| Explanation | The organization monitors the use of grant funds through ongoing communication with grantee leadership. Because the sole grantee (Center for the Working Poor) shares overlapping personnel with Movement Strategy Resource Project-including Paul Engler serving as Executive Director of both organizations and Tye Kirk serving as Treasurer of both organizations-the organization has direct visibility into the grantee's use of grant funds in support of civic engagement organizing and research and publications activities consistent with the stated purpose of the grant. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 | Paul Engler (Secretary and Executive Director) and Mark Engler (President and Independent Contractor providing co-director and research director services) are brothers. No other family or business relationships exist among officers, directors, or trustees. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 | The organization formally adopted bylaws on June 2, 2025, which were affirmed at the September 30, 2025 board meeting. The adopted bylaws establish officer positions of President (Mark Engler), Secretary (Paul Engler), and Treasurer (Tye Kirk). These titles differ from those reported on Form 1023-EZ filed March 3, 2025. The board also expanded from 3 initial directors per the Articles of Incorporation to 8 directors as of September 30, 2025, with Sally Taylor, Arthur Phillips, and Sergio Hurtado added June 2, 2025, and Dan Gelbtuch and Eric Stoner added September 30, 2025. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b | The organization does not currently have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body. All actions are taken by the full Board of Directors at duly noticed meetings, the minutes of which are contemporaneously documented. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | Prior to filing, the Treasurer prepares the Form 990 return and the Executive Director reviews the draft. A complete copy of the Form 990 is then distributed to all members of the governing body for review, with adequate time provided for questions and feedback, prior to the return being filed with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | The organization monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy through annual disclosure statements from each officer and director, and through ongoing recusal of interested persons from board votes affecting their direct financial interests. The September 30, 2025 board meeting documented recusals for compensation arrangements: Tye Kirk recused from the bookkeeping fee discussion; Mark and Paul Engler recused from Mark's services contract discussion due to family relationship; and Paul Engler, Mark Engler, and Sally Taylor recused from the CWP grant agreement discussion due to their relationships with Center for the Working Poor. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | Compensation arrangements for officers and contracted service providers are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors at duly noticed meetings, with the interested party recusing from discussion and vote. The September 30, 2025 board meeting approved the contracts for Tye Kirk (bookkeeping; Tye recused), Mark Engler (services contract; Mark and Paul recused due to family relationship), and the CWP grant agreement (Paul, Mark, and Sally Taylor recused). In each case, disinterested directors confirmed that services were necessary, provided at fair market rate, and represented a reasonable arrangement in the Institute's best interests. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18 | The organization makes its Form 1023-EZ application and Form 990 return available to the public upon request. Requests may be directed to the Treasurer at the principal office. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Requests may be directed to the Treasurer at the principal office. |
