Disclosures<\/h2>\n To limit the potential influence of conflicts of interest (COIs) involving the Movement Grants review committee members and applicants, we followed ACE\u2019s COI Policy.<\/p>\n
In accordance with this policy, no ACE staff or Board members participated in the review or decision-making process in cases where a real or perceived conflict of interest existed. Where potential COIs were identified, additional steps were taken by ACE to mitigate the risk that individuals associated with ACE would benefit from the grants. For transparency, the following potential COIs were identified:<\/p>\n
\nVince Mak, an ACE employee, is an advisory board member for SHARED.<\/li>\n Elisabeth Ormandy, an ACE employee, engaged in leadership coaching with Reveal Impact.<\/li>\n Max Taylor, an ACE employee, volunteers for Sentient Futures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n
