Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review ProcessREVIEWED BY PRESIDENT BEFORE FILING.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of ConflictsThe Conflict of Interest policy addresses transactions and arrangements involving the Foundation's directors, officers, members of any committee of the Foundation's Board of Directors that has authority to act on behalf of the Board of Directors, and those Foundation employees who may be designated by the Foundation's President ("Covered Persons"). No Covered Person may engage in any transaction or arrangement or undertake positions with other organizations that involve a conflict of interest, except in compliance with this Policy. Covered Persons should avoid both actual conflicts and the appearance of conflicts of interest. Every Covered Person shall: (i)Disclose all actual and potential conflicts as set out below; and(ii)Recuse himself/herself from voting on any transaction or arrangement in which he/she has a potential or actual conflict of interest, and shall not be present during final deliberations prior to the vote and when any such vote is taken.Every Covered Person shall sign a statement that affirms that he or she has received a copy of this policy, has read and understands it, and has agreed to comply with it, and shall complete an annual questionnaire disclosing his or her actual and potential conflicts of interest.PERIODIC REVIEWTo ensure the Foundation operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, period reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects: (a) whether the compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining; and (b) whether the partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the Foundation's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction.ENFORCEMENTEach Covered Person shall promptly and fully disclose all material facts of every actual or potential conflict of interest: (i)Existing at the time when he/she becomes a Covered Person;(ii)That arises while he/she is a Covered Person, at the time such actual or potential conflict arises; and(iii)Annually through the annual Conflict of Interest Questionnaire.The President shall disclose to the Board of Directors all conflicts of interest reported to him or her under this Policy.
