“At each board and committee meeting, if there is a discussion of selecting or engaging a vendor or service provider, all in attendance are asked to recuse themselves from this discussion if there could be a perceived conflict. Annually, the organization reviews and discusses the conflict of interest policy and requests that each board member list and acknowledge any known conflicts.”

“The board may hire and compensate individuals for necessary services rendered to the organization so long as such compensation is reasonable. The board shall determine reasonable compensation amounts based upon compensation paid by similarly situated nonprofits for like services. The board may rely upon salary studies, as well as data regarding compensation paid by at least three specific peer organizations of similar size to determine reasonable compensation. The terms of such compensation, information relied upon to determine the terms of any compensation, and its source shall be recorded in writing. An individual who is a voting member of the board or a committee with the board delegated powers and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the foundation for services is precluded from participating in discussions or votes pertaining to their own compensation.”

“The organization will provide its governing documents, including its conflict of interest policy, and copies of its tax return upon written request.”
