Prior to filing, the 990 is distributed to all directors. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Under our conflict of interest policy (the "policy"), each director and officer (each, an "interested person"), is required to annually sign a statement that affirms such interested person: (i) has received a copy of the policy; (ii) has read and understands the policy; (iii) has agreed to comply with the policy; and (iv) understands that we are a charitable organization and, in order to maintain our federal tax exemption, we must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of our tax exempt purposes. We also conduct periodic reviews as required by the policy regarding, among other things, whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable and a result of arm's length bargaining, and whether partnerships, joint ventures and arrangements with management organizations conform to our written policies, do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management The SVUDL Board used non-profit compensation data from two commercially available surveys to review market compensation for this position considering geography, type of non-profit work performed, organization size, position, title, and responsibilities. The executive director's compensation was set by a unanimous vote of the full board, and documented in the offer letter to the Executive Director, after considering this material, without any participation by the Executive Director. It is the intent of the SVUDL board to follow substantially the same process each year in reviewing and adjusting as appropriate the Executive Director compensation. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available Conflict of interest policy, financial statements, and all governing documents including board bylaws are available to the public on request. Restricted Contributions for Non-Program Costs Silicon Valley Urban Debate League (SVUDL) is committed to fully leveraging non-board donor contributions; accordingly each year the board of directors sets itself a minimum target of jointly contributing at least all of the non-program costs of SVUDL, restricted to cover non-program costs, so that all non-board donations are spent 100% on program.
