“The tor project has a board-approved conflict of interest policy, and board and staff members acknowledge each year that they have not engaged in transactions that present conflicts of interest.”

“The executive director's salary is determined by utilizing compensation data for similarly qualified persons in comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The salary recommendation is reviewed and approved by the executive board, with no members who have a conflict of interest being involved in the process. Substantiation of the deliberation and decision are recorded at that time.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public by request. The organization's form 990 and audited financial statements are posted on the organization's website.”
