The Health Foundation Inc

“The finance officer, executive director, and the finance committee review the return before the return is signed and filed.”

“The foundation collects information from board members about their affiliations and spousal affiliations on a yearly basis, and asks them to review and sign the conflict of interest policy anew each year. Management reviews grant applications from entities seeking funding from the foundation and compares its current board list with health foundation board members, and makes note of any conflicts that exist during the review process. The conflict is thus made known to all members of the program committee, who make recommendations to the full board. Any conflict is stated at that time, and the chairman asks if any other conflicts exist. Members who have a conflict of interest are asked to leave the room for the vote. The same process is followed for real estate contracts and negotiations. There is also a state and expected onus of reponsibility put on board members to disclose any conflicts we may be unaware of. All of the above applies to management and staff as well.”

“The personnel committee, consisting of the officers and at-large members of the executive committee, are independent members of the board of directors of the health foundation, inc and are responsible for determining the compensation of the executive director and staff on an annual basis. The committee, in conversation with the executive director, determines yearly goals in the areas of fundrasing, administration, communications, community relations, leadership and planning, records maintenance, and other areas as deemed fit by the board of directors. Current compensation is compared to the most currently available salary reports, as prepared by various professional associations of not-for-profit entities. The chairman of the committee references the director's and staff salaries taking into consideration budget size, type of institution, number of employees supervised, years of experience, region, cost of living changes, highest level of education, and professional designations achieved. The committee deliberates outside the presence of the director and staff and then makes its salary recommendations to the full board. After discussion, approvals are made and the director notified. The health foundation, inc has adopted the association of fundraising professionals code of ethical conduct and therefore does not provide percentage based commissions or bonuses based solely on fundraising goals to the executive director.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
