Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include any provision for uncertain tax positions, and no related interest or penalties have been recorded in the operating statement or accrued in the statement of financial position. Federal and state tax returns of the Organization are generally open to examination by the relevant taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date the returns are filed. true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking Health & development 806225 806225 806225 Sub-Saharan Afr Development 142118 Wire Trnfrs 4377 Clothing/Suppli Est value Sub-Saharan Afr Medical 333981 Wire Trnfrs 504 Clothing/Access Est value Sub-Saharan Afr Nursing Ed 276150 Wire Trnfrs 49096 Journals and IT Est value 3 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US The Organization conducts periodic field investigations and requires as much detailed financial reporting on the use of funds as the local grantees' resources enable them to provide. Funds are first requested by the grantees but are not provided until sufficient accountability has been received. Part I - Additional Supplemental Information Part I, Line 1 - The region is severely under-developed and accordingly does not often possess the ability to formally apply for grant funds in a manner in which the Organization would demand of an entity based in the United States. This, combined with the fact that the Organization's founder helped also pioneer the development in this area, help to meet the eligibility and selection criteria of the Organization. false Meet/Greet- NC 12510 11449 1061 954 106 Meet/Greet- TX 7822 1728 6094 625 4889 581 1 7185 5990 1195 600 245 150 200 27517 19167 8350 600 870 5993 887 8350 X 29873 Selling price X 5350 Selling price X 2 10608 Quoted prices X IT and textbooks 1 18873 Selling price X Items for event 21 3630 Selling price false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 3: Ceased Conducting or Significant Changes To Services The effective date of the Organization's tax exemption was September 29, 2004. Since then, it has grown in size significantly from a small start-up to a successful operation. In the process, it has undergone some change in the form, but not the substance, of its program services.The narrative on its Form 1023 indicated that the Organization would be "funding the Kellermann Medical Missionary" and that funds would be "used by Dr. Kellermann to provide medical/educational assistance to the Batwa Pygmies in Southwest Uganda." The Form also indicated that the Organization would not make grants.The growth of the Organization and the variety of programs available for funding have caused the Organization to fund education, medical services, and economic development and assistance for the Batwa Pygmies in Southwest Uganda. Funds are no longer used only by Dr. Kellermann but are now provided as grants directly to Ugandan entities. These entities are not registered in Uganda as NGOs (non-governmental [charitable] organizations). Instead, they are independent organizations that work under the purview of the Anglican Church of Uganda to help fulfill the Church's overall mission of outreach, poverty alleviation, and healthcare. However, these entities are not considered religious institutions. Funds are also occassionaly used to provide assistance to individuals who are providing such services there on religious mission trips.These changes do not affect the essence of the Organization's mission. Though the methods of accomplishing it differ in form from the activites disclosed on its Form 1023, these changes have merely resulted from "learning on the job" regarding the most effective way to carry out the mission. Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a: Explanation of Delegated Broad Authority to Committee The board of directors may, by a majority vote of directors, designate two (2) or more of its members (who may also be serving as officers of this corporation) to constitute an executive committee of the board and delegate to such committee any of the powers and authority of the board in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, except with respect to: (a) The approval of any action which, under law or the provisions of these bylaws, requires the approval of the members or of a majority of all of the members. (b) The filling of vacancies on the board or on any committee that has the authority of the board. (c) The fixing of compensation of the directors for serving on the board or on any committee. (d) The amendment or repeal of bylaws or the adoption of new bylaws. (e) The amendment or repeal or any resolution of the board which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable. (f) The appointment of committees of the board or the members thereof. (g) The expenditure of corporate funds to support a nominee for director after there are more people nominated for director than can be elected. (h) The approval of any transaction to which this corporation is a party and in which one or more of the directors has a material financial interest, except as expressly provided in Section 5233(d)(3) of the California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law. By a majority vote of its members then in office, the board may at any time revoke or modify any or all of the authority so delegated, increase or decrease but not below two (2) the number of its members, and fill vacancies therein from the members of the board. The committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings, cause them to be filed with the corporate records, and report the same to the board from time to time as the board may require. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The changes to our programs as reported in Schedule O were discussed with our attorney, who reviewed that section of the Form 990. After his input was received, the entire Form 990 was reviewed by our board, with an opportunity for questions to be asked, and then voted on and approved by the board. The executive director and ex-officio board members also reviewed (but did not vote) the Form 990. Board advisors were invited to review the Form 990 if they so desired, but they did not participate in the vote. All of this occurred before filing. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Annual conflict of interest questionnaires are required to be completed by each board member, officer, senior management, and any related entities. Potential and ongoing conflicts are reviewed by the board to determine whether they are in the best interest of the Organization and do not violate any laws. Those with any approved conflicts are excused from board deliberations and voting. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available These documents are available upon request. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a - Determination of Compensation The board of directors reviewed comparability data for a limited number of similar positions in California and Texas, by which they determined the executive director's salary for 2010-2013. In December 2013, to determine the executive director's 2014 and 2015 salary increases, the board reviewed data from the following sources: Community Council of Greater Dallas: DFW 2013 Nonprofit Salary & Benefits Survey; Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations: The Compensation Report 2012; The NonProfit Times Salary and Benefits Survey, Feb. 1, 2013; GuideStar Compensation Report 2013 (sample). The discussion was covered in conference calls and emails only, but no documentation was formally approved. The organization intends to document and approve these discussions in future years.
