“The form 990 is reviewed by the president prior to filing with the irs.”

“The foundation's conflict of interest policy applies to all directors, officers, employees, and volunteers of the foundation. Duty to disclose: an interested person must disclose the existence of any actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest as soon as such interested person identifies that there may be a conflict of interest, and before the foundation enters into the proposed transaction or arrangement that gives rise to the conflict of interest. (a) the disclosure shall be made to: (i) the board of directors if the interested person is a director or officer; or (ii) the interested person's manager if the interested person is an employee or volunteer, who shall in turn inform the board of directors of the disclosed conflict of interest. (b) the interested person shall be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board of directors concerning the proposed transaction or arrangement, including the circumstances giving rise to the conflict of interest. Determining whether a conflict of interest exists: after disclosure of the actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest, the board shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists by following the procedures described below: (a) the interested person shall disclose all material facts relating to the potential conflict of interest to the board. (b) after any discussion between the board and the interested person, the interested person shall leave the board meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. (c) the board members, other than the conflicted interested person(s), shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. If the remaining board, constituting no less than a majority of the board then in office, determines by a majority vote that no conflict exists, no further review of the transaction by the board is required if not ordinarily required in the normal course of business. (d) the determination that a conflict of interest exists shall not preclude the board (other than the conflicted interested person(s)) from approving the matter. Procedures for addressing the conflict of interest: to address a conflict of interest, the board shall follow the procedures described below: (a) an interested person may make a presentation at the board meeting, but after the presentation, the interested person shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the conflict of interest. (b) the interested person shall not attempt to intervene with or improperly influence the deliberations or voting on the matter giving rise to the conflict of interest. Violations of the conflict of interest policy: (a) if the board has reasonable cause to believe an interested person has failed to disclose an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest, it shall inform the interested person of the basis for such belief and afford the interested person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. (b) if, after hearing the interested person's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board determines the interested person has failed to disclose an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action, up to and including termination of employment or volunteering, or removal from the board. (c) each director, officer, employee, and volunteer is responsible for reporting to his or her manager or to the board any suspected failure to disclose by any interested person, regardless of position, in accordance with the foundation's whistleblower policy. (d) conduct that violates this policy is always considered outside the scope of employment of any employee acting on behalf of the foundation.”
