 Exhibit B
Conflict of Interest Policy

Article I. Purpose.
The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect this tax-exempt organization's
(Organization) interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that
might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the Organization or might result in a
possible excess benefit transaction. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any
applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and
charitable organizations.

Article H. Definitions
1.Interested Person. Any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with
governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined
below, is an interested person.
2. Financial Interest. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or
indirectly, through business, investment, or family: - -
- a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Organization has a
transaction or arrangement,
b. A compensation arrangement with the Organization or with any entity or individual
with which the Organization has a transaction or arrangement, or
c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with,
any entity or individual with which the Organization is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.
Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are
not insubstantial. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under Article III,
Section 2, a person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the
appropriate governing board or committee decides that a conflict of interest exists.

Article III. Procedures

1. Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an
interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the
opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with
governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.
2. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists. After disclosure of the financial
interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall
leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest
is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a
conflict of interest exists.
3. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest
 a. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee
meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and
the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest.
b. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a
disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or
arrangement.
c. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine
whether the Organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or
arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.
d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under
circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall
determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or
arrangement is in the Organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and
reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to
enter into the transaction or arrangement.
4. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy
a. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has
failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis
for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.
b. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as
warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has
failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary
and corrective action.

Article IV. Records of Proceedings.

The minutes of the governing board and all committees with board delegated powers
shall contain:
a. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial
interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial
interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the
governing board's or committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed.
b. The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the
transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the
proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the
proceedings.

Article V. Compensation
a. A voting member of the governing board who receives compensation, directly or
indirectly, from the Organization for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to
that member's compensation.
 b. A voting member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters
and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Organization for services is
precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member's compensation.
c. No voting member of the governing board or any committee whose jurisdiction
includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the
Organization, either individually or collectively, is prohibited from providing information to any
committee regarding compensation.

Article VI. Annual Statements.

Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board
delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person:
a. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy,
b. Has read and understands the policy,
c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, and
d. Understands the Organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax
exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt
purposes.

Article VII. Periodic Reviews.

To ensure the Organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and
does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews shall be
conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects:
a. Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent
survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining.
b. Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management
organizations conform to the Organization's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect
reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not
result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction.

Article VIII. Use of Outside Experts

When conducting the periodic reviews as provided for in Article VII, the Organization
may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the
governing board of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted.

APPLICATION FOR RECOGNITION OF EXEMPTION

Part IV: Narrative Description of Activities

The mission of Project Veritas is to investigate and expose corruption, dishonesty, self-
dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions in order to
achieve a more ethical and transparent society.
Project Veritas will engage in three primary activities: (1) Conducting investigations into
possible official corruption and misconduct; (2) Publicizing the results of our investigations; and
(3) Training citizen journalists to do conduct similar investigative journalism in their states and
communities. The first two primary activities are the direct means by which we will achieve our
exempt purpose, as described in the paragraph above. The third primary activity will leverage
our expertise to train others to conduct achieve our exempt purpose in their communities. Our
purpose is the discovery and exposition of true information so that society can function in a more
efficient, knowledgeable manner, and make decisions based on the most possible accurate
information.
- To date,- the organization has not conducted any program activities. Initially, our --
activities will be conducted by our founder or our executive director. As we raise funds, we
expect to hire additional staff. Our office is in Alexandria, Virginia. However, many of our
activities will take place in the country, depending on the project and on funding available. Our
activities will be funded by donations. We may charge a fee for our training sessions.
During the second half of this year, we expect to conduct three to six investigative
journalism projects, with each one taking one or two months to complete. We expect this to take
about 40% of our staff time. We will then publicize the results of these investigations, through a
website, press releases, press conferences and other media. The amount of time devoted to
publicizing the results will depend on the results, but we expect it will take about 20% of our
staff time. We also expect to conduct about 5 training sessions, in five different states. The first
one will be in September. The sessions are expected to be 2-3 day training sessions. We expect
developing the curriculum and conducting these initial trainings will take about 20% of our staff
time. We expect the remaining 20% of our staff time to be devoted to fund-raising and
administrative matters.

Part V.lb: Independent Contractors

The organization expects to hire independent contractors to provide assistance with
several functions, including website development and maintenance, public relations, fund-
raising, accounting and legal matters. Some of those independent contracts may be paid more
than $50,000 per year. However, the organization has not yet signed contracts with any
independent contracts and does not expect to do so before initial funds have been raised to pay
such contractors.

available, and based on performance, some employees may receive discretionary bonuses at
year-end.
With respect to independent contractors, the organization expects most such contracts to
provide for fixed compensation, but the organization may enter into agreements with
independent contractors for services and with outside fund-raisers to assist with fund-raising
under arrangements that may include non-fixed compensation and/or bonuses based on
performance.

Part VIII.4a. Fundraising

4a. Initially, fundraising efforts will be focused on major donors who express interest in
