“A complete copy of the form is provided to the governing body prior to filing.”

“Upon or before hire, election, or appointment each employee and board member must provide a full written disclosure of all direct or indirect financial interests that could potentially result in a conflict of interest. Examples include employer, business, and other nonprofit affiliations, and those of family members or a significant other. This written disclosure will be kept on file and will be updated annually and as needed. Employees and board members must disclose any interests in a proposed transaction or decision that may create a conflict of interest. After disclosure, the employee or board member will not be permitted to participate in the transaction or decision. Should there be any dispute as to whether a conflict of interest exists: 1) the Executive Director shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists for an employee and shall determine the appropriate response; 2) the Board of Directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists for the executive director or a member of the board and shall determine the appropriate response.”

“The Board of Directors utilized the Compensation Connections salary survey, adjusted to the median of market, and the salary was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. This process was last conducted in December 2024.”

“The Prior Period Adjustment of $669,930 is correcting funds that were misclassified in 2023 as conditional revenue and not recorded in 2023. Through further internal review and in preparation for The Organization's first audit, it was determined that these funds were not actually conditional and were instead restricted. Upon hiring a Contract CFO to help with audit preparations, The Organization reclassified the funds as pledges and grants receivable in the amount of $664,421 as of December 31, 2023. This was related to promises to give that had been received by The Organization and were unconditional as of December 31, 2023. In addition to these pledges and grants receivable, there was an additional $5,509 of other small adjustments.”
