“A draft of the form 990 was reviewed by management. Afterwards, the draft was delivered to members of the audit committee of the board who were provided an opportunity to comment and to discuss the contents of the draft with management and ecoamerica's tax preparer in a telephonic meeting. Following their review, the audit committee voted to approve the draft for filing. Subsequently, the full board of directors were provided the approved draft prior to its electronic filing with the internal revenue service.”

“Each employee and member of the board of directors receives a copy of the conflict of interest policy, and signs acknowledgment of receipt and agreement to comply. The policy requires that employees and board members disclose actions or relationships where an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest may exist. These disclosures are reviewed by members of the executive management team and the executive committee of the board of directors, if necessary. Members of the executive management team also review proposed financial transactions and other contractual arrangements for possible conflicts of interest with employees or board members. If an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest is identified, the interested party, executive management, and the executive committee of the board of directors, if necessary, work cooperatively to achieve a resolution that is in the best interest of the organization. The conflict of interest policy is reviewed periodically by management and the board of directors.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request.”

“Ecoamerica's program activities consist of the following five main components. 1. Ecoamerica engages trusted national leaders outside of typical environmental spheres--primarily from the faith, health, and local communities sectors but also in higher education. These leaders convene quarterly, share ideas and learning, and strategize on climate change action. 2. The organization recruits and supports major national institutions in its target sectors and helps them make climate change a visible national priority for their organizations, engaging their millions of members to move society toward climate solutions. 3. It provides these institutions and leaders with comprehensive, tailored guidance, resources and other support to help them lead on climate solutions and inspire their constitutes to do the same. 4. Ecoamerica organizes summits, forums, webinars, workshops and other event designed to inspire action, share best practices and build independent and collective action for climate solutions. 5. Finally, ecoamerica conducts and shares values, communications and messaging research and polling to help its partners and the climate movement understand which americans are ready to move on climate and how best to reach them and inspire action.”
