In determining compensation, the Board reviews available comparability data, including compensation surveys and data from similar nonprofit programs, national professional organizations for TRIO programs, state nonprofit associations, and other similarly situated organizations and positions. Compensation decisions are reviewed and approved by independent members of the Board, and the deliberation and decision are contemporaneously documented in the Foundation's board minutes or other organizational records. If a director, principal officer, committee member with governing-board-delegated authority, or other person involved in governance has an actual or potential conflict of interest related to a compensation arrangement, the Foundation follows its written conflict of interest policy. Each such person annually signs a statement affirming that they have received, read, understand, and agree to comply with the conflict of interest policy, and that they understand the Foundation is charitable and must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more tax-exempt purposes. When a possible conflict exists, the conflicted person may present information to the Board or committee regarding the matter. After the presentation, the conflicted person leaves the meeting during the discussion of, and vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. Only disinterested members participate in the deliberation and approval of the compensation decision. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Upon request.
