Directors annually disclose financial and familial interests. Recusal is required whenever a personal interest could influence a grant, contract, or hiring decision. Disclosures are retained with corporate minutes.
Staff, volunteers, and contractors may report suspected misuse of funds or ethical breaches to the board without fear of retaliation. Reports can be sent confidentially to admin@impabenevolent.org.
As a Form 990-N filer with modest gross receipts, we maintain internal financial controls and board review of expenditures. Independent review engagements are commissioned when activity levels warrant additional assurance.
