“Organization's process used to review form 990 the form 990 was prepared by an independent accounting firm in conjunction with fedcap's financial department.

“Conflict of interest the conflict of interest policy is signed by appropriate granite pathways employees annually. Each member of the board of directors signs the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. Violation of the policy will subject an employee to disciplinary action or immediate discharge. Employees who have knowledge or suspicion of improper conduct or activities by other employees or outside parties doing business with fedcap, are expected to immediately bring it to the attention of the ceo or director of human resources.”

“Granite pathways does not compensate any of the officers reported on the form 990; that compensation is paid by fedcap rehabilitation services, inc. (an affiliated organization). The process that fedcap undertakes to determine compensation is as follows: the board of directors has established a compensation committee of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation agreement. In determining the president's compensation package, the compensation committee conducts an analysis of industry comparables for individuals performing similar job functions. The compensation committee ultimately makes the decisions about the president's compensation and memorializes its decision in the board minutes.”

“Granite pathways makes its form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org. The organization's financial statements, governing documents and conflict of interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at management's discretion.”

Granite pathways began as a grass-roots initiative that introduced the "clubhouse" model in new hampshire, an evidence-based, self-help community, aimed at eliminating isolation and providing hope, dignity, and recovery options for adults with mental illness. In 2016 granite pathways combined with the fedcap group an international non profit committed to creating opportunities for people with barriers to economic well being. This combination allowed for the expansion of granite pathways into the areas of workforce development and education as well as expand its array of services for those struggling with mental illness or substance use disorders. A hallmark program of granite pathways is its peer recovery services. Research proves that peer-led support is the most effective approach to substance use recovery.”
