“The completed 990 is first reviewed by the Executive Director then sent to all board members via email including the Treasurer. Each board member has 1 week to complete their review or to request additional review time. After 1 week AND once the Treasurer has completed their review AND if there are no outstanding requests from directors for additional review time or changes then the 990 is submitted to the IRS.”

“All Board Members associated employees and key personnel are required to annually disclose any current or potential financial and non-financial conflicts of interest. It is the responsibility of each individual to re-declare changes that occur prior to the annual disclosure. Once the Conflict of Interest Discloser Form is completed it is received by our independent Compliance Officer. If the Compliance Officer observes a conflict of interest they convene a meeting of FPI's audit committee to determine the appropriate course of action and follow-up procedure. Outside of these occasions every 2-years the Audit Committee convenes to review all disclosures that have been received for up to 2 years prior as well as general organizational policy pertaining to COI Confidentiality Transparency Discrimination and Inclusion and Workplace Harassment.”

“The individual in question provides a suggested level of conmpensation to the board of Directors. Prior to review all board members are requested to declare any potential conflicts of interest relating to compensation of said person. Board members with real or perceived conflicts of interest refrain from participation for the remainder of the review process. All remaining Board Members have a live discussion of the suggested compensation in lieu of the organizational budget the cost of hiring someone external to perform the tasks and the level of compensation that would be received by someone of similar credentials and responsibility at a NPO of similar size and annual budget. Based on this review process an offer is made to the individual in question and negotiation between the Board of Directors and said person continues until an agreement is reached or it is determined that alternative candidates will be considered. Determination of this process is documented and incorporated to the biannual meetings of the Board of Directors and associated minutes.”
