We stopped accepting large and palletized donations of clothing and shoes, and we began scaling the program down to its current (2024) scope of doing volunteer drives for specific items that focus on youth and the unhoused. We no longer hold large quantities of inventory. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Eve Birge and Colin Mackie are brother and sister. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization distributes copies of the returns to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an authorization is signed and provided to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed (paper or electronically) with the designated governmental agencies. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped and mailed with certified return receipt or the signed form 8879 is provided to the outside accounting firm allowing electronic filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The Board and staff are aware of and regularly revisit the policy. We educate, raise awareness, and encourage disclosure and discussion of anything that MAY be a conflict. We try to cultivate a culture of candor. Minutes of board meetings reflect when a board member discloses that s/he has a conflict of interest and how the conflict is to be managed.
