MissionSentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation (the Foundation) is a Colorado notprofit organization formed in 2007 for the purpose of assisting veterans who have suffered severe duty-related injuries resulting in permanent physical disability since September 11, 2001 in their efforts to become productive, self-sufficient, integrated members of their community, and to raise awareness of the sacrifice these veterans have made in order to motivate the local community to rally behind these young men and women and ensure their success. The Foundation develops a scholarship package for each sentinel that may include providing a home or an apartment adapted to the specific disabilities of the veteran, employment and employment training, reliable transportation, financial and career counseling, and mentoring.MissionDesc

DescThe organization's primary performance measures are sentinels placements, overhead expense ratio and fundraising expenses. Placement performance is subjective, but requires that the organization continue to maximize the number of successful placements each year. The organization presently has 294 Sentinels who have been placed since the inception of the program in 2007. The organization benchmarks its financial measurements to the guide of the American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP). Their target is 60% or more spent on program services. AIP's target for fundraising effectiveness is that fundraising expenses account for $35 or less for every $100 raised.Desc

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, Line 11b: Form 990 Review ProcessThe IRS Form 990 will be reviewed and approved by each member of the Sentinels of Freedom Board of Directors before it is filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of ConflictsThe board reviews the conflict of interest policy annually. Monitoring the implementation of the policy is an ongoing process for each individual board member.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top ManagementThe Sentinels of Freedom Board of Directors, at their board meeting (Mr. Conklin abstaining), established the rate of pay effective March 1, 2009, for the Chief Executive Officer (Michael Conklin) to be paid twice monthly and subject to adjustment based on his performance and the funding situation of the Foundation. The board determined that he would be engaged as an independent contractor and no benefits would be provided. This decision followed a review of comparable pay for nonprofit executives with similar levels of responsibility and authority, and continued the amount and circumstances of his pay that had been established by the previous board. Subsequently, at the beginning of calendar year 2010, the Board decided to change Mr. Conklin's employment status from independent contractor to salaried employee, without benefits and at the same rate of pay.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly AvailableSentinels of Freedom will make its IRS Form 990, governing documents, financial statements and policies available for access/download from its organizational Internet web site.
