Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds Monitoring of fee reductions: Because the demand for financial assistance is great, the YMCA must follow eligibility guidelines. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, subject to available resources. Applicants are asked to pay some portion of the fees. If acceptable, a volunteer work program will be arranged. Applicants must complete a financial assistance information form and are required to provide proof of income. Subsidies will be granted to the extent that funds are available. Financial assistance is reviewed for eligibility annually for YMCA programs. The YMCA monitors the use of subsidies by tracking the applicant's attendance in the program and their participation in bearing a portion of the cost. Additionally, the senior compliance auditor conducts periodic audits to ensure compliance with YMCA policy in the distribution and monitoring of scholarships. Monitoring for sub-recipients: Sub-recipients of federal grant funding are monitored through an annual review of their financial processes, policies, and procedures and are monitored on a quarterly basis for spending in accordance with federal and program guidelines.

S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memo directing federal agencies to temporarily pause funding of all federal assistance programs to allow time to evaluate agencies and programs for consistency with the law and with Presidential priorities. The memo was later rescinded but there continued to be delays in funding and increased scrutiny of programs. These actions were the subject of various ongoing legal proceedings which impacted collectability of existing contracts and future funding availability. As a result of this uncertainty around programming, availability and collectability of funding, as well as various Executive Orders and stop-work orders, several YMCA federal assistance programs were discontinued in February and March 2025. YMCA contracts totaling approximately $45 million were discontinued. While this represented a significant share of revenue, the YMCA swiftly executed corresponding cost adjustments involving both staff and program operational costs to minimize the impact on future changes in net assets and cash flow from operations. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The CFO, together with Blazek & Vetterling, presents the Form 990 to the Finance Committee for their detailed review. Upon completion of the review process, the Finance Committee accepts the Form 990 as presented. The Finance Committee Chair briefs the YMCA Board of Directors of their review. Prior to filing, the Form 990 is posted on the organization's website accessible through a secure portal for board members' review. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The YMCA of Greater Houston has adopted a comprehensive Conflict of Interest policy. The Policy requires each Director, Officer, Trustee, Volunteer and Employee of the Association to make full disclosure of any interest that might result in a conflict on their part. The Policy clearly defines potential conflicts of interest and requires disclosure of potential conflicting interests in certain business transactions. The Policy further requires Directors, Officers, Trustees, selected Volunteers, and selected Employees to review the policy annually and disclose any potential conflicts of which the Board should be made aware. The President annually makes a report to the Executive Committee based on the disclosure forms submitted. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official The compensation and performance of the President, EVP & COO, SVP & CFO, SVP Financial Development and SVP Marketing & Communication is reviewed annually by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. An independent, nationally recognized compensation firm provides not-for-profit compensation comparability data for all senior level positions to the Executive Compensation Committee as required for compliance with the regulations of Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Executive Compensation Committee has reviewed and deemed reasonable the compensation of all senior staff in compliance with IRS regulations.

For more than 45 years, the YMCA has partnered with the federal government to support newcomers. In 2025, changes in federal funding allocations and national resettlement priorities required the YMCA to reflect on what services would make the largest impact for our community.

While the structure for International Services has evolved, the YMCA's commitment to serving the community remained unchanged.
