VENICE YACHT CLUB INC

EIN: 59-0655991 · VENICE, FL · Data spans: TY2020–TY2025

Most recent filing: Tax Year 2025.

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): 39

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.

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

Part VII requires individual disclosure of all officers, directors, trustees, key employees, and the five highest-compensated employees earning above the reporting threshold. The individuals listed here are from the most recent available filing.

NameTitleComp from Org
BRUCE FURMANGENERAL MANAGER$185,872
BRUCE FURMANGENERAL MANAGER$180,758
BRUCE FURMANGENERAL MANAGER$161,109
BRUCE FURMANGENERAL MANAGER$159,198
BRUCE FURMANPREVIOUS GENERAL MANAGER$153,662
BRUCE FURMANGENERAL MANAGER$145,910
EDWARD TINDALLGENERAL MANAGER/COO$1,400

Compensation shown is reportable compensation from this organization only, as disclosed in Part VII. The $150,000 individual disclosure threshold provides useful context: most volunteer-run sailing clubs report $0 for all officers. When professional staff — a General Manager, Executive Director, or Harbor Master — earns above that level, it reflects that the organization employs paid management rather than relying entirely on unpaid volunteers. Revenue scale, headcount, and operating complexity all shape what compensation levels are common for an organization of a given size. The filing shows what was paid and to whom; only people with inside knowledge of the organization can explain the context behind those numbers.

Independent Compensation Consultant

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

No independent compensation consultant reported for the most recent year with Schedule J data (2025). Executive pay was set through internal board processes — a compensation committee, comparison to prior years, or board vote — without outside benchmarking. This approach is common among nonprofit organizations. An independent consultant provides external market data and a documented rationale; its presence or absence is one piece of context among several when reading compensation disclosures.

Equity-Based Compensation

Schedule J, Part II — Per-person compensation detail

None reported

No equity-based compensation reported. This is typical for nonprofits, which have no shareholders and cannot issue ownership stakes. In the for-profit world, equity-based instruments align executive incentives with shareholder value; the nonprofit analog uses different mechanisms such as retention bonuses or deferred compensation. None of the organizations in the sailing and yacht club corpus report equity-based compensation.

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.

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.
