CFAR Policies and Transparency

The Center for Agricultural Resilience (CFAR) is committed to operating with honesty, accountability, and openness in all areas of our work. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching and advancing regenerative agriculture, we believe that transparency builds the trust that makes our mission possible. The following policies guide our governance, financial management, and donor relationships, reflecting our commitment to ethical practices, responsible stewardship, and public accountability.

 

Conflict of Interest Policy

CFAR’s board, staff, and key partners are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest each year to ensure that decisions are made solely in the best interest of the organization and its mission.

 

Whistleblower Policy

We encourage anyone connected to CFAR to report unethical behavior or policy violations without fear of retaliation. This policy protects individuals who raise concerns in good faith.

 

Document Retention and Destruction Policy

CFAR maintains and securely stores its records for the periods required by law. This policy ensures transparency, accuracy, and proper destruction of documents when appropriate.

 

Donor Privacy Policy

CFAR respects the privacy of our donors and never sells or shares personal information. Donor data is used only for acknowledgment and communication purposes, and anonymity is honored upon request.

 

Financial Transparency Statement

We publish our IRS Form 990s, financial statements, and board roster to ensure full transparency about how funds are used to support CFAR’s mission.

 

Code of Ethics and Values Statement

Our work is grounded in integrity, accountability, respect, sustainability, and education. These values guide every decision we make as we teach and model regenerative practices.
