“The president of the organization distributes a pdf copy of the 990 to all board members for review and comment prior to the return being filed.”

“At each board and committee meeting, if there is a discussion of selecting or engaging a vendor or service provider, all in attendance are asked to recuse themselves from this discussion if there could be a perceived conflict. Annually, the organization reviews and discusses the conflict of interest policy and requests that each board member list and acknowledge any known conflicts.”

“The board may hire and compensate individuals for necessary services rendered to the organization so long as such compensation is reasonable. The board shall determine reasonable compensation amounts based upon compensation paid by similarly situated nonprofits for like services. The terms of such compensation and information relied upon shall be recorded in writing. An individual who is a member of the board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the organization for services is precluded from participating in discussions or votes on their own compensation. Currently, all directors are volunteers.”

“The organization will provide, in a timely manner, copies of all governing documents, including its conflict of interest policy, and tax returns when requested in writing or in person as required by federal or state law. The 990 is also available to the general public by going to guidestar.org.”
