Pt VI, Line 12c New Trustees will be introduced to the Conflict of Interest Policy upon acceptance. Annually the Treasurer will obtain written Conflict of Interest statement from Contractors and continuing Trustees outlining any potential conflicts. Pt VI, Line 15a Trustees dileberated and notes were taken. Trustees compared data from other similar size Non Profits and efforts put forth by the CEO and results achieved. Pt VI, Line 15b The second compensated officer is the Treasurer . His compensation was decided by the CEO who used current market conditions in Columbus, Ohio along with skill set and other available candidates Other Classic for Columbus CEO, John Pace has a $95,000 annual compensation agreement but has deferred the majority of the compensation until the Organization is financially strong. This 990 statement is prepared utilizing accrual accounting which treats Johns deferred compensation as an expenditure although John did not receive the cash. As a result the 990 form may show a negative net revenue position although the organization may have cash on hand. Other Amended Return - An Accounting error was made in that a Other Supporter of CFC loaned the Organization $110,900 in total over various times. In March of 2025 the Supporter agreed to convert the Loan into a contribution. This was not conveyed to the Tax Preparer until after the Original Filing. The Support totaled $110,900. This increased both Revenue and Fund Balance and Decreased Loans Payable on the Balance Sheet Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e Awards and Recognition 1553. 833. 720. 0.
