Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4The trustees have voted to change the definition of Supported Organization to include any governmental unit (including Indian tribal governments) or their integral parts to the extent contributions would be deductible under Section 170 of the Code--(i.e., used exclusively for public purposes). In addition, the minimum number of trustees was reduced from five to three.

The trustees disclose potential conflicts of interest annually. The disclosures are identified on a conflict of interest disclosure form. At the time the form is completed, the trustees discuss the disclosures to ensure no conflicts of interest exist.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
Employee performance and salary reviews are conducted annually on the anniversary of employment and consist of: a performance review, a determination of whether the employee's salary is consistent within the industry, and a determination as to whether the yearly increases reflect merit, inflation, and/or changes of responsibilities. The employee will provide a narrative of accomplishments over the past year and a description of goals for the upcoming year.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

Trustee FeesSix of seven trustees of the Davis Educational Foundation receive trustee fees in the amount of $20,000 annually, prorated for the amount of time each trustee has been on the board. Peter Davis is a family member and does not receive any compensation from the Foundation in any form. The Davis Educational Foundation supports payment of $20,000 per trustee per year because of the significant work necessary when evaluating applicants. The trustees conduct site visits for colleges/universities seeking funding, and therefore, they travel throughout New England. Site visits are conducted by trustees in order to properly evaluate the grantee applications. The Organization contends that these payments do not impair the independence of its trustees.Form 990, Page 7, Part VII
Per the declaration of trust, a majority of the trustees shall be appointed by the representative supported organization. The trustees determine the recipients of the Davis Educational Foundation grants each year.Schedule A, Part I, Line 11
