        <ReturnReference>Form 990 Review Process</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>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.)</Explanation>
