Meals on Wheels of San Francisco Inc

“The finance committee reviews and approves form 990 and provides a public disclosure copy to all board members prior to filing with the irs.”

“All meals on wheels of san francisco (mowsf) representatives have an obligation to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict between their personal interests and those of mowsf in dealing with outside entities or individuals; to disclose real and apparent conflicts of interest to the executive director and when involving board members to the president of the board; to refrain from participation in any decisions on matters that involve a real conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict. The policy must be ratified annually by the board of directors.”

“The compensation of the executive director is determined by the board of directors. The current executive director was hired in 2007 and a complete survey of compensation/benefits was completed by the search firm that conducted the search. Based on their professional review and recommendation, the board determined the compensation of the executive director to reflect best practices in the field. The compensation was reflective of mowsf compensation history. The executive director is evaluated by the board and receives the same consideration for compensation that all mowsf employees receive. Periodically, mowsf conducts a salary review of all classifications of employees based on a comparison of job functions and review of at least five similar non-profit organizations in san francisco. In addition, mowsf compares its compensation and benefits policies to comparable positions for city & county of san francisco departments--specifically the human services agency/department of aging and adult services. If it is determined that mowsf compensation/benefit packages are not competitive, the organization has and may make one-time adjustments to bring the agency's compensation/benefits into alignment. All employeees receive an annual performance evaluation and, when possible, receive merit-pay or cost-of-living adjustments determined by the board of directors as part of the organization's annual budget process. Mowsf does not discriminate in giving unique compensation for any classification of employee.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“The organization did not change its oversight process or selection process during the tax year.”
