No longer just a report to the IRS, the 990-PF is now the most commonly used data source about private foundations. Reporters, researchers, grantseekers - and many others - look to these forms for information about an organization. This makes accurate numbers, correct entries, and properly worded descriptions more important than ever. This session will focus on critical issues that foundation staff and board members must understand when reviewing and signing their 990-PF.
