      <ActivityOrMissionDescription>The mission of the WIU Foundation is to maximize private support for Western Illinois University to assist in advancing its core values of academic excellence, educational opportunity, personal growth, and social responsibility. Private support enables Western Illinois University to enhance educational opportunities for its students and advance its mission of instruction, research, and public service.Private assistance is sought and administered with the primary objective of serving purposes other than those for which the State of Illinois makes sufficient appropriations.These contributions, when added to State resources, add an extra dimension by supporting programs that might not otherwise be possible. Such generosity enables Western Illinois University to enhance educational opportunities for its students and advance its mission of instruction, research, and public service.</ActivityOrMissionDescription>

        <Explanation>Foundation accountants provide documentation to the tax preparer to prepare the 990 form, including answers to "yes/no" questions. The tax preparer uses all information to prepare the 990. After the 990 is prepared, the accountants in the foundation review the return for any discrepancies. Once all discrepancies have been addressed with the tax preparer, the return is taken to the board (at minimum the executive committee) for review and comment. If no problems are noted, the return is ready for signing and processing.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Key employees of the Western Illinois University Foundation are paid by Western Illinois University (a related organization and governmental entity). Western Illinois University establishes all hiring procedures and pay policies for employees of the Western Illinois University Foundation. When key employees are recruited, an Administrative Compensation Survey conducted by the College and University Processional Association from Human Resources (CUPA-HR) is used to get a salary range. However, the actual offer is based on an individual's qualifications. A search committee comprised of employees from various areas with various backgrounds is used during key employee searches.</Explanation>
