Any trustee who has an interest in a contract or other transaction presented to the Forest Foundation for authorization, approval or ratification is required to make a prompt and full disclosure of such interest to the Trustees prior to action on such matter. The trustees (other than the disclosing trustee) then make a determination whether the disclosure shows that a conflict of interest exists or can reasonably be construed to exist. If so, the disclosing trustee shall not vote on, nor participate (other than presenting factual information) in the discussions or deliberations with respect to such action.”
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees
“The Forest Foundation does not compensate its trustees and it has no other officers or employees. Accordingly, no process for compensation was necessary.”
