As a non-profit organization, you put your trust in us to add value to society, and we pledge to do so. The following are some of the many practices we employ to help keep us accountable.
Ethical Integrity Our staff and board know that even the appearance of wrong-doing can destroy public trust. We adhere to a strict standard by which no individual may inappropriately benefit from his or her affiliation with the organization.
All board members and senior staff members sign a disclosure statement each year verifying that they have no known conflicts of interest with their service as an employee or board member of JNPA.
Financial Integrity Each year our board of directors contracts with an external firm to conduct and complete a thorough audit of the organization's finances.
Whistleblower Protection Our board has adopted a "Whistleblower Policy" that encourages the reporting of suspected misconduct or financial irregularities. In addition to internal points of contact, reports can be filed anonymously via a confidential third-party hotline thus encouraging reporting and deterring wrongdoing.
Public Information File In compliance with federal law, the organization freely makes available organization tax filings upon request. Any such requests, directed to the organization's Vice President & CFO, are fulfilled in a timely manner.
Mission JNPA provides quality educational products and related services that enrich public understanding and appreciation of America's national parks, public lands, and historic places.
