“The organization's president and executive director are actively involved in the production of the 990, which will also be reviewed by the treasurer. The entire governing body has been provided a copy of the 990 for any comments prior to filing. The form 990 was shared electronically with the full board for their review.”

“Duty to disclose: in connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. Determining whether a conflict of interest exists: after disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. Procedures for addressing the conflict of interest: a) an interested person may make a presentation at the board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. B) the chairperson of the board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. C) after exercising due diligence, the board or committee shall determine whether the corporation 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. D) if a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. Violations of the conflict of interest policy: a) if the board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. B) if, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“The compensation of the executive director is set by the board in the q4 board meeting, which informs the decision through market comparability data. Salaries for other employees are determined by pre-set bands which map to positions and years of experience, as informed by comparability data, and the organization does not negotiate outside of these bands in salary negotiations. This data came from analyses of similarly situated non-profits in the us.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request.”

“Lamp's mission is to lift millions of workers and their families out of poverty. We work to dramatically increase the scale and quality of labor mobility, helping workers from low-income countries to access quality jobs across borders and businesses in high-income countries to address deepening labor shortages.”

“Lamp increases the scale of existing labor mobility pathways primarily by designing new and expanding access to existing work visas, creating millions of dollars in increased income for workers born in low-income countries and their families, and addressing severe labor needs in high- income countries. Traditional migration policies in high-income countries often exclude workers who could meet the critical labor needs in trade and service sectors, as visa policies are skewed to prioritize workers with advance degrees. Lamp takes an occupational approach to creating and improving migration programs by bridging the needs of employing industries in high-income countries with those of core-skilled workers in low-income countries. We accomplish this by incubating innovative and market-compatible solutions to common challenges preventing employers and workers from utilizing existing unfilled visas (such as language and vocational skills training, easy-to-navigate migration processes, job matching, and access to capital). By demonstrating the power of movement to catalyze shared prosperity in specific sectors and corridors, we provide a blueprint for replication and policy change in other contexts. In cases where labor shortages cannot be addressed through existing visas, lamp works alongside advocacy groups and sending and receiving governments around the world to move towards needed policy and regulatory changes.”

“Lamp improves the quality of existing labor mobility pathways primarily by professionalizing the recruitment industry, improving transparency, and dramatically reducing risks of debt bondage for migrant workers. Responsible recruitment gives workers access to well-paid, rights- respecting jobs abroad while mitigating the risks they face in the migration process. It further provides businesses with access to a steady pool of highly reliable workers that will make it easier to increase productivity gains. Historically, however, the recruitment practices in many migration corridors are unethical and rife with fraud, forcing workers into severe debt or forced labor, driven by perverse incentives built into the design. To improve the quality of recruitment, lamp tailors each project to the realities of each corridor and sector where we work. In some cases, we support by working with existing market players on cost-effective ways to adopt responsible practices or incentivize the transition. In other cases, we help seed a new industry of responsible actors or bolster the delivery capacity and market share of existing ones. In all cases, we seek solutions that acknowledge and help further the interests of everyone at the table - buyers, employers, recruiters, and workers - so that responsible recruitment can be sustained in the long run. Additionally, we recognize that information asymmetries-both in the information provided to workers and about workers' experiences-is a key driver of the risks migrant workers face. To address this, we build tech- based transparency tools that provide visibility into migrant recruitment and employment conditions. We design these tools to be cost-effective in order to deploy them at large scale, and have used them both to monitor recruitment conditions with committed partners and to elevate migrant voices when making policy and program design choices. Moreover, as we design financial products to unlock migration at scale, we take a critical eye to issues of how financial products influence quality. Specifically, we are tackling the issue of debt bondage in tandem with increasing worker opportunity and agency through new financial product designs. Historically, migrant-focused debt has earned a reputation for exploitative practices; it has been characterized by informal agreements with bad actors, usury, poorly designed credit products, and information asymmetries. These are among the reasons why workers fall into debt bondage or, at a minimum, fail to reach the promise of a higher net income while working abroad. We develop financial products that alter the distribution and timing of costs associated with the migration process - whether through insurance systems, working capital for recruiters, or skilling loans to workers, to expand access to migration opportunities across a wider income distribution while minimizing the risks migrants face.”
