A certification and disclosure form will also be distributed to the members of the Board of Directors, officers and key employees. The individual will certify that he or she has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy; has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy; and understands that the organization is charitable and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of its exempt purposes and not engage in activities and transactions that provide impermissible benefits to individuals or entities. In addition, the certification and disclosure form will also require each person to either certify that he or she has no actual or possible conflict of interest to report; or describe any relationships, transactions or other circumstances, including those of an immediate family member, that could result in a conflict between the organizations interests and his or her personal, financial or other interests.”
