Most recent filing: Tax Year 2024.

A more recent filing may not yet be published.

Sailing's public record, made legible. All numbers come directly from this organization's own sworn 990 filing. Patterns are computed from years of filings — not assessments or judgments.

Read trends in context: compare like with like, note the filing year, and treat major disruptions (like 2020–2021) as discontinuities rather than a continuous baseline.

Missing or N/A does not always mean absent. It can mean the item was not disclosed on that form, not collected on that filing type, or not available for that year.

Revenue Breakdown (Part VIII — most recent year)

Form 990, Part VIII — Statement of Revenue. Includes, but is not limited to: Line 1 = contributions and grants (including member dues reported as contributions). Lines 2a–2f = program service revenue (activities that directly further the organization's exempt purpose). Line 3 = investment income. The specific mix varies by organization type. Source: the organization's own sworn filing.

Officers & Key Staff (Part VII)

How to read this section

This is not a full staff directory. It is the subset of people the organization had to disclose in Form 990, Part VII (the officer, director, trustee, key employee, and highest-compensated employee section of the filing). Why this matters: a missing name does not mean a person was not employed or involved.

Total Volunteer Board Hours/Week (Selected Year): 40

Hours per week are self-reported by each officer on Form 990, Part VII. They are not verified.

Officers and directors as reported on Form 990, Part VII. These are typically unpaid, elected positions. If an officer receives compensation, it will appear in the Paid Staff tab.

Operationally, this section is most useful for understanding disclosed leadership structure, compensation visibility, and board labor — not for reconstructing the full staffing model of a club.

Programs (Part III — most recent year)

Form 990, Part III — Statement of Program Service Accomplishments. These are the activities that directly further the organization's exempt purpose. Expenses, grants, and revenue are as reported in the organization's own sworn filing.

THE FOUNDATION'S INTERCOLLEGIATE OFFSHORE REGATTA (IOR) IS AN INVITATIONAL REGATTA FOR COLLEGE SAILORS. IT IS HELD ANNUALLY BY THE STORM TRYSAIL FOUNDATION AND HOSTED AT LARCHMONT YACHT CLUB. IT BRINGS TOGETHER STORM TRYSAIL KEEL BOAT OWNERS AND COLLEGIATE SAILORS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO RACE TOGETHER IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE REGATTA. INITIALLY ESTABLISHED IN THE EARLY 1970S BY THE CORINTHIANS YC.

Governance & Transparency Signals

The IRS Form 990 is a sworn disclosure document — not just a tax return. Beyond financials, it captures governance policies, compensation practices, and relationships between insiders and the organization. Every category below comes directly from that filing. When a field is blank, it is often because this form type doesn’t require it, or the org doesn’t meet the threshold that triggers disclosure. That context is itself worth knowing.

Conflict of Interest Policy

Form 990, Part VI — Line 12a

Yes

This organization has a written conflict of interest policy requiring officers, directors, and key employees to disclose any personal financial interest in a pending decision — and to step back from that vote. Examples in the sailing world: a board member whose construction company is bidding on a dock renovation, or a director who refers their spouse’s firm for the annual audit. Having a policy doesn’t eliminate conflicts; it creates a documented process for surfacing and managing them. Only 41% of organizations in this corpus report having one.

Whistleblower Protection Policy

Form 990, Part VI — Line 13

⚠️ No

No whistleblower protection policy reported. Without a documented process, a staff member or volunteer who notices irregular transactions has no protected channel to report it — and no written assurance they won’t face consequences for raising the issue. The IRS added this question in 2008 following Sarbanes-Oxley. Absence does not imply wrongdoing; many small clubs haven’t formalized this in writing even when informal norms are healthy.

Officer & Key Employee Compensation (Part VII)

Form 990, Part VII — Named individuals with reportable compensation

No individual compensation reported for this organization in the most recent filing.

This is the norm for volunteer-run sailing clubs. Part VII still exists in the filing — it simply shows $0 compensation for all listed officers and directors, meaning this club is led entirely by unpaid volunteers. When you see compensation appear here in other organizations, it marks a meaningful transition: the club has grown to the point where professional management was hired. The largest clubs in this corpus — those above $3M in revenue — are the most likely to have paid executive staff.

Independent Compensation Consultant

Schedule J, Part I — Organizations filing when comp exceeds $150K

Schedule J not required for this organization.

Schedule J is only filed when at least one individual in Part VII received more than $150,000 in total compensation. This organization doesn’t meet that threshold, so this schedule is not required. Among the 35.7% of organizations in this corpus that do file Schedule J, 35.7% used an independent compensation consultant. When Schedule J IS required, this question asks whether the board hired an outside firm — unconnected to the organization — to benchmark executive pay against market rates. It reduces the risk that a board approves whatever the ED requests rather than what comparable organizations actually pay.

Equity-Based Compensation

Schedule J, Part II — Per-person compensation detail

Schedule J not required for this organization.

Related-Party Transactions (Schedule L)

Schedule L — Transactions with Interested Persons (officers, directors, their families, controlled entities)

Schedule L requires disclosure of loans, grants, and business transactions between the organization and its own insiders — board members, officers, key employees, and their family members or entities they control. Nonprofits are not prohibited from transacting with insiders, but they must disclose it, follow fair-market-value standards, and document that the transaction benefited the organization, not just the insider. These disclosures exist because self-dealing is the most direct way nonprofit assets can flow to those in control.

No related-party transactions found in our data for this organization. Schedule L is only required when transactions occur — absence means none were reported, not necessarily that none occurred.

IRS Source Filings

Source filings are IRS e-file records in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format — a structured data standard used by the IRS for electronic filing. If you open one of these links, it will look like code. That's not an error — that's what XML looks like. Harbor Commons processes this raw XML and presents the structured, readable view you see above.

Why this matters: the XML is the receipt. Harbor Commons is the reading layer on top of that receipt. If you ever need to verify a number, wording choice, or disclosure, the source filing is where to check.
