Datakind Inc

“Datakind does not have a secondary committee that acts on behalf of the governing body. The board of directors functions on its own without a secondary committee.”

“The form 990 was prepared by outside accountants and reviewed by the executive director and chief operating officer. The return was then circulated to the full board of directors prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

“Officers, directors and key employees are required to sign a conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person discloses the existence of the financial interest and is given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after discussions with the interested person, the interested person leaves the board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the disinterested board or committee members. The remaining board or committee members decide if a conflict of interest exists.”

“The salaries for the officers were determined based on research performed on comparable rates for non-profit ceos and coos based on years of experience and location. It was agreed upon by management that the salaries were in an acceptable range, and they were reviewed and approved by the board of directors. The last compensation review took place in january 2020.”

“Datakind makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
