With minor revisions, the financial statements were found to be present fairly in all material respects and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, for comparability with future periods, we are providing this amended Form 990 as corrected for all audit findings. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The process includes a presentation at a monthly Board Meeting, and individual reviews for those Board members who were absent from the Board Meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The Board reviews the Conflict-of-Interest policy annually and each member signs a written statement of understanding and compliance with the policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The process for determining compensation for the Executive Director includes a review by the Executive Committee, annual salary proposal by the Board President, and approval by the Board (Board approval is documented in the minutes of the Board Meeting.) Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Upon written request provided to the office of Mountain Parks Foundation of Santa Cruz. Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Fees for Service-Other: $ 65,507 This included $62,000 in estimate volunteer hours worked (this includes working on the accounting, in the shop and other functions as needed. The Remainder $3,507 was incurred for repair service and other needs of the Foundation. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Other Changes: The $68,229 will be researched with the FY 25 financial data and submission of the 2025 990. This amended filing of the FY 2024 Form 990, follows the completion of the annual audit of the Foundation's accounting records. This audit coincided with the conversion of the accounting system used to Online Quickbooks, and closer compliance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The FY 2024 financials became the basis for future financial comparison. As such, it seemed prudent to amend the FY2024 Form 990.
