The admission process for the Blackstone Legal Fellowship is quite rigorous. ADF staff hosts Blackstone informational events for law students at well over 100 law schools each year. Each prospective applicant must complete an application form, respond to five essay questions, and submit three letters of recommendation. ADF staff also engages in substantive conversations with each applicant and solicits input from Blackstone Fellows and faculty members who know each applicant. For those who are ultimately selected for the program, ADF covers many of the costs and awards each participant a scholarship to defray qualified educational expenses. Upon completing the summer program, Blackstone Fellows join an extensive network of lawyers who support one another professionally.

Typically, such travel is at no additional expense due to airline frequent flyer programs which allow upgraded travel at no cost due to airline travel status. All employer-paid travel is for the convenience and business purpose of the organization, and is not treated as taxable income to the employee. The organization is also sensitive to maintaining the health, longevity, and well-being of employees who are required to travel frequently to fulfill the responsibilities and duties of their positions. Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions Travel for companions is provided when the companion's attendance at meetings, conferences, and events has a bona fide business purpose to the organization. This is not treated as taxable compensation. These expenses are not limited to officers, key employees, and highly compensated individuals, but are available to all employees in the situations described.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services (Expenses $ 2,469,810 including grants of $ 1,306,109)(Revenue $ 0) GRANTS AND FUNDING: ADF PROVIDES GRANTS FOR LEGAL CASES AND PROJECTS THAT ADVANCE THE GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO LIVE AND SPEAK THE TRUTH.

The Finance and Audit Committee of the ADF Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the compensation for "disqualified persons" (generally defined as any person in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of a nonprofit organization anytime during the five-year period preceding the date of the compensation transaction - this would include top management officials and key employees of both ADF and the ADF Foundation). Every year management prepares the IRS procedure known as the Rebuttable Presumption of Reasonableness. This procedure shifts the burden of proof regarding unreasonable compensation to the IRS for purposes of intermediate sanctions excise-tax penalties when: (1) the board or authorized committee, free of any conflict with the executive in question, determines the compensation arrangement prior to effectuating the arrangement, (2) the board or committee uses appropriate compensation comparability data in arriving at its decision and (3) the board or committee properly documents its decision in a timely manner. Yes. The review by the Board's Finance and Audit Committee occurs annually before the May Board of Directors meeting, and the Board votes at the May meeting to accept and approve the recommendation of the Committee. This action is recorded in the minutes for the May meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Line 8b Documentation of meetings held by committees of governing body The organization does not have any committees that have authority to act on behalf of the governing body. Therefore, this line is answered no in accordance with the instructions. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm. Upon completion, the organization's Finance Team reviews the Form 990 through the following process: 1) The VP of Finance and accounting team members compare the Form 990 to the annual corporate audit and internal financial reports. 2) The VP of Finance assigns accounting team members to review content, check math totals, and check spelling. 3) A final review of content is completed by the Assistant General Counsel and the Executive Vice President. 4) Following the above, the Form 990 is distributed to: A. President and CEO B. Chairman of the Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) which is responsible for oversight of finance, audit, and tax matters. C. The Chair of the FAC ensures committee members review the Form 990 for material edits and compliance. D. Upon acceptance and approval, the Chairman of the FAC then instructs the VP of Finance to post it on the Board website so the full Board can view the 990. Based on the FAC's recommendation, the Board approves and accepts the 990 at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. 4) Changes and corrections from the above are addressed at each step. 5) Following the above, the Executive Vice President signs and instructs the Form 990 to be filed with the IRS. 6) Upon filing with the IRS, ADF's Form 990 is available for public inspection and distribution to the state governing bodies, foundations, and other requesting entities. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The conflict of interest policy covers any Director, Principal Officer, Key Employee, or member of a committee with governing board delegating powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest. The organization also conducts periodic reviews to ensure operations are consistent with its charitable purposes. Directors shall report possible conflicts of interest to the Chairman of the Board of Directors prior to any action on the transaction by the organization. Upon report of a possible conflict, the Board of Directors shall conduct an investigation and determine whether a conflict of interest does exist and whether it is substantial. If the Board determines that a substantial conflict of interest exists, the interested individual shall not vote on the transaction presenting the conflict. The interested individual may vote only if the Board determines that no conflict exists or the conflict is not substantial. No investigation or determination by the Board shall be required if the interested individual voluntarily agrees to refrain from voting on the transaction presenting the potential conflict of interest. The interested individual may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. The remaining Board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The minutes of the governing Board and all committees with Board delegated powers shall contain: A. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the governing Board's or Committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed. B. The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceeding. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official Alliance Defending Freedom maintains a compensation system. CEO compensation is set by the organization's independent Board, and the CEO's compensation is in accordance with the ADF compensation system. Job descriptions are evaluated against independent market sources and compensation data as provided by independent third party resource providers. The compensation committee approves position grades and pay ranges of all other positions. Annually, ADF also prepares compensation data for the Board's Finance and Audit Committee in accordance with the IRS recommended "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" process to substantiate the compensation of ADF key employees. The FAC reviews and approves key employee compensation once a year. The Compensation Committee (comprised of the VP of Finance, Director of Compensation & Benefits, and HR Manager) reviews benchmark data provided by CompAnalyst, ERI, and other compensation resources to determine the appropriate compensation for all positions in accordance with the ADF compensation philosophy. Discussions, decisions, and approvals are recorded in writing, typically by e-mail. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees THE PROCESS FOR ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION FOR OFFICERS IS THE SAME AS IT IS FOR LINE 15A.
