Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11The Organizations Form 990 was prepared by its Chief Financial Officer and reviewed by other management and the Board of Directors before filing.
Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12cIn connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existance of the financial interest and be given an opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.

Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall sign annually a statement which affirms such person: has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to the policy, and understands the Foundation is charitable and in order to maintain its Federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax exempt purposes.
Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request.
General explanation attachmentForm 990, Part III, Line 1 (continued) Aurora is rooted in the events of the Armenian Genocide one hundred years ago and the enhancement of its position in the worlds memory. We will uncover and tell stories of survival and humanity that transpired during the Genocide. In addition, the goal of the Organization is to generate global and local conversations about gratitude; about survivors and saviors from any time and from any place around the world; and about on the ground humanitarian projects that make a lasting difference.
