Increasingly, nonprofits are adopting new governance procedures that more closely align with private sector laws on financial, public disclosure, and auditing practices.

The UN Foundation is dedicated to open, transparent governance, and carefully adheres to our good governance policies. These policies and procedures include:

• Board compensation and travel;
• Financial best practices;
• Partnership/donations;
• Conflict of interest;
• Code of ethics; and,
• Whistleblower policy.

These policies are consistent with the best practices outlined by the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector, an initiative of the nonprofit and philanthropics communities intended to ensure high standards of accountability and oversight. UN Foundation President Timothy E. Wirth was one of the 24 members of the panel.

In addition to our governance policies, the UN Foundation also makes available its IRS 990 forms and financial statements from our auditors for the past several years. To view this and other financial information, please click here.
