Sample Conflict of Interest Policy
This is not an approved policy
The standard of behavior at the ____ Organization is that all
staff, volunteers, and board members scrupulously avoid conflicts
of interest between the interests of the ____ Organization on one
hand, and personal, professional, and business interests on the
other. This includes avoiding potential and actual conflicts of
interest, as well as perceptions of conflicts of interest.
I understand that the purposes of this policy are to protect the
integrity of the ____ Organization's decision-making process, to
enable our constituencies to have confidence in our integrity,
and to protect the integrity and reputations of volunteers, staff
and board members. Upon or before election, hiring or
appointment, I will make a full, written disclosure of interests,
relationships, and holdings that could potentially result in a
conflict of interest. This written disclosure will be kept on
file and I will update it as appropriate.
In the course of meetings or activities, I will disclose any
interests in a transaction or decision where I (including my
business or other nonprofit affiliations), my family and/or my
significant other, employer, or close associates will receive a
benefit or gain. After disclosure, I understand that I will be
asked to leave the room for the discussion and will not be
permitted to vote on the question.
I understand that this policy is meant to supplement good
judgment, and I will respect its spirit as well as its wording.
