Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 In 2021 we expanded our services in two major ways: 1) Supporting the non-profit work of a local indigenous group in northern New Jersey (the Turtle Clan of the Ramapough Lenape), including by assisting with the construction of a new greenhouse. And 2) Taking fiscal responsibility for the work of the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library, an agricultural and artistic project with activities in multiple countries, which primarily serves to preserve traditional Palestinian crop varieties, educate the global public about various issues in the field of crop biodiversity, and develop new farming projects in the Palestinian Territories.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Director Nathan Kleinman is preparing this Form 990 himself and will submit it to the Board of Directors for review following submission. It will be reviewed and discussed at the next meeting of the Board.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Our Bylaws explicitly state that "Directors shall not vote on topics on which they have a conflict of interest of any kind." The requirement to disclose conflicts of interest is implicit in this statement, but it is not explicitly stated. Directors rely on a self-policing honor system when it comes to disclosing conflicts of interest, which have thus far never been an issue within this organization. Board members are all somewhat familiar with each other and their work, so if any undisclosed conflicts of interest are present, it is likely another board member will raise the issue.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All governing documents not available on our website are available to the public upon request.
