes as of September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state or local authorities for three fiscal years from the filing date.

The closure of the program took effect on March 31, 2020, which was three months earlier than planned. This was due in part to the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. The Organization also made the difficult decision to close the GRLZ Radio program, effective September 30, 2020. The ceasing of operations of these two programs was accounted for and presented as discontinued operations. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Kathleen Maple, Chair of the Board of Trustees, and Sharon Donovan Hart, Trustee, have a family relationship. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 Unless otherwise determined by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston, the sole Member of St. Mary's Center for Women & Children shall be Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a The current effective bylaws of the Organization stipulate that the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boston, the Organization's current sole member, shall have the following powers and responsibilities over the Organization's Board of Directors: (a) To approve the selection of the President of the Organization by the Board of Trustees; and (b) To appoint new Trustees and Trustees Emeritus (including any individual named to fill a vacancy). Additionally, The Chair and the Vice Chair of the Organization must be members of the Board of Trustees first appointed by the Member. Any individual proposed by the Board of Trustees for the office of President shall be submitted for approval by the Member. The Treasurer and Secretary shall, in consultation with the Member, be elected to such office by a majority vote of the Trustees at an Annual Meeting of the Trustees. Lastly, the choice of a President is intended to be a collaborative process between the Member and the Board of Trustees. The Member also oversees the process of approving additional Trustees to the Board, in the case of vacancies, as well as approving individuals to serve additional terms on the Board after their initial period of service expires. The Member also maintains the right to remove Trustees from the Board with or without cause. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b The current effective bylaws of the Organization stipulate that the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boston, the Organization's current sole member, shall have the following powers and responsibilities over the Organization's governance decisions. (a) To approve any sale, merger, or consolidation of the Organization, subject to specific conditions and limitations outlined in the governing documents; (b) To approve any borrowing of money by the Organization; (c) To approve any mortgage, pledge or other security interest or similar right to be granted with respect to any assets of the Organization; (d) To approve the dissolution or liquidation of the Organization; (e) To approve any relationship whereby the Organization, directly or indirectly, owns, controls or is controlled by another entity; (f) To approve any amendment to the Bylaws or Articles of Organization; (g) To change the philosophy, objectives, or purposes of the Organization or its ethical or religious standards; and (h) To be responsible for oversight of the maintenance of the Organization's Catholic identity in accordance with the Canon Law and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church as enunciated by the Holy Father and the Bishops in communion with him and, and more specifically, in this regard, in all such matters, to accept, rely upon and defer to the teaching authority of the Archbishop in all matters of faith and morals. Additionally, the Member of the Organization reserves the power to call special meetings and to cast votes at meetings. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The President, CFO, and key members of the Board and finance committee work with the Organization's engaged accountants to prepare and review the Form 990 tax return, to answer any questions, and to approve the Form 990 return for filing. Due to administrative and time constraints, all members of the Board may not receive a copy of the return prior to its filing, though the return is eventually made available for the entire Board's review and consideration, and all Board members are encouraged to read the return in its entirety and to ask questions, should they have any. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each year all members of the Board of Trustees and key employees receive a copy of St. Mary's Center for Women and Children conflict of interest policy along with a conflict of interest disclosure statement. Each member of the Board and key employees complete the conflict of interest disclosure statement noting any areas of conflicting interest. In cases where a conflicting interest may exist it is fully disclosed to the President who shall bring the matter to the attention of the Board of Trustees. The Board determines if a conflict exists, and if a contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair and reasonable to St. Mary's Center for Women and Children. If the transaction is authorized, the person with the conflict of interest is excluded from any discussion or approval of the transaction, competitive bids or comparative value analysis are made, and it must be determined to be in the best interest of the Organization. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 When an officer or key employee is hired at St. Mary's Center for Women and Children, senior management will review the compensation for the position to remain equitable and in line with other like non-profit organizations. The interview process will include senior management, program staff where appropriate, and the appropriate person on the Board of Trustees, who will each interview the candidate. Compensation for the candidate is recommended to the Board and a decision will be agreed upon. In the case of increases in compensation for a key employee, the same process is followed and the recommendation is made to the Board of Trustees who will meet and vote to approve increases annually. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, Form 990 return and financial statements available to the public upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in Section 6104(D). Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: For the year ending September 30, 2021, the Organization engaged Baker Newman Noyes, an independent public accounting firm, to provide audit and tax return preparation services for the St. Mary's Center for Women and Children, Inc. and its affiliates. The audit was subject to the overview of the Organization's CEO, CFO, Treasurer, and members of the Organization's board and finance committee.
