Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Healing with Horses Ranch has a Conflict of Interest Policy and Annual Statement for Directors and Officers and Members of a Committee with Board-Delegated Power. Article I -- Purpose 1. The purpose of this Board conflict of interest policy is to protect HEALING WITH HORSES RANCH's interests when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interests of an officer or director of HEALING WITH HORSES RANCH or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. 2. This policy is intended to supplement, but not replace, any applicable state and federal laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations. 1. Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with Board delegated powers annually signs a statement which affirms that they: a. received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, b. read and understands the policy, C. and agrees to comply with the policy. If at any time during the year, the information in the annual statement changes materially, the director shall disclose such changes and revise the annual disclosure form. The Executive Committee shall regularly and consistently monitor and enforce compliance with this policy by reviewing annual statements and taking such other actions as are necessary for effective oversight. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 An Annual and Hourly Pay Scale for employees was created in 2013 and reviewed annually. It was created by obtaining comparable compensations from other Therapeutic Riding Centers in Texas. Anyone that has a conflict of interest does not participate in the voting and will leave the meeting during the vote. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All governing documents are available upon request. Additionally, they are maintained on the Guidestar website. All financials are on the Healing with Horses Ranch website in our Annual Report. We had some numbers that were off and needed a little extra time. We did file for an extension and it was accepted
