“A copy of the completed form 990 was circulated to the officers of cccc for comment and inquiry several weeks prior to its filing. A copy was also provided to the board of directors for inspection.”

“(a) the purpose of this conflicts of interest policy is to protect cccc's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations. (b) for purposes of this section 2, the following words will have the definitions set forth below: (1) any director, officer, or member of a committee who has a direct or indirect financial interest (as defined below) is an "interested person." (2) a person has a "financial interest" if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: (i) an ownership or investment interest in any entity with which cccc has a transaction or arrangement; (ii) a compensation arrangement with cccc or with any entity or individual with which cccc has a transaction or arrangement; or (iii) a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which cccc is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. For purposes of this section, compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under this section, a person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the board of directors or committee decides that a conflict of interest exists. (c) the following procedures will be observed in determining whether a conflict of interest exists: (1) in connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board of directors' delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. (2) after disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he or she will leave the meeting of the board of directors or committee while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board of directors or committee members will decide if a conflict of interest exists. (d) the following procedures will be observed for addressing a conflict of interest: (1) an interested person may make a presentation at the meeting of the board of directors or committee, but after the presentation, he or she will leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. (2) the chairperson or the chairperson of the committee will, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. (3) after exercising due diligence, the board of directors or committee will determine whether cccc can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. (4) if a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board of directors or committee will determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors or members of the committee whether the transaction or arrangement is in cccc's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it will make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. (e) the following procedures will be observed for addressing a violation of the conflicts of interest policy: (1) if the board of directors or committee has reasonable cause to believe a person has failed to disclose actual or p”
