“Management performs a detailed review of the Form 990. After management's review, the Form 990 is circulated to all board members via email prior to filing with the IRS. Sufficient time is allowed for addressing comments or questions.”

“Transactions with parties with whom a conflicting interest exists may be undertaken only if all of the following are observed: 1. The conflicting interest is fully disclosed; 2. The person with the conflict of interest is excluded from the discussion and approval of such transaction; 3. A competitive bid or comparable valuation exists; and 4. The board has determined that the transaction is in the best interest of the organization. Disclosure involving volunteers in the organization should be made to the Board Chair, who shall bring the matter to the attention of the board of directors. Disclosure involving directors and committee members should be made to the Board Chair, (or if she or he is the one with the conflict, then to the Board Vice-Chair) who shall bring these matters to the board of directors. The board of directors determines whether a conflict exists and in the case of an existing conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to the organization. The decision of the board of directors on these matters will rest in their sole discretion, and their concern must be the welfare of the organization and the advancement of its purpose. The conflict of interest disclosure statement will be completed annually. Administrative staff tracks that the board of directors reviews the policy annually and ensures that each board member signs an acknowledgement form.”

“The Organization's conflict of interest policy, financial statements and governing documents are made available at the Organization's office during normal business hours or by request.”
