He only provides guidance and our ED does not have voting privileges for any major financial decisions. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b We provide a copy of our completed Form 990 at a special meeting that is held specifically to review all submissions with our secretary, treasurer and Board members to ensure the accuracy of the form. It is during this meeting that we discuss any errors that might be uncovered so that our data is confirmed and reported correctly. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c We ensure full compliance of our conflict of interest policy by requiring all staff and volunteers to submit a form each quarter and/or whenever they believe any part of our policy is being breached or violated. It is a requirement for everyone to review and confirm that they fully understand the terms and conditions of our conflict of interest policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 We implement a process for establishing compensation and job descriptions that involve: (1) review and approval in advance by an authorized body of our organization comprised of individuals who have no conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement; (2) determination using appropriate comparability data from similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions; and (3) documentation contemporaneously in the minutes of the approving body. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18 In compliance with Section 6104, the organization makes its Form 1023 available for public inspection. We post a direct link to our Form 1023 on the homepage of our website at edwpf.org, where it is easily accessible to the public at any time. Our goal is to ensure full transparency regarding our tax-exempt status, governance, and charitable mission. By making this information available online, we provide the public with clear and open access to our founding documents and demonstrate our commitment to accountability and openness in all areas of our operations. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 During the tax year, our governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements were made available for public inspection by making them accessible upon request via our website or by calling our toll-free number to ensure ease of access for the public. Individuals could obtain copies by contacting our organization directly, and our financial statements were provided as part of our annual Form 990 disclosure. We are committed to full transparency and accountability, and we ensure that our core governance and financial materials remain accessible to the public so that our stakeholders may understand our mission, stewardship practices, and organizational integrity. Our organization respectfully requested an extension by filing Form 8868 on May 10, 2025. Our request was due to reasonable cause. During the filing period, we faced a combination of unforeseen circumstances, including a bookkeeping transition, staff turnover issues, and medical emergencies, which collectively delayed the timely completion and submission of the Form 990. These challenges disrupted our normal administrative processes and hindered our ability to assemble financial records within the required timeframe. Upon recognizing the filing delay, our organization acted diligently to resolve the outstanding issues and complete the return as quickly as possible. At all times, we have made good-faith efforts to comply with IRS requirements, and our request for the 6-month extension was not the result of any willful neglect. To prevent future delays, we have strengthened our internal controls and improved our procedures for financial record keeping and reporting to ensure all filings are submitted on time going forward. Thank you.
