“The form 990 was prepared by an independent public accounting firm and reviewed in detail by on being management. The form 990 was provided to each board member for review and comment prior to filing with the irs.”

“The organization's conflict of interest policy applies to any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with board-delegated powers. Each covered member annually signs a statement affirming that they have received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands that the organization is a charitable organization that must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of its exempt purposes. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, a covered person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors or committee members considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. The interested person will leave the meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the remaining board or committee members. If appropriate, the board chair will appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under the circumstances that would give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interest of the organization. The minutes of the board of directors and all committees with board-delegated powers record all proceedings resulting from potential or actual conflicts of interest including alternative arrangements explored.”
