(3) Donate or render gratuitously a substantial portion of its services, defined as:

(B) Publishing this policy on its website in an easily accessible location.
(4) Not base compensation, including benefits, of any director, officer, or employee primarily upon the financial performance of the institution.

These contributions shall add up to no less than 50 percent of the actual value given from the municipality under this chapter.
