“At the annual meeting of DSW's board of directors (which occurs each summer), there is a formal review of potential conflicts of interest among board members, officers, and key employees.”

“DSW's principal donors helped establish (but didn't dictate) the political director's compensation; in addition, DSW's board of directors obtained compensation guidance for the political-director position from the Forms 990 of -- as well as surveys of similar employees who work at -- other nonprofit organizations. And the political director similarly established the compensation of all other DSW employees by deriving wisdom from various nonprofit organizations' Forms 990 and surveys of employees.”

“DSW maintains in its Austin office the organization's key institutional documents. In addition to mailing documents to interested parties upon request, the organization also makes some of its key documents available on charity-related websites, including Charity Navigator, the Economic Research Institute, and Candid. These key documents include: (1) the initial Form 1023 that established DSW's 501(c)(3) tax status; (2) the annual Forms 990; (3) the organization's internal policy prohibiting discrimination and harassment among the staff, board of directors, and outside consultants; and (4) four additional internal policies involving conflicts of interest, whistleblowers, retention of documents, and privacy of data.”
