Seattle Rotary Service Foundation

“All members of the Rotary Club of Seattle are members of the Foundation.”

“The members of the Foundation elect the Board of Trustees.”

“The Board of Trustees can alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Foundation, at which time the members of the Foundation are notified in writing of such change. The members may approve or rescind the Board's actions with respect to the bylaws by way of a membership vote. The vote supersedes and takes precedence over any action of the Board of Trustees in making changes to the bylaws.”

“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The draft 990 is reviewed by the full Board of Trustees prior to filing with the IRS.”

“The Trustees and Officers of the Foundation are asked annually if they have any conflicts of interest. If there is a conflict, the Trustee is immediately asked not to take part in the decision.”

“The Foundation makes its governing documents available to its members through its website. Financial statements, conflict of interest and other policies are made available to members and the public upon request.”
