Naf Hotline Fund

“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed in detail with senior management. A copy of the 990 was then e-mailed to the board for review. Board members were invited to review and consult with senior management and the organization's accounting staff if they had questions. A copy of the final 990 was sent to the board before it was filed with irs.”

“The conflict of interest policy is mailed to the members of the board of directors. Staff collect the completed forms. After receiving information about a possible conflict of interest, the president/ceo or, when applicable, the board chair, take actions necessary to ensure that the transaction is completed in the best interest of the naf hotline fund without the substantive involvement of the person who has the possible conflict of interest. A written record of any report of possible conflict and of any adjustment made to avoid possible conflicts of interests is kept by the president/ceo or, where applicable, board chair. Staff also receive a conflict of interest policy as part of the employee handbook. Upon being hired, they sign a certification, attesting that they have received, read, and understand the policy. The form is also redistributed annually, with signatures obtained each year.”

“Because the naf hotline fund is a supporting organization of naf and the president/ceo is a naf employee, the hotline fund relies on the processes used by naf. The board of directors of naf reviews the performance of the president/ceo annually. Decisions about compensation are guided by the evaluation and a review of compensation data of similar non-profit organizations, which is conducted by the chair. The board chair prepares a confidential summary of the assessment, which is shared with the president/ceo. The 2015 compensation review was completed in april 2016. The president/ceo determines the salaries of the employees of the naf hotline fund. The hlf board approves written compensation schedules for employees as part of the annual budget process. These schedules are developed by reviewing compensation data for comparable positions at similar non-profit organizations.”
