Starting in 2022, AFP expanded its programmatic offerings to include community building, advocacy, ecumenical chaplain services, and meeting tangible needs for people in poverty. Our Executive Director is an ordained Mennonite pastor and believes whole-person solutions are needed in order to bring healing to the whole-person traumas of homelessness. See our website to learn more about the holistic approach of our Public Charity. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11A Each board member was provided a complete copy of this form 990 prior to filing the form. They were each emailed a PDF document and had the opportunity to review, ask questions to our CPA or Executive Director, and give their approval or edits prior to submission. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C Attached to our bylaws is our conflict of interest policy. Each year this is reviewed by our governing body and staff and each person signs a copy to indicate they have received it, understand it, will comply with it, and write out any known conflicts. For example, one of our current board members is married to a key employee. During any discussions about compensation for that employee, that board member removes themselves from the room until the discussion and any decisions about compensation is finalized. We are strict and diligent about this policy. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B Our process for determining compensation of our Executive Director and Key Employee included a review and approval by independent persons, comparability data from nonprofit quarterly and other relevant online resources like Good Works Advisors, consultation with other local nonprofit leaders, and informed, thorough, unbiased deliberation and decision. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Our governing documents, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request. Soon, we plan to make this information more readily accessible on websites like Candid and Charity Navigator.
