“Philadelphia home care, a related 501(c)(3) public charity, is the sole member.”

“The sole member elects the board of trustees.”

“Any changes to the provisions in the bylaws related to the member must be approved by the member.”

“The form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm. The organization's executive management, board of directors, and audit committee review the form 990 before it is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“The conflict of interest policy applies to any trustee or principal officer. A potential conflict must be disclosed to the trustees. After disclosure of the potential conflict and all material facts by the interested person, he/she shall leave the meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the remaining trustees. If a conflict is identified, the trustees shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible, the trustees shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested trustees whether or not to enter into the transaction or arrangement. Each person covered under this policy is required to sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually.”

“Compensation for the top management official and top financial offical is reviewed by the compensation committee, composed of certain members of the board of directors. The committee's recommendations are then reviewed and approved by the entire board; this deliberation and approval is documented in the minutes. The committee considers current salary, position, and their relation to contemporary positions in our industry grouping.”

“The organization's governing documents, financial statements, and conflict of interest policy are available upon request.”
