| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 0 | The VP of Finance reviews the federal Form 990 with the Chief of Staff and President in its draft form and any required revisions are submitted to the external tax team. The final federal Form 990 is distributed to the Board of Directors before filing the federal Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 1 | The Board of Directors annually reviews the conflict of interest policy and discloses any potential conflict of interest. All EWG Staff and Board of Directors sign a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement annually. The signed documents are reviewed by the Chief of Staff & General Counsel and kept by the VP Finance & Chief Operating Officer. The COI Policy is always taken into consideration when there is the potential for conflict, particularly when signing new contracts or beginning new relationships. Any possible appearance of conflict of interest that arises in the course of business is researched to determine the existence of a conflict. If a contract is to be made with a related party, it is disclosed to the Board of Directors and a vote is taken. If EWG staff members identify a conflict of interest, the Chief of Staff & General Counsel or VP Finance & Chief Operating Officer share this information with the Executive Committee of the Board for its action. Board members are precluded from voting on matters for which a conflict exists. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 2 | The Action Fund does not have any employees of its own. It reimburses EWG for its employees' time spent on Action Fund work, and salaries are determined under EWG's process: The Board of Directors designates a compensation committee of Board members to review the President. All staff are reviewed by the President and not the Board of Directors. Compensation comparison data is used to determine appropriate compensation levels. External salary surveys are purchased to compare like organizations by area of focus, geographic area, and function. Comparable environmental non-profits federal Form 990's are also reviewed for salary information. In addition, an external specific compensation report is ordered each year regarding the fund's President. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 3 | Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are not available to the public. Annual Internal Revenue Service federal Form 990 and the Form 1023 are provided upon request. |
