Supplemental Information Detail SupplementalInformationDetail (7 entries)

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Committee meeting documentation Part VI line 8bThe Rainey Center had no other committees with authority other than its board of directors, therefore, it did not contemporaneously document meetings held or written actions undertaken during the year by committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body. The Rainey Center began in 2018. As a new and small organization, the sole governing body of the organization was the board of directors, existing of three people. Going forward, as committees with authority to act on behalf of the board of directors are created, their meetings and written actions will be contemporaneously documented.
Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11The Rainey Center reviews the Form 990 by having both the CEO and Board of Directors review the 990 before it is submitted. The CEO sends the 990 to the three board of directors asking them for their reviews and comments. They have 48 hours to respond, confirming that they have reviewed the 990 and send any comments, if any, about the 990. At a minimum, they are asked to confirm receipt of the email with the 990 for review. If there are any comments, these will be addressed and sent back to them to finalize before submission.
Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12cThe board of directors are in regular contact with each other regarding their professional businesses. The board met for board meetings/calls. Minutes contain the names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, the names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the proposed transaction or arrangement, the governing board or committees decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings. All annually sign a compliance statement.
CEO executive director top management comp Part VI line 15aThe process for determining compensation of the Rainey Centers CEO included a review and approval of the three independent board members, including comparability data and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.
Form 990 availability to public Part VI line 18The Rainey Center began in 2018. As a new and small organization it made available its Form 1023 available upon request. As a new and small organization it was still building out the capacity, such a fully functioning website, to indicate that these specific documents were available for public inspection at such an early stage in the organizations life. They would have been made available upon request. In future, the Rainey Centers website will indicate that these documents are available for public inspection upon request. As the organization is now more than a year old, the Rainey Center will begin creating annual reports available to the public via its website.
Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19The Rainey Center reviews the Form 990 by having both the CEO and Board of Directors review the 990 before it is submitted. The CEO sends the 990 to the three board of directors asking them for their reviews and comments. They have 48 hours to respond, confirming that they have reviewed the 990 and send any comments, if any, about the 990. At a minimum, they are asked to confirm receipt of the email with the 990 for review. If there are any comments, these will be addressed and sent back to them to finalize before submission.
