“990 draft will be sent to the board to approve.”

“We monitor and manage conflicts of interest amongst our board and project contributors. For the board, we ensure that each project and project outcome will not benefit any board member. If a board member identifies a possible conflict of interest, the board member will make note of (and if necessary describe) the possible conflict. Once a possible or actual conflict of interest is identified within the board, the board member is not allowed to vote on or provide influence over that issue. Those conflicts are recorded in the minutes. For projects, we do our best to ensure that no conflicts of interest-actual or possible-arise from those that participate in special project and fund special projects. If a known conflict exists, the person or entity does not participate. If, however, a conflict arises, that person must acknowledge the conflict of possible conflict and would be asked to either stop participating or would be asked to not participate in decision making.”
