| Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 | Prior to filing, the Organizations Form 990 was prepared by a contracted CPA, distributed to and reviewed by management staff and members of the Finance and Governance Committee. |
| Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12c | Staff and members of the Board of Directors discuss at least annually the duty of loyalty to the Organization and possible or actual conflicts of interest, and are reminded of the duty to report any significant changes with respect to conflicts when they arise. Staff and Board members are asked to review and acknowledge the Organizations conflicts policy and to bring any questions or concerns to any member of the Finance and Governance Committee or the Board. Officers, Board members and staff are required to disclose conflicts of interest by completing and signing a disclosure form. These forms and any conflicts reports are reviewed by the Finance and Governance Committee and/or the Board, and action is taken as needed under the Organizations conflicts policy. |
| Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19 | The Organizations governing documents, conflicts of interest policy, and financial information are available to the public during the tax year upon written request. |
| Cessation of or significant change to any program service Part III line 3 | In 2020, the Organization was forced to suspend two of its four normal markets, Wednesday Market at Kaiser Hospital and Thursday Market at Tuality Hospital (now OHSU Hillsboro Medical Center), due to government COVID-19 restrictions and the hospitals own operations committees. When, after a significant delay, the City of Hillsboro permitted the Organizations remaining two farmers markets to open in 2020, certain modifications were made in order to comply with pandemic-related restrictions, including the elimination of the Market Kitchen program. This was an educational service to the community. It is expected that Market Kitchen and other suspended programs/markets will be reinstated by 2022. |
