“Crs-21st has adopted a detailed written conflict of interest policy which defines conflicts of interest and requires officers, directors, and key employees affirmatively and promptly to disclose all conflicts of interest, including potential conflicts. Compliance with the conflict of interest policy is mandatory. It also includes requiring all persons subject to the conflict of interest policy annually to sign a statement affirming that they are familiar with the terms of the conflict of interest policy. The policy requires all persons subject to the policy to provide annually written responses to a questionnaire entitled "conflict of interest disclosure statement." all persons subject to the conflict of interest policy are obligated by the policy promptly to inform the chair of the board of directors of any material change that develops with regard to their disclosure statement that is distributed to directors and officers at the annual meeting of the board of directors.”

“The board of directors is guided in terms of determining appropriate, fair and reasonable compensation by written compensation guidelines. These guidelines were adopted by the board of directors to establish a procedure whereby compensation is assessed in terms of relevant market-based conditions. The compensation guidelines are based on procedures set forth in the treasury regulation interpreting internal revenue code section 4958. Pursuant to the compensation guidelines, the board of directors reviews appropriate comparability surveys that present the compensation data of other tax-exempt organizations with similar missions and revenues, to assess what is ordinary and reasonable in terms of the relevant market for compensation. The data included in the comparability surveys comes from numerous sources, such as association surveys and consultant research studies. The data is focused on comparable tax-exempt organizations located within the greater washington, dc metropolitan area.”

“Crs-21st provides the audited financial statements and the federal form 990 upon request. The charity makes available upon request copies of its articles of incorporation and bylaws. The same applies for the conflict of interest policy and compensation guidelines.”
