| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | Before the tax return is filed, members of Grist's Management Team, including the CEO, Director of Development, and Director of Finance, will review the detailed information included in the return for accuracy and appropriateness. This group has a strong understanding of Grist's operations and finances as well as the return's format and purpose. Any questions or issues will be discussed and agreed on as a group. The entire board receives a copy of the Form 990 for review and comment prior to the filing date. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | All officers, directors and employees of the organization must comply with Grist's conflict of interest policy. Officers and directors review and sign the policy on an annual basis; employees do so at their start of employment. Any conflicts or matters that may arise are discussed and considered immediately. If a true conflict exists, the affected individual(s) is restricted from participating in any decision-making related to the matter. No conflicts have arisen in the past. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | For the CEO and Founder: An independent committee of the Board, led by the Board Chair and including the Board Treasurer and two other Board Members, uses market salary studies and committee members' knowledge of and comparison to other nonprofit organizations to determine compensation. This committee conducts two compensation evaluation processes. 1) Salary: The CEO and Founder are eligible for salary increases in line with the rest of the staff based on a performance review. The Committee collects input from the Board and staff about how the CEO and Founder are performing as managers and leaders. When applicable, the committee may also consider a market adjustment to the salary based on compensation studies or other market research and surveys. 2) CEO and Founder's bonuses: A set bonus pool is determined at the beginning of the fiscal year, and the amount awarded is calculated by the committee based on actual performance versus budgetary and objective goals for the organization. For other employees: Other employees' compensation amounts are determined by the CEO. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | Financial statements are posted on Grist's website, distributed via biennial Reports, and available upon request. |
