“Lever Foundation has a thorough written conflict of interest policy that directors and employees sign yearly. All persons having a conflict or potential conflict are required to disclose such to the rest of the Board for their review and consideration. Compliance is enforced by the Board, which reviews all potential conflicts of interest, and persons with a conflict of interest abstain from discussions relating to transactions or arrangements that involve or may involve actual or potential conflicts of interest. The potential existence of conflicts is considered when each Board discussion and vote is held, and also reviewed once yearly when the annual conflict of interest policy is re-signed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Yes the process for determining compensation was reviewed and approved by independent members of the Board and was contemporaneously substantiated in the meeting minutes of the Board deliberation an acceptable compensation amount included comparability considerations.”
