“The conflict of interest policy covers any director, officer or committee member with powers delegated by the organization's board of directors who has a direct or indirect financial interest with respect to a given transaction or arrangement. An interested person has a financial interest with respect to a given transaction or arrangement if the person directly engages in a transaction or arrangement with the organization, or has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment or family, any of the following: i. An ownership or investment interest in which the organization has a transaction or arrangement ii. A compensation arrangement with the organization or with any entity or individual with which the foundation has a transaction or arrangement, or iii. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with any entity or individual with which the organization is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are substantial in nature. An interested person is required to disclose the existence of a potential conflict of interest to the board and members of committees with board-delegated powers. The interested party leaves the room while the board or board committee reviews and discusses all material facts, and votes upon the existence of a conflict of interest. A majority vote determines if there is a conflict of interest. In addition, the president or committee chairperson may appoint a disinterested person to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. Following due diligence, the board or board committee will decide if a more advantageous transaction or arrangement that does not give rise to a conflict of interest is attainable. For all actual or potential conflict of interest issues, the minutes of the board and all board committees contain the names of the interested persons, names of persons present for discussion and voting, the content of the discussion, the recording of the votes, and the action taken. Each director, officer and member of a board committee annually signs a statement that attests that the individual has received, read, understood and agrees to comply with the conflict of interest policy. A copy of the disclosure form is retained within the organization's books and records.”
