Governing Policies

 

Flourishing Community is committed to transparency and adopting best practices throughout the organization. Our Board of Directors is composed of respected community leaders with a depth and breadth of experience and knowledge to oversee Flourishing Community’s governance. This governance has two primary areas of focus:

  1. Ensuring Flourishing Community is effectively and faithfully pursuing the charitable mission for which it was founded, and

  2. Ensuring the long-term viability of Flourishing Community so that it is able to pursue its charitable mission.

As a new body Flourishing Community’s Board of Directors have adopted bylaws that clearly state our mission, define the Board’s organization, its officers and authorities, set forth basic policies to ensure compliance with IRS regulations governing 501(c)3 exempt organizations, and regulate other aspects of operations.

In addition to these bylaws, the Board has adopted a formal conflict of interest policy (Read it here.) and keeps formal minutes of all meetings to document its decisions. During the first quarter of 2021, the Board will be working to draft and adopt formal policies that will address:

  1. Executive compensation

  2. Finances (including fundraising, investments, accounting practices, etc.)

  3. Document retention and destruction

  4. Whistleblower claims

As new policies are adopted, they will be linked here for public inspection.
