“Subject to climate does not have other committee's with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The form 990 and all required schedules are prepared by subject to climate's independent accounting firm. The completed form 990 is reviewed by the board members electronically and are given the opportunity to respond if there are any comments/concerns. Moving forward, the form 990 and all required schedules will also be reviewed by the finance and audit committee.”

“When team members join, the conflict-of-interest policy is given to them as part of the onboarding process. The policy is reviewed every year with the board members to consistently monitor and enforce compliance.”
