“The epa administrator has the power to appoint all the members of the board.”

“In the congressional act that created neef, it stipulates that the epa approves all nominees to the organization's board of directors.”

“The 990 was reviewed by the senior director of finance and administration and the president of the foundation. It was then sent to the president and treasurer of the board of trustees for review. Both contact the foundation staff and/or the auditors directly if needed. The 990 was then presented to the full board for approval prior to filing with the irs.”

“The board and staff complete a conflict of interest form annually. If a conflict of interest arises, any board member failing to make a disclosure is subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal. If the president or a member of the board of directors fails to file a required disclosure, the chairman of the board of directors decides on appropriate action. If the chairman fails to make a required disclosure, the vice chairman decides an appropriate action.”

“The executive committee reviews a salary survey and also what individuals in comparable positions in other, similarly sized nonprofits are currently being paid. This is done through review of the 990's of other non-profits and also professional contacts. The compensation process is documented in the board minutes. This policy applies to the president and this process is implemented and reviewed by the board chair. The board treasurer is consulted on the compensation of key employees of the organization. The last compensation review took place in october 2017.”

“Financial information is provided in the foundation's annual report on the website www.neefusa.org. Financial statements are available upon request online and in print. The organizational documents establishing the foundation are available online and the conflict of interest policy is available upon request.”

“Wellbeing of the earth and its people. Our mission is to make the environment ever-present in the daily lives of americans by delivering practical, accessible information they can use through the sources they know and trust. Neef seeks to reach mainstream americans who are receptive to environmental knowledge but only somewhat engaged. Our aim is to reach people where they are and inspire them to learn about their relationship to the environment and, in turn, increase their environmental engagement. With increased environmental involvement of individuals on a national scale, their actions, taken collectively, will have a tremendous environmental impact - and help bring about a cultural shift in attitudes and behaviors.”
