Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8bCurrently there are no separate committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe process followed for review of the Form 990 is to distribute it to the Board of Directors for independent review by the Board Members for review, discussion, and comment. Any questions that arise are discussed and addressed by the Members of the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cDemocracy Fund Voice, Inc. monitored and enforced its conflict of interest policy by gathering from its directors and officers disclosure of conflicts of interest. The policy outlines a process to be undertaken if there is a potential violation of the policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Democracy Fund Voice, Inc. places a high value on ethics and transparency. Our Forms 990, other governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request.
Form 990 Part VIIThis note explains the relationship between DFV and DF and how that relationship is reflected in DFV's responses to questions in Part VII. As explained in Democracy Fund Voice's Form 1024, Democracy Fund Voice and Democracy Fund are parties to a cost-sharing agreement, under which Democracy Fund charges Democracy Fund Voice for its proportionate share of office space, employee services, and administrative expenses. DFV and DFI, however, are not "related organizations" under the Form 990 definition of that term. Therefore, this Form 990 does not include Schedule R, where related organizations are required to disclose information about shared costs and services. In the interest of clarity and transparency, in Part VII, DFV reports the total amount of compensation paid to the listed individuals, and DFV reimburses DF for its proportionate share of that amount, per the cost-sharing agreement.
