| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 13 | The Jewish Federations of North America's Board of Trustees adopted this "Whistleblower Policy" which sets forth procedures that JFNA/UIA trustees, officers, employees and volunteers ("Covered Persons") may follow to report alleged misconduct. This policy applies to Covered Persons, and shall be distributed to all JFNA/UIA trustees, officers, employees, and to volunteers. The objectives of this Whistleblower Policy are to encourage and enable Covered Persons, without fear of retaliation, to raise concerns regarding suspected violations of JFNA policies, unethical and/or illegal conduct or practices so that JFNA can address and correct inappropriate conduct and actions. REPORTING OF CONCERNS OR COMPLAINTS JFNA/UIA is committed to taking action to prevent misconduct, including fraud, violations of law, violations of JFNA/UIA policies, 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 and described herein, an outside organization has been authorized to receive complaints of suspected Misconduct. 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: www.ethicspoint.com. Both the telephone number and the website are hosted by "EthicsPoint," an independent private organization which is not affiliated with JFNA/UIA 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. 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 relevant details. Alternatively, employees may also raise concerns about suspected misconduct to JFNA/UIA's Executive Vice President and/or head of the Human Resources Department. A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHAT TO REPORT Accounting and Auditing Matters The improper systematic recording and analysis of JFNA/UIA'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/UIA has entered into a contract for a company's services and a Covered Person responsible for the engagement has failed to inform JFNA/UIA 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 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/UIA will treat all communications under this policy in a confidential manner to the extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct an adequate investigation. Any Covered Person raising a concern or complaint pursuant to this policy must be acting in good faith and have reasonable grounds for believing the information disclosed indicates Misconduct. NO RETALIATION No Covered Person who in good faith reports a concern regarding Misconduct shall suffer intimidation, harassment, retaliation, discrimination or adverse employment consequences because of such a report. Any Covered Person who retaliates against someone who has reported a concern of Misconduct in good faith is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment or their appointment (as applicable). JFNA/UIA'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. |
