| Description | THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION'S MISSION IS TO GRANT WISHES TO CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO ENRICH THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH HOPE STRENGTH AND JOY. THE FOUNDATION GRANTS WISHES TO CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2 AND UNDER THE AGE OF 18. IN THE PAST YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION FULFILLED THE WISHES OF 44 CHILDREN THROUGHOUT EAST TENNESSEE. HOW WE GRANT WISHES: STEP 1: REFERRAL WE RELY ON MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, PARENTS AND CHILDREN THEMSELVES FOR REFERRALS. CHILDREN WHO HAVE REACHED THE AGE OF 2 AND ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 AT THE TIME OF REFERRAL WHO HAVE NOT RECEIVED A WISH FROM ANOTHER WISH-GRANTING ORGANIZATION MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A WISH. STEP 2: MEDICAL ELIGIBILITY WE DETERMINE A CHILD'S MEDICAL ELIGIBILITY WITH THE HELP OF THE TREATING PHYSICIAN. TO RECEIVE A WISH, THE CHILD MUST BE DIAGNOSED WITH A LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITION - I.E., A PROGRESSIVE, DEGENERATIVE OR MALIGNANT CONDITION THAT HAS PLACED THE CHILD'S LIFE IN JEOPARDY. STEP 3: FINDING THE TRUE WISH WE SEND ONE OF OUR ENTHUSIASTIC WISH TEAMS TO LEARN THE CHILD'S ONE TRUE WISH. THESE PASSIONATE VOLUNTEERS CONNECT WITH WISH CHILDREN AND HELP EXPLORE THEIR IMAGINATIONS FOR THE EXPERIENCE THAT WILL DELIGHT AND INSPIRE THEM. STEP 4: CREATING JOY OUR WISH GRANTERS CREATE AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE DRIVEN BY THE CHILD'S CREATIVITY. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE THAT ENRICHES NOT JUST THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, BUT OFTEN AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY. TOTAL WISHES GRANTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WERE $421,382. OF THIS AMOUNT, $8,859 WAS CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS VENDORS WHO PROVIDED IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS SUCH AS TRAVEL AND TRAVEL SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, AND OTHER SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD'S WISH. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, THESE AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND GRANTED WISH EXPENSE. FOR FORM 990, HOWEVER, THE IRS REQUIRES THE $8,859 OF CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSE. | Description |

SUCH STATEMENTS MUST BE SIGNED UPON DATE OF HIRE, ELECTION, OR COMMENCEMENT OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE, AND AT LEAST ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. THE SIGNED STATEMENTS ARE THEN SUBMITTED TO AND REVIEWED BY THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR IF THEY ARE FROM VOLUNTEERS, AND THE CEO IF FROM STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. REVIEW OF THE STATEMENTS IS MONITORED BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OF WHICH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER BECOMES AWARE INCLUDES, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: (1) DETERMINING THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT VIA VERBAL OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON; (2) FULLY DISCLOSING CONFLICTING INTERESTS TO THE BOARD; 3)THE CONFLICTED PERSON RECUSES HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS REGARDING THE TRANSACTION; AND (4) TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTIONS WARRANTED BY THE CONFLICT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION OF SERVICE. |
| COMPENSATION DETERMINATION | PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A FOR 2009 COMPENSATION, THE CEO'S COMPENSATION WAS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, CONSISTING OF INDEPENDENT PERSONS. IT WAS REVIEWED AGAINST NATIONAL BENCHMARKING SALARY STUDIES, SURVEYS DONE EVERY FEW YEARS BY MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, AND BY LOCAL SALARY SURVEYS CONDUCTED BY STATE ORGANIZATIONS AND BY NATIONAL BENCHMARKING ORGANIZATIONS. THE BOARD'S DISCUSSIONS AND DECISIONS WERE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED. The documentation of the decision includes (a) the terms of the transaction that was approved and the date it was approved, (b) the members of the committee who were present during debate on the transaction that was approved and those who voted on it, and (c) the comparability data obtained and relied upon by the committee and how the data was obtained. PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT HAVE OTHER OFFICERS WHO ARE COMPENSATED AND HAS NO EMPLOYEES WHO MEET THE DEFINITION OF KEY EMPLOYEES. THE SAME PROCESS LISTED ABOVE IS USED FOR OTHER STAFF, USING THE SAME INSTRUMENTS. SALARIES FOR STAFF OTHER THAN THE CEO ARE DECIDED BY THE CEO IN CONSULTATION WITH THE EMPLOYEE'S IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR WITHIN LIMITS SET BY THE BOARD-APPROVED BUDGET. ALL SALARY INCREASES ARE BASED ON METRICS FROM PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. | |
