Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part III, line 3Beginning in FY24, the State of Minnesota changed the structure for distributing Early Learning Scholarship funds by consolidating administration under a single statewide grantee rather than multiple regional area administrators. Although Think Small had the opportunity to bid on the statewide contract, the Organization determined that expanding from service in two counties to all 87 counties did not align with its strategic priorities and therefore did not pursue the contract, resulting in a decline in pass-through revenue in FY25.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bUpon completion and review by management, the draft form 990 will go to the finance committee for review. Upon the finance committee's approval, it will be submitted to the full board for final review and approval. Once complete, the approved document is filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cAnnual notifications are given to all affected officers, directors, trustees and key employees along with a requirement for a signed conflict of interest statement. The conflict of interest policy is designed to identify situations that present potential conflicts of interest and to provide the organization with a procedure which when observed will allow a transaction to be treated as valid and binding. Any responsible member is required to disclose any potential conflict of interest before the board or committee thereof who shall determine without the interested individual if a conflict of interest exists. The responsible person shall refrain from any action that may affect the organization's decision regarding such contract or transaction and may not participate or hear the board or committee's discussion of the matter, is not counted for the presence of a quorum, and may not vote. The organization documents proceedings related to conflicts of interest in the meeting minutes or as otherwise appropriate.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The CEO and senior management's pay is set through a process that looks at both outside market data and internal pay structures. Think Small uses industry salary surveys and compensation databases to compare wages. The Board of Directors reviews this information and decides the CEO's salary based on market trends, the company's budget, and other factors. The CEO decides the pay for other senior managers.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Organization's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request. The Organization's audited financial statements are available on the Organization's website.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:This process has not changed from the prior year.
