“The executive committee consists of a minimum of five and a maximum of seven directors of the board including the chairperson and vice-chairperson of the board and such other board members as selected by the board. The committee has the power to act for the board between board meetings. All decisions of the executive committee are reported to the board at its next meeting.”

“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm with information provided by management. The Form is then reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, Vice President of Finance and the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors before being approved by the full board and being filed.”

“Each director, principal officer, or member of a committee with powers delegated by the board of directors who has a direct or indirect financial interest are considered an interested person and must disclose any actual or possible conflict of interest. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the interested person shall leave the board of directors meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the remaining members. The remaining members of the board of directors determine if a conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest exists, the interested person may make a presentation to the board of directors, but after the presentation must leave the meeting. The remaining members will discuss and vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the conflict of interest. This policy is enforced at each board meeting with proceedings documented in the meeting minutes.”

“iDE's Board of Directors sets the salary of iDE's Chief Executive and also sets performance objectives for each fiscal year. Performance against these metrics determines, in part, annual salary increase and bonus for the CEO. iDE's Governance Committee of the Board of Directors reviewed executive compensation from the Humentum (Inside NGO) salary survey to benchmark iDE's Executive Compensation against other organizations as well as against iDE's HR policy framework in 2019. Compensation for other high-level personnel and key employees is reviewed at least annually by members of management. A combination of performance, market rates from the Inside NGO survey, professional experience, and salary history were used by management to set these salaries. Management endeavors to ensure the competitiveness and appropriateness of salaries and benefits in line with IDE's HR policy framework. Every effort is made to ensure the process is thorough and transparent in accordance with IRS guidelines and iDE's policies and procedures. All decisions are documented in personnel files. This process was last completed in 2019.”

“iDE is a global development organization that spans offices in 12 countries, encompassing 4 social enterprises, employing 1,234 people directly, and indirectly enabling many more through our market-based approaches in agriculture; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); and finance. iDE believes in the power of business to fight poverty and works to create income opportunities for poor, rural households. iDE co-creates with foundations, governments, individuals, for-profits, and nonprofits to develop lasting solutions to poverty. We design and deliver market-based solutions in agriculture and WASH in 11 countries across Asia, Africa, and Central America. Much more than a collection of technologies and field offices, we are a globally integrated staff, passionate about innovation and entrepreneurs. Our bottom line is measurably improving the lives of our clients: rural farmers, families, and small businesses that are among the world's poorest. For every one dollar spent by iDE, we commit to an average $10 of income or livelihood savings for our clients. In 2019, we achieved a global average of $18 to every one dollar invested by iDE. This impact is rooted in reality and the data is readily available to anyone. This is our method of ensuring that the investments by our donors, the rural entrepreneurs that we are working with, the customers they are serving, and our staff are having a measurable and direct impact. iDE's efforts to date have helped more than 35 million people escape poverty and we are committed to doubling this impact as quickly as possible.”
