Whistleblower Policy

The Whistleblower Policy provides a secure, confidential, and lawful mechanism for reporting suspected wrongdoing, while protecting individuals who report concerns in good faith from retaliation.

This policy applies to concerns involving, but not limited to:

• Fraud, theft, embezzlement, or misuse of charitable funds or assets
• Violations of federal, state, or local laws or regulations
• Violations of Corporation policies or ethical standards
• Gross mismanagement, abuse of authority, or unethical conduct

1. Reports may be made in writing, by email, or verbally to the President or Secretary of the Corporation.
2. If the concern involves the President, the report shall be submitted directly to the Board of Directors or the Chair of the Board.
3. Reports may be made anonymously; however, providing contact information may assist in the investigation.

The Corporation shall maintain confidentiality to the fullest extent permitted by law. Information will be shared only on a need-to-know basis to conduct a proper investigation.

1. All reports shall be promptly reviewed and investigated by the Board or a designated independent committee.
2. Investigations shall be conducted objectively, thoroughly, and in good faith.
3. Appropriate corrective or remedial actions shall be taken based on investigative findings.
