This extended period allows for thorough scrutiny of every aspect of our financial activities, ensuring transparency and accountability. Following the board review, the executive director assumes responsibility for completing the Form 990. As a key figure in the organization, the executive director leverages their expertise and understanding of our operations to accurately fill out the form.

Part VI, Line 12c Our organization maintains a robust conflict of interest policy designed to safeguard our nonprofit's interests when considering transactions or arrangements that may benefit individuals with a direct or indirect financial interest. The following description outlines our practices for monitoring proposed or ongoing transactions for conflicts of interest and addresses the procedures for dealing with potential or actual conflicts, both before and after the transaction has occurred. Persons Covered Under the Policy: The policy applies to any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers who has a direct or indirect financial interest in a transaction or arrangement with the organization. Determinations of Conflict Existence: Upon disclosure of a financial interest, the interested person must provide all material facts to the governing board or committee considering the proposed transaction. The board or committee then discusses and votes on whether a conflict of interest exists. The interested person leaves the meeting during this discussion and vote. Review of Actual Conflicts: If a conflict of interest is determined, the interested person may present but must leave the meeting during discussions and voting on the transaction. The governing board or committee may appoint a disinterested person or committee to explore alternative arrangements. If a conflict-free arrangement is not feasible, a majority vote of disinterested directors determines whether the transaction is in the organization's best interest. Restrictions Imposed on Persons with Conflicts: Any voting member of the governing board receiving compensation from the organization for services is prohibited from voting on matters concerning their compensation. Record of Proceedings: Minutes of governing board and committee meetings document all disclosures of financial interests, discussions regarding conflicts of interest, and decisions made regarding transactions or arrangements. This ensures transparency and accountability in our conflict of interest procedures. Compliance and Enforcement: The policy includes provisions for addressing violations, including informing the member of the basis for the belief of non-disclosure, providing an opportunity to explain, and taking appropriate disciplinary and corrective action if necessary. In summary, our conflict of interest policy ensures that transactions and arrangements are conducted with the utmost integrity, transparency, and in the best interests of our organization. It establishes clear procedures for disclosing, evaluating, and addressing conflicts of interest, thereby upholding our commitment to ethical governance and fiduciary responsibility. Should you require further details or clarification on our conflict of interest policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
