Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Staff and board members sign a form every year where they can list any potential conflicts of interest. Distribution of the form is accompanied by a training regarding conflicts of interest, what they are, and the importance of letting the agency know of any conflicts or potential conflicts. If there is even the appearance of a potential conflict, staff and board members are requested to disclose it on the form. The forms are collected and reviewed by the executive director and board of directors, and any conflicts or potential conflicts are reviewed and discussed in order to take appropriate action.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

In adherence to our principle of equitable compensation, the total annual base salary for the executive director shall not exceed three times the total annual base salary of the lowest-paid full-time exempt employee within alternatives. This compensation policy is established to ensure fair and equitable compensation practices within alternatives, a non-profit organization committed to the creation of a just future through practices that heal individuals, restore communities, and transform systems. As part of our commitment to fairness and social responsibility, this policy outlines guidelines for executive compensation in relation to the lowest-paid employees within the organization.”
