“The bylaws allow for the seattle symphony orchestra, the supported organization, to select six board members for the seattle symphony foundation.”
“Prior to filing, the controller and the vice president of finance conduct a detailed review of form 990 and related schedules. The board president and audit committee also review the report prior to filing. A public disclosure copy of the return is available to all board members at the seattle symphony foundation's offices.”
“The interested persons covered under the conflict of interest policy include directors of the seattle symphony foundation. After a potential conflict of interest is identified, a disinterested person or committee investigates the potential conflict and determines if any alternative solutions are available. If a more advantageous transaction is available that does not give rise to a conflict of interest, that alternative is preferred. If an alternative is not available, the issue is discussed with the board of directors. The board shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested board members whether the transaction is in the best interest of the foundation and for its own benefit.”
“Governing documents and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
“The foundation follows the policies and procedures of the seattle symphony orchestra regarding whistleblower policy and document retention and destruction.
