World Monuments Fund Inc.

“The world monuments fund, inc. (wmf) provides a copy of form 990 to the finance and audit committee to review and approval before filing. The 990 is available to the public through the organizations website wmf.org.”

“The wmf conflict of interest and business relationship disclosure statements are given to new trustees to complete when they join the board and annually thereafter. The information on the statements is summarized and provided to the chair. If during the year there are discussions or actions involving any financially or programmatically substantive issue regarding these organizations, vendors or investment firms (ordinarily funding, personnel, whether to continue the relationship, and whether to take legal, disciplinary or other action), individuals with relationships and potential conflicts will recuse themselves whenever the organizations, vendors or investment firms are up for discussion or action. Staff refer to the list so individuals can be excluded when a conflict arises such as wmf funding awards to other organizations where wmf trustees or family members serve on their boards. Individuals with conflicts involving wmf affiliates are not excluded from the discussions about the affiliates but would be excluded from the vote (and the final part of the discussion leading up to the vote) if the vote involves any financially or programmatically substantive issue.”

“The world monuments fund, inc. Finance and audit committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation for the key employees and highly compensated employees (above ($150,000).
