Applications are reviewed by staff, an Advisory Council of sexuality experts, and the Board of Directors, which use a set rubric for each section of the application. Once winners are determined, funds are only paid out in full directly to 501(c)(3) organizations; individuals or groups that do not have a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor must sign fiscal sponsorships with the Effing Foundation. The Foundation requires documentation for all purchases or reimbursements made using granted funds (quotes, invoices, and/or receipts) and these purchases must be accounted for in the project's budget. The Foundation follows up with grantees once to twice per year to check on project performance and collect impact data. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The submitter provided electronic copies of this 990 and all supporting forms and documentation to all members of the Board of Directors. Directors were instructed to read through the form and alert the submitter of any questions or concerns before submission. Affirmative consent from the Treasurer was required before submission. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Each fiscal year, all Board members and key employees are required to sign an acknowledgement form that they have received the Foundation's Conflict of Interest policy and agree to abide by it. For any Board decision that the Board has determined involves an Interested Party as defined by the policy, that person recuses themselves from discussion and voting on that decision. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 No officers or directors were offered compensation this fiscal year. Our Administrator transitioned from being a contractor with the Foundation to being a part-time employee in February 2021.
