“A copy of the form 990 was provided to all members of the governing body prior to filing.”

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

“To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with its tax-exempt purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board of directors. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the board of directors (excluding the interested person) shall decide whether the disclosed financial interest constitutes a conflict of interest. If the board of directors decides that a particular transaction constitutes a conflict of interest, the board of directors shall disallow the transaction that gives rise to the conflict of interest. If the board of directors decides that a particular transaction does not constitute a conflict of interest, the board of directors shall document its decision and the basis for the decision and such determination shall be retained with the organization's corporate and financial records.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
