“The organizations form 990 was prepared by the organizations cpa in consultation with the organizations management. A complete copy of the form 990 was provided to the organizations board of directors before it was filed.”

“The organization provides a copy of its conflict of interest policy to all board members during onboarding. In addition, a copy is provided annually. All board members are required to review the policy and sign a disclosure statement, which acknowledges and understanding of the policy and discloses any potential conflicts of interest they are aware of. All potential conflicts of interest are reviewed by the governing board or committee to determine the appropriate action to be taken to eliminate or mitigate risks posed by the conflict. The organization requires that board members with conflict of interest be recused from the deliberation and voting related to a transaction or action in which they may have conflict.”

“At the time of hire and on an annual basis following, a committee of the board of directors establishes the compensation of the co-directors. The organization requires that no member of the committee have a conflict of interest related to the compensation arrangement. The committee uses salary surveys, publicly available 990s, and/or other information for similar positions and similar organizations to establish a reasonable level of compensation. The committee contemporaneously documents its discussions and decisions in committee minutes.”

“The organizations governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request to the organizations office. In addition, the organizations 990s is available through guidestar.org and the organizations articles of incorporation are available through the oregon secretary of states office.”

“Defaultveg creaturekind's defaultveg program provides a simple, affordable, and inclusive way to help christians and christian communities reduce their environmental footprint, care for the welfare of farmed animals, support small farmers, and demonstrate our stewardship of creation in the meals we share. -every year we host a webinar explaining the tenets of our main food policy campaign to incorporate plant-based foods within christian communities, defaultveg. In 2021, the defaultveg webinar, in partnership with the better food foundation, was attended by creaturekind members in north america, south america, africa, and europe. We also continue to educate christians about making plant-based the default in their own communities through regular social media recipe content, blogs for seasonal eating, as well as content that explores the deeper strategy of the campaign work and connects plant-based eating and animal liberation with more established christian justice frameworks (i.e. Defaultveg: de-centering whiteness and working for the liberation of all).”
