Nwtf Foundation

“Once the 990 form is prepared, it is reviewed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief of legal services and sent to the board of directors prior to submittal.”

“It is the policy of nwtf foundation that no director, officer or employee shall take any action, engage in any activity or place herself or himself in a position which reasonably could be construed to be in conflict with the best interests of the nwtf foundation. Every director, officer and employee has a duty to avoid business, financial or other direct or indirect interests or relationships which conflict with the interests of the nwtf foundation, which divide one's loyalty to the nwtf foundation, or which detract from providing full attention to one's employment responsibilities. Any activities which even appear to present such a conflict, such as receipts of gifts from vendors, work with organizations in competition with the nwtf foundation, or acceptance of mutual employment withany vendor, member-owned or -operated organization, or competing organization must be avoided or terminated unless, after disclosure to the appropriate level of management (which is the employee's direct supervisor - or if the supervisor is not available or if the supervisor is present within the conflict - the human resources director), it is determined that the activity is not harmful to the nwtf foundation or otherwise improper. Employees failing to report such conflicts may be subject to immediate termination.”
