“On an annual basis each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with board delegated powers must complete a statement that (1) they have received a copy of the Conflict of Interest Policy, (2) they have read and understood the policy, (3) they have agreed to comply with the policy, and (4) understands the organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.”

“The organization purchases compensation surveys and establishes the executive compensation around the fiftieth percentile (with some flexibility) of prevailing market rates for similar positions, market trends, and the financial resources of the organization. The organization is committed to balancing fiscal stewardship with a desire to competitively compensate its personnel. Executive compensation is reviewed within the compensation committee of the Board of Directors.”

“The organization does not generally make its governing documents or Conflict of Interest Policy available to the public; however, such documents would be subject to public inspection if so requested. A summary of the annual audited financial statements is made available each year within the annual publication of the Holland Home and Christian Living Services annual report. This publication is made available to residents and key stakeholders.”

“Pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended: The organization shall operate for the benefit of, perform the functions of, and carry out the purposes of Holland Home, the Holland Home Foundation, Reliance Community Care Partners and such other organizations (together, called the "Supported Organizations") which are, from time to time, controlled by the organization and described in Section 501(c)(3) and either Section 509(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or corresponding provisions of any future tax code (the "Code"). Through its supported organizations, the organization shall provide services to the retirement community, and the community at large, based upon Christian values that honor the individual's right to retain one's own self-worth and independence in retirement or illness. It is dedicated to providing a gracious environment for individuals in their retirement years, as well as meeting the needs of other members of society, such as those requiring hospice care. The organization shall be guided by the Christian principles of benevolence and service to humanity. We are committed to fulfilling Christ's mandate to love all people through our services and programs, including those who are without the resources to provide for their support. No person shall be denied services on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, or any other basis prohibited by law. The organization is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes, including, for such purpose, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(d)(3) of the Code and shall not carry on any activities not permitted to be carried on by an organization exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. The organization may do such things and perform those acts to accomplish its purposes as are not forbidden by the Section of the Code.”
