“The organization has a policy that addresses both conflict of interest (i.e. Business or financial interests) and duality of interest (i.e. Affiliations with other nonprofits which may apply for grants from the organization.) responses to the conflict of interest disclosures are reviewed by the president & ceo, senior management and operations staff. If conflicts exist, they are noted and disclosed during the board's discussion of any applicable business arrangement and the conflicted person cannot vote on the arrangement. No such circumstances arose during 2021. Dualities of interest are noted and disclosed during the competitive grant making process and the conflicted person must leave the room when the impacted grant application is discussed and voted on.”
