FIT's key officers include Stephen Baines (CEO / Founder), Endymion Bragg (Co-Founder), Jabari Overstreet (Community Director), and Michael Marshall (Finance Director). During the 2024 tax year, none of these board members or officers received compensation. All available administrative funds and surplus revenue were redirected into program operations and community services. If compensation is considered in future years, the Board will have independent non-conflicted members review and approve compensation using comparability data from similar Arizona nonprofits and will document deliberations and approvals in meeting minutes. This process was last reviewed in 2024 and remains in place for future governance decisions. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request at its principal office.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e The organization incurred $1,000 in minor administrative expenses consisting of bank fees, printing, postage, and other general operating costs. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 The organization began the year with $854 in net assets and ended with $9,144, an increase of $8,290 reflecting the annual surplus of revenues over expenses. The organization experienced a significant increase in revenue during the tax year, resulting in a transition from filing Form 990-N to filing the full Form 990. Additional time was required to compile detailed financial statements, reconcile multiple government grants and community program accounts, and ensure accurate reporting under the expanded filing requirements. The organization acted in good faith and exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to meet the deadline. The delay was due solely to the increased administrative requirements associated with the organization's growth and transition to the full Form 990.
