Background

It has been determined by the Finance Committee that our fiscal policies are lacking any privacy protection for our donors. Therefore we are offering this revision of our fiscal policies in our Rules, Policies and Procedures to afford some level of confidentially to our donors. Current policies with revisions are as follows:
5. FISCAL POLICY (118)
INTRODUCTION
These fiscal policies are intended to make possible a higher level of Green political activity, while safeguarding the independence of the Green Party, the autonomy of its member parties, and the accountability of its political and fiscal officers.
INCOME
Individuals: Contributions from individuals will be accepted in amounts as permitted by law and all excess contributions will be returned. The names [delete: of all individuals contributors will be in the public domain.] and information for donors will be available to state parties upon written request by the states’ delegates or treasurer.
Organizations: No contributions will be accepted from political action committees (PACs) without the express authorization of the National Committee. Grants or contributions from foundations or other non-profit organizations will be accepted up to a limit of $2000 per year per grantor.
No contributions will be accepted from for-profit corporations.
The Treasurers annual report to the National Committee will partially consist of the most recent Federal Elections Commission report which is viewable in the public domain [delete: and includes details on contributions by category as well as the names and addresses of all contributing parties, individuals, and organizations.]
