| Explanation | The ARRL Foundation generally awards initial funding to organizations for new amateur radio related projects. The funding awards range from $1,000 to $4,000, with most awards approximately $2,000. The Foundation rarely awards follow up grants. The focus of the grant program is to support Amateur Radio organizations with programs to educate, license and support Amateur Radio activities with emphasis on youth-based activities. The review process for grant proposals takes 8 to 10 weeks. Proposals are sent to a four-member Grants Committee that makes a recommendation to the full Foundation Board. A majority vote of the full board is required for grant approval. The Grants Committee may have questions or seek clarifications from applicants. Responses to such inquiries are required in writing (via email) before the review process is finalized and the proposal is submitted for board vote. Grantees are required to provide the ARRL Foundation with progress reports and final reports on the completion of the project, detailing the results and impact of the project, and a final financial report. The ARRL Foundation awards annual Scholarships to qualified applicants. Each Scholarship has distinct qualification requirements and is prefunded through donations and earnings on those donations. Recipients of the Scholarships are determined by the ARRL Foundation Scholarship Committee after a rigorous review of applications and supporting documents. Most scholarships have eligibility requirements such as area of study and/or regional criteria, as dictated by the donor in the Terms of Reference when the scholarship was created. Scholarships, with one exception, are merit based and the most qualified recipient(s) is selected based on these requirements. Members of the Scholarship Committee are appointed annually by the ARRL Foundation Board President. The ARRL Foundation awards more than 80 Scholarships annually. Monetary awards are paid directly to the educational facility the recipient will attend. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 is prepared with the assistance of the independent accountants and, before filing, is reconciled to the organization's books and records and reviewed by the Controller of the supported organization. Also, prior to filing with the IRS, an electronic copy is provided to members of the Board of Directors. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | No less frequently than once a year, each Board Member shall promptly submit a statement to the Foundation President identifying all business and other affiliations in which the Board Member has a Financial Interest, as defined. A Board Member shall promptly disclose to the Foundation President any situation where a family member (spouse, child, grandchild, niece or nephew) has applied for an ARRL Foundation Scholarship. If the Board Member serves on the scholarship committee, the Foundation President will advise the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee and the Board member will recuse himself from the scholarship selection process for that year. Except in the instance of a continuing and pervasive conflict, no action shall be taken when a Board Member fully discloses to the Board his or her financial interest and abstains from participation in the Board's consideration of the proposed transaction, contract, or arrangement could reasonably be considered to a "financial benefit" to such Board Member, as defined, whether or not the Board Member believes a conflict exists. After disclosure of the potential conflict of interest, the Foundation President and disinterested members of the ARRL Foundation Board shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists or continuing and pervasive conflict of interest exists. Neither the Board nor any Committee of the Board shall vote upon any proposed matter, transaction, contract, or arrangement in connection with which an actual or possible conflict of interest has been disclosed by a Board Member until such time as the Foundation President has addressed the actual or possible conflict of interest. Decisions regarding conflicts of interest will be reviewed by the Foundation President and disinterested Foundation Directors shall be limited to the materials submitted which are pertinent to the proposed conflict of interest. A majority of the Board of Directors is required to reverse any decision. Each Board Member shall annually sign a statement which affirms that such person: Has received a copy of the current conflict of interest policy; has read and understands the policy; Has agreed to comply with the policy; and Understands that the ARRL Foundation is a non-profit organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The organization's By Laws, Articles of Association and financial statements are all posted on ARRL'S web site. The conflict of interest policy is included in the By Laws. |
| FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C: | THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES MADE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S OVERSIGHT OR SELECTION PROCESS DURING THE TAX YEAR. |
