“The form 990 is reviewed by the chief executive officer and the executive committee prior to filing with the irs. A copy of the form 990 is then provided to each member of the board of directors.”

“A copy of the conflict of interest policy is provided annually to each member of the governing body as well as to all officers and key employees; each is reminded to review the policy and to report any conflicts of interest. 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 the committees with governing board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. In an effort to aid such disclosure, each member (board, committee, chief executive officer, chief operating officer) completes the interfaith works conflict of interest questionnaire as circumstances warrant, but no less frequently than annually. The board or committee reviews each member questionnaire and any other disclosures regarding the financial interests of its members. After disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person leaves the board or committee meeting while the remaining board or committee members discuss and vote on whether a conflict of interest exists. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee determines whether the organization can obtain with reasonable effort a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not produce a conflict of interest. The interested person is not present in the room during the determination. If an alternative transaction or arrangement is not possible, the governing board or committee determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interests of the organization, for its own benefit, and fair and reasonable. Based on these determinations, the board or committee makes its decision on whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. If the board or committee has reason to believe an individual has failed to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, it will inform the member and allow him/her to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If the board or committee still has reason to believe a conflict of interest exists after the alleged conflict is explained, it will take corrective action, possibly including removal of the member from the board or committee or from employment at interfaith works.”
