“Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person: 1) has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, 2) has read and understands the policy, 3) has agreed to comply with the policy, and 4) understands that the corporation is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.”

“To ensure the corporation operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information and the result of arm's length bargaining. When conducting the periodic reviews, the corporation may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the governing board of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted.”

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

“In 2019, a review was performed by an independent accounting firm. The cpa provides the board of directors with a copy of the report for the year and answers any of the board's questions. The cpa works closely with the board of directors during the year should any concerns arise.”
