Part VI, Question 11A	Form 990 Review Process	The annual IRS Form 990 is prepared each year by the foundation's independent audit firm from relevant information provided by the foundation's team members. The CFO reviews the first draft of the 990 Tax Return and returns it with corrections, edits or comments to the audit firm. After review and revision by the audit firm, the CFO forwards an updated draft to the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors for review. After review and approval by the Finance Committee, the preparer (audit firm) finalizes the tax return for filing and provides a copy of the final Form 990 to the CFO. The CFO provides a copy of the final Form 990 (in paper or electronic form) to each member of the Board of Directors. After the CFO and/or the audit firm (as necessary) adequately address any questions or issues raised by any members of the Board of Directors with respect to the final Form 990, the CFO signs the return and files with the IRS by appropriate means (mail, electronic filing, etc.)
Part VI, Question 12c	Conflict of Interest Monitoring Process	Board members and disqualified persons are covered by the conflict of interest policy. The CFO reviews reported conflicts and brings them to the attention of the Chairman of the Board. The individual will recuse him/herself from discussion and voting on any matter where a conflict is identified.
Part VI, Question 15a & 15b	Process to determine officer & key employee compensation	The compensation committee of the board consults with an outside contractor who conducts a market survey. The last compensation study was conducted in 2007 for all officers and key employees. An annual incremental increase in 2008 and 2009 was determined from the 2007 baseline compensation.
Part VI, Question 19	Documents available to the public	The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements may be provided to the public upon request.
