“The federal form 990 is first reviewed by the director of finance and outside counsel. It is then approved by the co-founders & co-executive directors and the chief operating officer. The final draft is then forwarded to the board of directors before filing with the internal revenue service.”

“Upon or before hire, election, or appointment, each employee and board member must provide a full written disclosure of all direct or indirect financial interests that could potentially result in a conflict of interest. Employees and board members must disclose any interests in a proposed transaction or decision that may create a conflict of interest. After disclosure, the employee or board member will not be permitted to participate in the transaction or decision. Should there be any dispute as to whether a conflict of interest exists: 1) the co-founders & co-executive directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists for an employee, and shall determine the appropriate response. 2) the board of directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists for the co-founders & co-executive directors or a board member, and shall determine the appropriate response. If the board or executive committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary corrective action.”

“The compensation of the co-founders & co-executive directors involves an analysis of comparable salaries at other non-profit organizations of a similar size. The final compensation is reviewed and approved by the board of directors, in addition to being documented via email. The co-founders & co-executive directors whose salaries are under review abstained from the debate and vote.”
