Mission DescriptionThe Organization seeks to promote social reconstruction in South Africa and neighboring countries by facilitating access to credit for low-income borrowers through the provision of loan guarantees to mainstream banks and other financial institutions. As these lenders have historically been reluctant to extend credit to a sector of the population they consider un-bankable, the majority of Southern African citizens, absent the guarantees, would continue to be economically marginalized.MissionDescription

DescriptionDuring the 2011 tax year, the organization had outstanding as many as 7 agreements guaranteeing commercial loans to emerging small businesses and microfinance intermediary organizations in South Africa, plus one additional facility in neighboring Swaziland. The aggregate exposure involved in the guarantees totaled approximately $3,017,800 in the year, a year in which financial institutions in the region, but particularly in South Africa, retreated from lending into a sector which they perceive as high risk and returning margins too thin to significantly improve their bottom lines. Nonetheless, the credit facilities arranged by Shared Interest in the US, because they were limited to no more than 75% of the exposure, did unlock total lending of sums in excess of the stated amount by virtue of the risk-sharing agreed in the contracts between local institutions and the Organization working through its local partner, the Thembani International Guarantee Fund. Additionally, the guarantee program, implemented by means of the proven trans-border mechanism of standby bank letters of credit, continued to give confidence to institutions in South Africa other than traditional banks, such as union pension funds and groups of private local investors, to put capital at risk in the sphere of small business finance and lending to economically-disenfranchised individuals. Collateralizing this activity, and the letters of credit, are the US-based investments of the Organization, derived from loans and donations by American individuals and institutions whose willingness to risk capital for a charitable purpose has worked significantly to mitigate the economic marginalization of a class people once dismissed as utterly unbankable. Cumulatively, since the inception of Shared Interest, more than 2,000,000 low-income persons have benefited from the Organization's guarantees.Description

SchF_P01_S00_L02Schedule F, Part I, Line 2The Organization requires quarterly and annual financial statements and periodic narrative reports of program accomplishments from grantees. Additionally, the Executive Director makes field visits at least once annually but more often twice a year. If an independent audit was conducted of any grantee, a copy is required to be furnished to us. In the case of the Thembani International Guarantee Fund, a related entity organized under South African law as an "association not for gain," the Organization has seats on its Board of Directors and these US members attend the annual meeting in their capacities as Directors. Other contact is regular and sustained and conducted by mail, telephone and email, most notably by members of the Credit Committee of the filing organization's Board of Directors, the members of which regularly carry out due diligence in terms of beneficiaries proposed for loan guarantees and exercise their power to approve or disapprove support for credit applications of emerging businesses and microfinance intermediaries lodged with mainstream lending institutions in the Southern African region.
SchF_P01_S00_L03Schedule F, Part I, Line 3Grant payments were made in USD but a payment due to a South African bank resulting from its call on a Shared Interest guarantee was valued based on the exchange rate for the South African Rand published on December 31, 2011. Consequently, the Organization's share of a loss on a defaulted loan is shown as $92,615 when converted at the rate of $1 = 8.0980 Rand.

SchG_P01_S00_L02bSchedule G, Part I, Line 2bRelative to custody of funds, the fundraising firm had custody of some of the funds, but not control over use thereof. For purposes of tracking pledge fulfillment only, the firm received some of the dinner-related payments in the form of check at the firm's address. All checks, however, were made payable to Shared Interest and forwarded to the Organization by overnight courier at least weekly. At no time, did the fundraiser have authority to make deposits or otherwise cash the funds.
SchG_P01_S00_L02bvSchedule G, Part I, Line 2b(v)The Organization paid all fees of the fundraiser directly from its own bank bank account. There was never any offset or retention of monies the fundraiser received in fulfillment of pledges. In addition to the professional fee reported here, the Organization reimbursed the fundraiser in the amount of $1,216.74 for certain categories of expenses pre-agreed in the contract. Expenses stipulated were telephone, overnight courier, and in-house printing and transportation costs.

IdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
F990_P06_S0B_L11bForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bOnce a tentative Form 990 is prepared the Organization forwards an electronic copy to each of the 9 members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. Accompanying the draft form is a narrative which includes highlights of any changes in the Form from the prior year version (What's New). Convening by conference call, the Executive Committee reviews the draft paying particular attention to governance issues and financial issues to the extent they have bearing on the preservation of the Organization's tax exempt status. Once the Committee is satisfied their input is reflected in the draft Form, a copy of the 990, and all of its schedules, is forwarded to each member of the full Board with instructions that, should they have comments, they need respond as soon as possible so that the final document is filed timely.
F990_P06_S0B_L12cForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cEvery year, before its November annual meeting, Shared Interest distributes a conflict of interest form to each member of the Board and requires that each Board member complete and return it prior to the conclusion of the meeting. The form seeks disclosure of any conflict of interest in the context of IRS guidance to the form 990 and its Glossary defining key terms.
F990_P06_S0B_L15Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15Shared Interest's Board members, with the exception of one who is also CEO of a related organization, serve voluntarily and receive no compensation save for reasonable reimbursement of expenses related to their work as Board members. Every two years, the Board's Personnel Committee reviews existing salary ranges for ALL of Shared Interest's employees and sets those ranges anew based on comparability studies and data from like organizations in the New York City area. After determining the ranges, the Committee makes recommendations for adoption by the full Board and sees to it that salaries of all hires fall within policy parameters. Should a Board member apply for compensation that could possibly be interpreted as presenting a conflict of interest, the Board refers to its written policy document and proceeds to address the issue in the manner prescribed. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested party, s/he must leave the Board of Directors or Committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. Only disinterested members may vote on a conflict of interest issue. In the event the transaction or arrangement is deemed actually to present a conflict between the interest of one of its members and those of the Organization, the Chairperson of the Board or Committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising reasonable due diligence in this regard, the Board of Directors or any committee shall determine whether the Organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Board or any committee shall determine by majority vote of disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable and at arm's length. In conformity with the aforesaid determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.
F990_P06_S0C_L19Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19All of Shared Interest's governing documents, the conflict of interest policy and financial documents are available to the public at no charge for photocopying or printing. While we have not yet had anyone ask to inspect our documents in the office, we would be pleased to make these available on our premises at a mutually convenient time. We have had inquiries about our Form 990. For those who find it more convenient, Shared Interest refers them to Guidestar or the website of NYS Attorney General, which also provides links to other websites where the Form 990 is available. Finally, now that we have the completed 990 in PDF format, we are happy to send it to anyone requesting an electronic copy. Shared Interest also makes its annual report, which contains its most recent audited financials, available on its own website (and also mails and emails copies to all supporters for whom it has either street or electronic addresses).
F990_P07_S0A_L01aForm 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1aAverage Hours Per Week worked by Shared Interest Board members and Officers in the exercise of their duties are generally with respect to Shared Interest, and not to its related organization (which also has its own South African Board). This is true except in the cases of 3 Shared Interest Board and Officer persons who also sit on the Board of Thembani International Guarantee Fund. However, in the case of the CEO of Thembani, who is a full-time officer of that organization and a volunteer director of Shared Interest, the number of hours reported (51) includes just one hour per week representing time expended on average in the governance of Shared Interest.
F990_P11_S00_L05Form 990, Part XI, Line 5Shared Interest's audited financials include unrealized appreciation/depreciation on securities as an item of revenue. As Form 990 treats such income as among other changes in net assets, or fund balances, the 2011 net decline in the fair market value of Shared Interest's investments is a reconciling item totaling negative $219,428.
