During the grant period, Freshwater Future staff are in contact with grant recipients, providing information, assistance and guidance. At the end of the grant period for each grant, a reporting form is completed by the grant recipient and submitted to Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund, Inc. for approval. If funds were spent as outlined in the contract the file is closed and the grant recipient is sent a letter stating that their grant has successfully been closed. If not all of the funds have been expended, or if funds were expended in ways that were not in the grant contract, the grant recipient is contacted for more information. If funds remain unexpended, the grant recipient is given a time period for spending the remaining funds for activities outlined in the original grant contract and then asked to submit another report at the end of that time period. If funds were expended for purposes outside of the grant contract, the grant recipient will be asked to either amend their agreement with Freshwater Future to a resolution acceptable to both organizations or if the funds were spent for a prohibited activity, the grant recipient will be asked to refund that portion of the grant award. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b An independent CPA prepares the Form 990 and meets with the Executive Director to review a draft copy of the form. The Executive Director forwards the Form 990 and audited financial statements to the Finance Committee. Upon the completion of their review, a recommendation for approval is submitted to the full Board of Directors for final review and approval (which can be done by e-mail). All changes addressed by the Finance Committee and/or the Board of Directors, if any, are made to the return. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c On an annual basis, a questionnaire is given to Board Members asking them to disclose any conflict of interests. The questionnaires are dated and filed. Board Members excuse themselves from voting on any board items where a conflict of interest has been disclosed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a The Executive Director's salary is determined annually by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after considering factors such as job performance, job adherence, budget constraints, and comparative salary survey information. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents are made available to the public upon request. This fact is disclosed on an annual basis in our newsletter.
