Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form is reviewed by executive director jackson maynard and director of communications and operations paige mcelwrath. When it's in final form, it is reviewed by our board of directors to ensure accuracy. From there, the final approved document is sent back to our accountants for filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The citizen action defense fund (cadf) has a conflict of interest policy to ensure transparency and fairness when actual or potential conflicts arise involving directors or officers. Directors and officers must avoid conflicts between their personal interests and those of cadf, disclosing any financial interests or affiliations that could influence their judgment. When a potential conflict is disclosed, the board evaluates it without the interested person present and decides whether the transaction is fair and in cadf's best interest. Records of all disclosures, discussions, and decisions are maintained, and board members receiving compensation cannot vote on related matters. Additionally, all directors and officers must annually affirm their understanding and compliance with this policy to help cadf maintain its nonprofit status.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements with donor information redacted available to the public upon request.”
