Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington

“Seattle goodwill industries amended their articles of incorporation to change their name to evergreen goodwill of northwest washington.”

“Evergreen goodwill engages an outside accounting firm to prepare the form 990 from input and data provided by the chief financial officer and accounting director. A draft form is reviewed by the chief financial officer and accounting director for accuracy before a final form 990 is produced. The final form 990 is then provided to all board members approximately one week before the form 990 is filed with the irs. As per irs guidance, the board members are not required to approve the form 990.”

“Conflict of interest disclosure forms are distributed annually to the board of directors, officers, managers and the accounting staff. Communication is made about the importance of disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest so that they can be appropriately managed. Each new board member is also provided this same form and information. Staff have been trained on our ethics policies. Clear procedures are established for the anonymous reporting of ethics violations through a 1-800 reporting service or directly to the compliance officer or chair of the board finance and audit committee. Each year, the compliance officer makes a report to the finance and audit committee of the board and to the full board of directors on compliance policy matters, including a summary of conflict of interest form disclosures. The compliance officer reviews conflict of interest forms and if a potential conflict of interest exists, steps are taken to remove the person from decisions that would trigger an actual conflict of interest.”

“Ceo compensation is established by the compensation committee of the board of independent directors. Using competitive salary surveys and considering organization and individual performance, the compensation committee reports its recommendation to the board annually before changes are made to the ceo compensation. The vp positions are approved by the board, but the vp compensation is established by the ceo, also considering individual performance and competitive salary surveys. The compensation committee receives a report of the vp compensation at the same time it considers ceo compensation each year. The last compensation review occurred in july 2021.”

“The form 990 is published on our website. We do not publish our governing documents, conflict of interest policy, or financials to the general public. These are provided to grant funders, lessors, and lenders upon request. Summary financial information is provided, along with mission outcomes, to the public in our annual report. The annual report is provided to those who have requested to be on our distribution list and published on our website.”
