“The foundation's 990 return has a comprehensive review process that is followed before it is presented to the governing body of the foundation. The review process includes a layered review by the tax department of group health, inc. (ghi), the management team of the foundation, ghi's internal legal department and the foundation's outside independent accountants. Each one of those areas has an opportunity to review, ask questions and make comments back to the tax department of ghi before the form 990 is completed and presented to the governing body of the foundation. Once that review process has been completed, it is the policy of the foundation to make available to the board of directors of the foundation a copy of the 990 prior to the filing of the 990 return.”

“The foundation board monitors potential conflicts of interest on the part of its board members, principal officers, members of committees with board delegated powers, and key employees ("covered persons") by maintaining a conflict of interest policy. Under the policy, covered persons annually are provided with a copy of the policy and asked to complete a questionnaire identifying any potential conflicts of interests. The general counsel of healthpartners reviews the questionnaire responses and develops a report detailing any potentially material conflicts for the president and chair of the board. A verbal summary is also given to the full board or appropriate committee ending with a reminder to covered persons of the policy's mandate that each person is obligated to disclose any new potential conflicts as they may arise throughout the year. Board agendas and executive decisions are monitored in relation to this policy. If a disclosed conflict of interest impacts an agenda item or decision, the covered person would be excluded from voting and may be excluded from receiving information and/or participating in deliberations, depending on the circumstances.”
