Transparency Governance & Public Records
Our True North
At Wheelable Wilderness, our policies are more than just rules—they are our promise to you. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards to ensure that every donation, every hour of labor, and every resource goes exactly where it belongs: directly into the hands of our community. We believe in doing things the right way so that we can keep the wilderness open for everyone.
Conflict of Interest Policy
This policy prevents personal interests from influencing organizational decisions. It protects our integrity by ensuring all board actions prioritize our mission over individual gain.
Equipment Rental Terms and Agreements
Legally binding contract that outlines the rules, responsibilities, and safety requirements for borrowing specialized gear. It protects the organization by establishing liability waivers while ensuring the borrower understands how to properly care for the equipment and the timeline for its return.
Data Protection Policy
Formal set of rules that outlines how an organization collects, stores, and manages personal information to ensure it remains private and secure. It establishes clear protocols for preventing unauthorized access and ensures the organization remains in compliance with legal privacy standards. Essentially, it serves as a commitment to participants and donors that their sensitive data will be handled with integrity and care.
Articles Of Incorporation
Formal legal document filed with a state government to officially create a new corporation. It acts as the organization's "birth certificate," establishing its legal name, business purpose, registered agent, and the names of the individuals forming the entity. For a nonprofit, this document is essential for defining its charitable mission and securing the legal structure necessary to apply for tax-exempt status.
Bylaws
Set of internal rules and procedures that govern how an organization is managed and how its Board of Directors operates. They define critical details such as the frequency of meetings, the voting process for decision-making, and the specific duties assigned to each officer. Think of them as the "operating manual" that ensures the nonprofit remains organized, accountable, and legally compliant.
Equipment Sanitization Standard Operating Procedure
Step-by-step guide that ensures all adaptive gear is cleaned and disinfected to a professional, medical-grade standard. It establishes a repeatable "Purity Protocol" to protect participants—especially those with high health sensitivities—from germs and allergens, ensuring every piece of equipment is safe for immediate use. By documenting specific products and procedures, it creates a culture of accountability and trust within the organization's operations.
