The circulated copy does not include schedule b contributors, if any, or compensation paid by the supported organization. This information is made available upon request.”

“Every trustee, officer, board member, committee member and employee in a position to influence, provide non-public information or vote on foundation policies or expenditures, (a 'key individual') is required to sign a statement acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of the conflict of interest policy prior to employment or serving on the foundation board or key committee. The conflict of interest policy is reviewed with trustees annually at a jch board meeting. In addition, any new key individual is provided a copy of the policy upon commencement of his or her position as a key individual and is required to sign and deliver to jch a statement acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of the policy. A copy of the policy is sent annually to all key individuals. The federation (supported organization) endowment department personnel are responsible for maintaining copies of signed statements and following up to ensure that a statement is obtained from each key individual. The assistant treasurer of jch (who was also cfo of the supported organization as of june 30,2024) is responsible for monitoring conflict situations, if any.

“Jch is included in the audited consolidated financial statements of the federation, the supported organization. The federation's audit committee, comprised of independent volunteers, recommends the independent accountants to the federation's board of trustees which must approve the appointment. The audit committee provides oversight of the audit and reviews the audited financial statements with staff and the independent accountants prior to issuance. The audit committee also meets independently with the independent accountants to discuss the audit process.”
