“There is no separate committee with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“A copy of the form 990 is provided to the governing body before it is filed with the irs.”

“Conflict of interest policy and procedures (the "policy") is designed to ensure that whenever a matter is discussed or a decision is made by the organization's governing board or committee, board and committee members first are made aware of the existence of any actual or potential conflicts of interest. The policy also requires the organization to gather information about such conflicts. This is done by requiring each board member, officer, and key employee and any other person who regularly attends the organization board and committee meetings to complete and file a conflict of interest disclosure statement ("disclosure statement") before serving on the board or any committee with board-designated powers. The disclosure statement requires each board member, officer, or key employee to disclose any business or personal interests, direct or indirect, that the person may have in an organization that competes with or does business with the organization or any other organization affiliated with the organization. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, such individual, and any other interested person vis a vis that person or transaction, shall leave the board or committee meeting while the determination of whether any conflict of interest (actual or potential) exists is discussed and voted upon. The remaining disinterested board or committee members (referred to as the "independent evaluation committee or "iec") shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The minutes of the meeting of the board at which any possible conflict of interest is addressed shall contain the names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the iec's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed.”

At least every three years, the board will benchmark the director of food programming's pay against other non profits using public 990 information for non profits of a comparable size and responsibilities.”

“The organization makes its documents available upon request.”
