Implementation of Internal Policies and Controls:
To support the principles outlined in our Code of Ethics, we will implement the following internal policies and controls:
-
Conflict of Interest Policy: We will establish a conflict of interest policy that requires employees and board members to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest, and to recuse themselves from decision-making when necessary.
-
Whistleblower Policy: We will establish a whistleblower policy that encourages employees to report any suspected violations of our Code of Ethics or other policies, without fear of retaliation.
-
Financial Controls: We will implement financial controls that include regular audits, separation of duties, and review of financial transactions by multiple individuals.
-
Donor Privacy Policy: We will establish a donor privacy policy that outlines how we collect, use, and protect donor information, and will obtain consent from donors before sharing their information with third parties.
-
Employee Code of Conduct: We will establish an employee code of conduct that outlines our expectations for ethical behavior, and will provide training and resources to support compliance with our Code of Ethics and other policies.
By implementing these policies and controls, we will demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all of our activities.
