Part X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and classified by the Internal Revenue Service as other than a private foundation. However, income from activities not directly related to the tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no tax on unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2022. Effective October 1, 2009, the Foundation adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax guidance FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Accordingly, the Foundation recognizes the effect of income tax positions only when those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Foundation believes the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Foundations financial statements.

ExplanationDecisions to award Sentinels of Freedom Scholarships (grants/assistance) are made by the Board of Directors of the Foundation and are recorded in board meeting minutes. The Board deliberation in awarding a scholarship involves a review of the application and other input and a discussion of candidate interviews. While the decision to award a scholarship is recorded, the details of the deliberation are not. The amounts of the scholarships are needs-based, with the amount varying as needs arise over the life of the scholarship. Scholarship grants are normally paid by the Foundation directly to property owners, vendors or others supporting the Sentinels over the life of the Scholarship.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bThe 990 is reviewed independently by the CEO and CFO as well as our bookkeeper comparing the information contained in the 990 to our records. The there is a final meeting and if no discrepancies are found the CEO signs the 990.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cThere is no formal method of monitoring, but our team and the board are very small and well known to each other. A conflict would be hard to conceal, and the consequence of a potential conflict not likely significant to the foundation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15aControlling, and for the most part minimizing, foundation overhead is one of our prime factors in our compensation reviews. Our goal is to provide a fair wage resulting in minimize employee turnover. We have established wage ranges for each position, and we look to provide modest increases each year (if funds are available) to adjust for the inflation rate. We also benchmark our wages every few years to make sure we are in an appropriate range using the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Salary Study.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19Sentinels of Freedom will make its IRS Form 990, governing documents, financial statements and policies available for access/download from its organizational Internet web site. Copies will also be provided by mail to those who request a mailed copy.
