Kidango Inc.

“A program director of Kidango, Inc. is the son of a member of the Board of Directors. The board of directors is aware of this relationship and the board member involved is required to abstain from any activity that would have an actual or an appearance of conflict.”

“All information returns are reviewed and approved by the executive director and appropriate upper-level management employees before filed.”

“Annually each director, officer, employee and volunteer completes a disclosure form identifying any relationships, positions or circumstances in which s/he is involved that he or she believes could contribute to a Conflict of Interest.”

“The Executive Committee of the board each year reviews compensation for the Executive Director and top management. The Board uses the Northern California Compensation and Benefits Survey published by the Center for Nonprofit Management. In the last four years, salaries have been frozen for the most part by the Agency for all staff due to the lack of cost of living increase from the State of California on their child development and early intervention programs that are funded by the State with state funds and funds passed through the state from the Federal Government. All increases of compensation are recommended by the Executive Committee and must be approved by the full board. No members of the board are employed by Kidango, nor are they allowed to serve. No close relatives of the Board are hired by the agency due to the conflict of interest. Every five years an outside compensation consultant is hired to study salaries and the Board has traditionally tried to set average salaries about 100% of the median determined by the consultant study or the Northern California compensation and Benefits Survey. Due to the decline in the government reimbursement rates compared to inflation, salaries are generally 80% of market.”
