Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	MEMBERS OF JFNA'S PROFESSIONAL STAFF SERVE A PUBLIC INTEREST ROLE AND HAVE A DUTY TO CONDUCT ALL AFFAIRS OF JFNA IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THIS CONCEPT. ALL DECISIONS MADE BY STAFF ARE TO BE MADE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF A DESIRE TO PROMOTE THE BEST INTERESTS OF JFNA AND THE PUBLIC GOOD. THIS POLICY IS INTENDED TO CLEARLY ESTABLISH JFNA'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WITH REGARD TO ACTIVITIES ENGAGED IN BY MEMBERS OF THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. JFNA'S IN-HOUSE COUNSEL, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND HEAD OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT WILL MONITOR COMPLIANCE WITH THIS POLICY. ADMINISTRATION OF THIS POLICY WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CEO/PRESIDENT OR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND JFNA'S OUTSIDE COUNSEL. A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" MAY EXIST WHENEVER THE PERSONAL INTERESTS OF A JFNA EMPLOYEE INTERFERE - OR HAVE THE APPEARANCE THAT THEY MIGHT POTENTIALLY INTERFERE - IN ANY WAY WITH THE INTERESTS OF JFNA. A CONFLICT MAY EXIST WHEN AN EMPLOYEE TAKES ACTIONS OR HAS BUSINESS INTERESTS THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO PERFORM HIS OR HER WORK OBJECTIVELY AND EFFECTIVELY. CONFLICTS MAY ALSO ARISE WHEN AN EMPLOYEE OR A MEMBER OF HIS OR HER FAMILY RECEIVES AN IMPROPER PERSONAL BENEFIT AS A RESULT OF THE EMPLOYEE'S POSITION IN JFNA, WHETHER RECEIVED FROM JFNA OR A THIRD PARTY. PROFESSIONAL STAFF MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO AVOID ALL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST UNLESS THEY RECEIVE PRIOR APPROVAL IN WRITING FROM THE CEO/PRESIDENT (OR ANY COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD ENTRUSTED WITH THE OVERSIGHT OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST), WHO WILL CONFER WITH JFNA'S OUTSIDE COUNSEL, BOTH OF WHOM SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS POLICY. ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SPECIFY EVERY ACTION THAT MIGHT CREATE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THIS POLICY SETS FORTH THE ONES THAT MOST FREQUENTLY PRESENT PROBLEMS. THE POTENTIAL FOR A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS WHEN JFNA'S EMPLOYEES OR MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES: 1. HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN, BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH, OR INDEBTEDNESS TO AN ENTITY WITH WHICH THEY DO OR SEEK BUSINESS ON BEHALF OF JFNA; 2. ACCEPT PAYMENTS, LOANS, SERVICES, OR GIFTS FROM ANYONE DOING OR SEEKING TO DO BUSINESS WITH JFNA; 3. ARE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, PARTNERS, INFLUENTIAL EMPLOYEES OR CONSULTANTS TO ANY ORGANIZATION DOING OR SEEKING TO DO BUSINESS WITH JFNA; OR 4. ENGAGE IN CONDUCT WHICH IS ADVERSE OR HARMFUL TO THE POLICIES, PURPOSES AND GOALS OF JFNA. JFNA'S LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF, HOLD POSITIONS OF TRUST TO DONORS AND OUR BENEFICIARIES. MOREOVER, CHARITIES SERVE A PUBLIC INTEREST AND JFNA HOLDS A POSITION OF SPECIAL PROMINENCE AMONG AMERICAN CHARITIES. TO PRESERVE THIS TRUST, JFNA MUST PRESUME THAT TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT AT ARMS-LENGTH WHEN THEY ARE BETWEEN PERSONS WHOSE RELATIONSHIP MAY SUGGEST A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AND TO PROTECT JFNA FROM THE TAINT OF IMPROPRIETY, ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED, WE WILL SUBJECT SUCH TRANSACTIONS TO A CLOSER SCRUTINY AND MORE RIGOROUS OVERSIGHT THAN WOULD OTHERWISE APPLY TO OTHER TRANSACTIONS. SCOPE THIS POLICY APPLIES TO ALL EMPLOYEES INVOLVED IN CONTRACTING FOR GOODS OR SERVICES ON BEHALF OF JFNA AND TO ALL PROFESSIONAL STAFF. DISCLOSURE MEMBERS OF THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF SHALL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN INITIAL AND, THEREAFTER, ANNUAL STATEMENT ATTESTING: * THAT THEY HAVE READ AND ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE POLICY; * THAT NEITHER THEY, NOR TO THE BEST OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, HAVE IN THE PAST ENGAGED, ARE PRESENTLY ENGAGING, OR PLAN TO ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIVITY THAT CONTRAVENES THIS POLICY.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 13	INTRODUCTION IN 2014, THE JEWISH FEDERATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPTED THIS UPDATED "WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY" WHICH SETS FORTH (1) CERTAIN SPECIFIC ACTIONS THAT ARE EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED AND (2) PROCEDURES THAT JFNA TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS ("COVERED PERSONS") MAY FOLLOW TO REPORT MISCONDUCT. THIS POLICY APPLIES TO COVERED PERSONS, AND SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED TO ALL JFNA TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND TO VOLUNTEERS WHO PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL SERVICES. PROHIBITED ACTIONS COMMISSION OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTS WILL BE CONSIDERED CAUSE FOR IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND/OR REMOVAL FROM OFFICE OR APPOINTMENT, AND MAY ALSO SUBJECT THE OFFENDER TO CIVIL OR CRIMINAL LIABILITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW: 1. DISCHARGING, DEMOTING, SUSPENDING, THREATENING, HARASSING, DISCRIMINATING OR RETALIATING IN ANY MANNER AGAINST ANY COVERED PERSON, BECAUSE OF ANY LAWFUL ACT BY THAT COVERED PERSON: A) TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO OR ASSIST IN ANY INVESTIGATION BY JFNA OR BY CONGRESS OR BY ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR CITY AGENCY; B) TO FILE OR ASSIST IN ANY ACTION ALLEGING A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL OR STATE LAW OR REGULATION. 2. KNOWINGLY TAKING ANY ACTION HARMFUL TO ANY PERSON FOR PROVIDING TRUTHFUL INFORMATION TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER RELATING TO A POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF LAW OR REGULATION. 3. INTENTIONALLY DESTROYING, ALTERING, MUTILATING, CONCEALING, COVERING UP, FALSIFYING, AND/OR MAKING A FALSE ENTRY IN ANY RECORDS THAT MAY BE CONNECTED TO A MATTER WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT OR AGENCY, IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL OR STATE LAW OR REGULATION. 4. INTENTIONALLY ALTERING, DESTROYING OR CONCEALING A DOCUMENT, OR ATTEMPTING TO DO SO, WITH THE INTENT TO IMPAIR THE DOCUMENT'S AVAILABILITY FOR USE IN AN OFFICIAL PROCEEDING OR OTHERWISE OBSTRUCTING, INFLUENCING OR IMPEDING ANY OFFICIAL PROCEEDING, IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL OR STATE LAW OR REGULATION. 5. FRAUDULENTLY INFLUENCING, COERCING, MANIPULATING, OR MISLEADING ANY INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT ENGAGED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF AN AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF JFNA FOR THE PURPOSE OF RENDERING SUCH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FALSE OR MISLEADING. REPORTING OF CONCERNS OR COMPLAINTS JFNA IS COMMITTED TO TAKING ACTION TO PREVENT MISCONDUCT, INCLUDING FRAUD, VIOLATIONS OF LAW, VIOLATIONS OF JFNA POLICY, AND IMPROPER ACCOUNTING OR AUDIT PRACTICES ("MISCONDUCT"). COVERED PERSONS SHOULD PROMPTLY COME FORWARD AND REPORT ANY INSTANCES IN WHICH THEY BECOME AWARE OF MISCONDUCT OR POTENTIAL MISCONDUCT, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE IDENTITY OR POSITION OF A SUSPECTED OFFENDER. FOR THIS PURPOSE, AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN HIRED TO RECEIVE COMPLAINTS OF SUSPECTED MISCONDUCT. JFNA'S COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING FROM RETALIATION COVERED PERSONS WHO IN GOOD FAITH REPORT SUSPECTED MISCONDUCT HAS BEEN DELEGATED JOINTLY TO THE GENERAL COUNSEL AND HEAD OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT. THEY WILL ADMINISTER THE WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY AND REPORT TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. HOW TO REPORT CONCERNS OR COMPLAINTS COVERED PERSONS MAY COMMUNICATE SUSPECTED MISCONDUCT BY CALLING THE TOLL-FREE TELEPHONE NUMBER (800) 482-3920 IN THE US OR CANADA OR, IN ISRAEL, FROM AN OUTSIDE LINE DIAL 1(800) 94-94-949; A VOICE PROMPT WILL THEN ASSIST THE CALLER IN DIALING THE TOLL-FREE NUMBER. ANOTHER OPTION IS TO MAKE A REPORT USING THE FOLLOWING CONFIDENTIAL WEBSITE: HTTPS://SECURE.ETHICSPOINT.COM/DOMAIN/EN/REPORT_CUSTOM.ASP?CLIENTID=13985. BOTH THE TELEPHONE NUMBER AND THE WEBSITE ARE PUBLISHED FOR INTERNAL USE AND ARE HOSTED BY "ETHICSPOINT," AN INDEPENDENT PRIVATE ORGANIZATION WHICH IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH JFNA AND WHICH PROVIDES A CONFIDENTIAL WAY FOR COVERED PERSONS TO REPORT SUSPECTED MISCONDUCT. IN ORDER TO BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO RESPOND TO ANY INFORMATION OR COMPLAINT, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE CALLER IDENTIFIES HIM OR HERSELF AND PROVIDES THEIR TELEPHONE NUMBER AND OTHER CONTACT INFORMATION WHEN MAKING THE REPORT. COVERED PERSONS MAY BE ASSURED THAT ALL INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED IN UTMOST CONFIDENCE. HOWEVER, IF ANONYMITY IS PREFERRED, IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT ONE'S NAME OR POSITION BE DISCLOSED AND CALLER ID WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED ON THE LINE. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IDENTIFICATION IS GIVEN, PLEASE PROVIDE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE SO AS TO ENABLE A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, INCLUDING WHERE AND WHEN THE ACT OR INCIDENT OCCURRED, NAMES AND TITLES OF THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED, AND ANY OTHER AVAILABLE DETAILS. A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHAT TO REPORT ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING MATTERS THE UNETHICAL SYSTEMATIC RECORDING AND ANALYSIS OF JFNA'S BUSINESS AND/OR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE MISSTATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS, EXPENSES, ASSETS AND/OR MISAPPLICATIONS OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND WRONGFUL TRANSACTIONS. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST A SITUATION IN WHICH A COVERED PERSON HAS A PRIVATE OR PERSONAL INTEREST SUFFICIENT TO APPEAR TO INFLUENCE THE OBJECTIVE EXERCISE OF HIS/HER OFFICIAL DUTIES. AN EXAMPLE IS IF JFNA HAS ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT FOR A COMPANY'S SERVICES AND A COVERED PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENGAGEMENT HAS FAILED TO INFORM JFNA THAT HE OR SHE HAS A RELATIVE WHO IS A PRINCIPAL IN THAT COMPANY. FALSIFICATION OF CONTRACTS, REPORTS OR RECORDS THIS CONSISTS OF ALTERING, FABRICATING, FALSIFYING OR FORGING ALL OR ANY PART OF A DOCUMENT, CONTRACT OR RECORD FOR THE PURPOSE OF GAINING AN ADVANTAGE OR MISREPRESENTING THE VALUE OF THE DOCUMENT, CONTRACT OR RECORDS. VIOLATION OF LAW ANY VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW. THE EXAMPLES SET FORTH ABOVE DO NOT LIMIT THE DEFINITION OF MISCONDUCT. BAD FAITH ANY ALLEGATIONS THAT PROVE NOT TO BE SUBSTANTIATED AND TO HAVE BEEN MADE MALICIOUSLY OR IN BAD FAITH WILL BE VIEWED AS A SERIOUS OFFENSE AND COULD SUBJECT THE COVERED PERSON TO DISCIPLINE UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION FROM EMPLOYMENT AND/OR REMOVAL FROM OFFICE OR APPOINTMENT. CONFIDENTIALITY JFNA WILL TREAT ALL COMMUNICATIONS UNDER THIS POLICY IN A CONFIDENTIAL MANNER, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY (1) TO CONDUCT A COMPLETE AND FAIR INVESTIGATION, (2) AS REQUIRED BY LAW, OR (3) FOR REVIEW OF JFNA OPERATIONS BY JFNA'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ITS AUDIT COMMITTEE, ITS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AND JFNA'S INSIDE AND OUTSIDE COUNSEL.
