Those grants and expenses were used to support a children's home for approximately 61 children (the number varies throughout the year) and a Christian School for over 300 students. The school serves the children from the home and those from the surrounding impoverished neighborhood. There is an annual audit in Guatemala of the funds received from the Organization, and of the expenses paid with the received funds. The Organization's officers and directors review the audit to verify that the grants were used for the charitable purposes intended. In addition the officers and directors make frequent visits to the home and school to further verify the use of funds. Form 990, Part III, Line 2 The new Guatemala law requires Children's Homes to work with Governmental authorities for the purpose of finding traditional, non institutional homes for each child assigned to Guatemala Children's Mission Home. That imposes great new investigatory, and professional responsibilities on the Home. The Home was required by Guatemalan law to hire new professional people to comply with the law, and with the Court system that administers the law. In addition, the process causes the Home to incur many extra expenses to carry out the Home's required responsibilities relative to the investigations of alternative homes for the children. The Home is charged with the responsibility to investigate any alternative homes that may be available to take responsibility for a child, and to interview the persons involved, and to make informed recommendations to the Court about the home and family involved. All of that involves travel for the Organization's employees, as well as the preparation of time consuming reports. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The organization does have members. Mainly the members are the directors and the spouses of directors, and such other individuals as the Board of directors names. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a The Members do elect the Directors. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The proposed completed form 990 is e-mailed to all directors, and they are asked to review the form. They are then directed to make a specific reply to all other directors of any errors or omissions which they find. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c All directors are unpaid volunteers who pay their own travel and lodging expenses in connection with their activities for the organization. If ever it was intended to pay or reimburse an officer or Director for such activities the matter would have to be approved by the Board of Directors.
