“The chairman of the board of directors, all other officers of the board and executive director will review the form 990.”

“The texas forest country community foundation board is required to disclose any actual or possible conflicts of interest. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the foundation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the foundation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable.”

“Disclosure of governing documents, policies and financial statements are posted on own website or given upon request.”

“The mission of the foundation is to enrich our region of texas by providing professional management services to donors for their charitable causes, awarding visionary grants and scholarships, and nurturing collaborations in our community.”
