IWCF CORE MEMBERSHIP POLICIES
As a renewing member, you agree to the following:
Membership Conflict of Interest Policy
It is understood that many members of IWCF have been or are currently employed by nonprofit organizations, involved in civic activities and/or are current or former members of other charitable organizations. IWCF is a richer organization because of its members’ connections to the community we serve. Members also often have ties through employment, ownership interest or family ties to businesses that IWCF may contract for services. When a member is involved with the grants process and/or is working on an IWCF committee that is contemplating contracting services with an outside vendor(s), the member shall identify to the chair of the relevant committee any current or prior ties to a grant-seeking charitable organization or to a business vendor that could present a conflict of interest or may have the appearance of a potential conflict of interest. The disclosure shall be made as soon as a conflict or potential conflict is identified by the member.
Each member shall refrain from using the list of members for personal or private solicitation purposes. Specific inappropriate actions include:
Openly soliciting business of IWCF board and/or community members under the guise of being endorsed by IWCF;
Distributing business cards at functions as a direct solicitation for personal business;
Using the membership directory or member rosters for business solicitation or for mass mailings for unrelated activities.
Photo Permission: We assume permission to take and use photos of members. If you prefer to opt out, please email our staff: membershipcoordinator@IWCFgives.org.
