NIU DONORS MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS AND SCHOLASTIC AWARDS AT A TIME WHEN OUR STUDENTS NEED OUR HELP MORE THAN EVER. RISING TUITION, DWINDLING STATE SUPPORT, LIMITED JOB OPPORTUNITIES, AND SCARCITY OF LOANS MAKE IT ONE OF THE HARDEST TIMES IN HISTORY TO GET THROUGH SCHOOL. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS NOT ONLY SUPPORT NIU'S TRADITION OF PROVIDING ACCESSIBLE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, THEY ALSO HELP THE UNIVERSITY MAINTAIN ITS COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE BY ATTRACTING MORE HIGHLY QUALIFIED STUDENTS.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
FORM 990, PART IV, LINE 34Northern Illinois University (NIU) and Northern Illinois University Alumni Association (NIUAA) are not classified as related organizations according to the Form 990 Glossary and Instructions. NIU Foundation (Foundation) recognizes there is a significant relationship between the Foundation and NIU and NIUAA. In transparency, the Foundation reports the following: Stacey Barsema, NIU Foundation Board member, is spouse of Dennis Barsema, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of NIU. Wheeler Coleman, NIU Foundation Board member is the immediate past Chairman of the Board of Trustees of NIU. Cherilyn Murer, NIU Foundation Board member is a former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of NIU.
FORM 990, PART V, LINE 2aThe foundation did not compensate the individuals listed in Part VII. NIU, an organization that does not meet the related organization requirements of the Form 990 instructions, pays the individuals and issues their W-2s.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2Cynthia Crocker and Jeffrey Liesendahl personally use the services of Savant Capital, for which Board Member Brent Brodeski serves as the CEO.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4Bylaws were amended during the fiscal year. The significant change was: The Advisory Board advising the Board of Directors regarding The Foundation's and the Northern Illinois University's interests, including without limitation with respect to engaging Northern Illinois University alumni and building long-term relationships between Northern Illinois University and its alumni and friends, creating alumni-to-alumni connections, promoting the value of a Northern Illinois University degree by communicating the message of the excellence of the Northern Illinois University, promoting alumni career success, and providing experiences that advocate for, promote and strengthen the Northern Illinois University community. For the avoidance of doubt, except as specifically authorized by the Board of Directors in writing, neither the Advisory Board nor its individual members shall be authorized to bind The Foundation in any way.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11BTHE BOARD HAS ADOPTED THE PRACTICE THAT THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, THE PRESIDENT/CEO, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND CONTROLLER REVIEW THE FORM 990. THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE THEN PROVIDED A COPY OF THE FORM 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED. IT IS REVIEWED AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12CALL DIRECTORS, BOARD MEMBERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES ARE GIVEN A COPY THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THEY ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AND SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE REPORT. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST REPORTS ANNUALLY. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARE SHARED WITH THE BOARD CHAIR AND ALL COMMITTEE CHAIR MEMBERS RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM DISCUSSIONS AND VOTES ON RELATED MATTERS. At the beginning of each Board meeting the Board Chair calls for any conflicts on agenda items to be disclosed. Potential conflicts are shared and that Board member recuses themselves from discussions and votes on related matters.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15AThe NIU foundation's board of directors are not compensated. NIU foundation assigned employees are not paid directly by the NIU foundation. The NIU foundation assigned employees are paid by northern Illinois university and the NIU foundation pays the university. NIU maintains a regular compensation process for the president which includes the use of comparable data. A subset of the Executive Committee utilizes NIU compensation parameters as a guide to complete a joint performance evaluation of the CEO annually. The Committee reviews compensation policies and practices, and benchmarks CEO compensation packages, as needed.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19THE FOUNDATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
