“The finance committee plays a vital role in reviewing and approving financials before they are submitted to the cpa for tax preparation. Members carefully review the numbers, discuss any concerns, and approve them prior to submission. Before the final 990 is submitted, the cpa provides a draft to the finance committee for a detailed review. Committee members are required to provide email approval of the 990. If any concerns arise, an ad hoc finance committe meeting is convened to address them. Once finalized, the 990 is shared with the full board at the next scheduled board meeting.”

“All board members are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure form and an agreement to serve upon joining the board. Members initially commit to a 12-month term, after which they can renew for a three-year term. Each renewal includes an updated disclosure of any new or ongoing conflicts of interest. To ensure consistent compliance, the board chair or governance committee chair annually request all board members to disclose any new conflicts of interest in january. This process reinforces transparency and accountability within the organization.”

“The finance committee provides oversight of all financial matters related to the organization. Monthly financial reports are reviewed and discussed during regular committee and/or board meetings to ensure fiscal responsibility and alignment with the organization's mission.”

“Our organization maintains a platinum transparency status on candid/guidestar by keeping our profile regulary updated.

We prominently link to this profile on our website and in all emails, ensuring easy access to information for stakeholders and the public.”
