Our volunteer-led programs change attitudes, transform lives, and inspire a world of belonging. For 7 days and 6 nights, PALS participants engage in unique on-campus activities, explore the local sights, and experience life on a college campus - all the while building transformative, lifelong friendships, and learning the true meaning of inclusion. PALS also offers a modified 5-day and 4-night program for participants during the off-season and for adults 21+ during the summer. These programs offer increased opportunities for independence, choice, and age-specific activities. 10 8 14 668 0 0 729661 927776 959129 1021129 49684 62067 20402 67 1758876 2011039 0 0 0 0 524058 672326 0 0 123377 1045295 1142050 1569353 1814376 189523 196663 1796114 2070976 37725 115267 1758389 1955709 PALS creates inclusive camp experiences for people with and without Down syndrome.

Since no cash is exchanged from the Organization to the scholarship recipients, no additional monitoring is required. Part III, Tuition Discounts: The Organization provides need-based tuition discounts to students to participate in the activities of the Organization, which are reported as non-cash assistance on Schedule I. However, tuition discounts do not constitute an amount received by an organization. Thus, pursuant to the Form 990 instructions, tuition discounts and assistance should not be included in an organization's gross receipts (and therefore have not been included in total revenue in Part VIII). For consistency in reporting, the tuition discounts and assistance are also not reported as an expense in Form 990, Part IX.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers and its key employees on an annual basis. Each such individual provides an annual disclosure statement indicating that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy, or (3) they have previously undisclosed conflicts of interest and disclosing the details of such conflicts.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The Organization has adopted an executive compensation-setting policy applicable to all of the Organization's key executives, including the Organization's CEO, officers and key employees. Under the policy, an independent committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the compensation levels of all individuals subject to the policy. The deliberations and decisions of the committee are contemporaneously substantiated. The committee utilizes comparability data and the advice of legal counsel in its deliberations; updated comparability data is generally obtained every two to three years. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization provides, upon request, copies of its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, and its conflict of interest policy. The Organization's Form 990 is made available on the Organization's website as well as through Guidestar.

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The Organization's Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of an independent accountant.
