Officers, directors, trustees, and key employees are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest on an annual basis. The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with this policy to ensure transparency and integrity. The specific process for monitoring and enforcing compliance is detailed in Schedule O.”

“Compensation Determination Process The compensation for the key staff and contractors of the organization was determined through a collaborative process involving the executive directors and the Board of Directors. Two executive directors mutually agreed upon equal compensation for all staff, regardless of role. The Board then reviewed and approved the compensation structure to ensure alignment with the organization's financial capabilities and budget. The process included the following steps: Independent Review: Compensation rates for contractors were reviewed internally by the two executive directors. Comparable Data: Averages of compensation rates for contractors working in local nonprofit organizations providing social services were considered. Budget Review: The organization's budget and financial constraints were taken into account to ensure the compensation was fair and feasible. Board Approval: The approved compensation structure, including hourly rates and flat-rate project roles, was documented in the Board meeting minutes and incorporated into the budget. This process ensured that the compensation rates were fair, competitive, and aligned with the organization's financial situation.”
