contract accepting the conditions and responsibilities of the grant, and the second upon the projects completion and the submission of a final report. To receive the final payment, grantees must submit receipts detailing all expenditures of the grant funds. Grantees must also send digital copies or photographs from films preserved with NFPF grant funds. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The NFPF Executive and Audit Committees are kept apprised of the yearly audit as well as the federal 990 and state filings throughout the document preparation process. The completed draft of the 990 and state filings are distributed to the Board of Directors for review and comment one week prior to their submission. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Each year all Board members review the NFPF's conflict of interest policy and sign a statement disclosing any dealings that might harbor or appear to harbor a potential conflict of interest with another nonprofit or business entity with which they are affiliated. Should a conflict appear to exist, any contract or agreement relating to that business arrangement must be signed by a Director not affiliated with any of the related parties. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b As per the NFPF's founding federal legislation, Directors receive no compensation but may be reimbursed for "necessary travel" (such as travel to attend annual meetings). The legislation also sets the compensation ceiling for NFPF employees at the level of a GS-15 in the federal service. (In practice, all NFPF salaries are lower.) The NFPF's overall employee salary and benefit package is approved by the Board of Directors as part of the NFPF's annual budgeting process. Any change in the compensation level of individual employees requires the written approval of two members of the NFPF Executive Committee. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The NFPF's audited financial statements, 990s, and annual reports to U.S. Congress may be downloaded from the NFPF website, www.filmpreservation.org. The website carries a notice alerting users that copies of the NFPF conflict of interest, nondiscrimination, and whistleblower policies are available on request. The articles of incorporation and bylaws are also available on request. In addition, the NFPF contributes 990s to GuideStar and other reputable charity websites.
