FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12 Each officer, director, trustee and key employee of the organization is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of their employment, board service, or position with the organization. The organization monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual questionnaire/disclosure statement that is distributed to these individuals. The President has the authority to monitor the conflicts of interest questionnaires and report the findings to the Board of Directors. Conflicts, when they arise, are investigated immediately.

AFHU holds marketable securities with an approximate value of $5,686,000 in a non-pooled endowment fund which is under the control of the donor and Board member, Stanley Bogen. The Organization does not pay any investment management fees to the board member's firm; accordingly this transaction does not need to be disclosed on Form 990, Schedule L.

Board member, Richard Ziman, is a principal with the real estate investment company. Afhu has an interest in a private equity investment with an approximate value of $3,492,158, of which a regional board member, Ken Abramowitz is a principal. AFHU did not pay any consulting fees to either fund and therefore AFHU maintains that both Mr. Ziman and Mr. Abramowitz retain their independence.
