CEO Comments

One value adopted in our strategic planning process and listed above underlies all the others: accountability in the use of funds entrusted to us fiscal integrity. We receive funding from more than 50 different sources. Some are grants; some are contracts; each has its own set of requirements. In addition, more than 1,400 individuals and firms contribute to our annual fundraising campaign. They expect us to be good stewards of those funds.
 
The staff accountant prepares monthly financial reports that are sent to the Board. They consist of a balance sheet and a statement of revenues and expenses. The Executive Director discusses those reports in meetings with the Board and the Board Executive Committee. Those reports also are distributed to the managing attorneys and discussed at the monthly managing attorneys meetings. In order to ensure financial stability, the organization has built a fund balance over the years. At the beginning of 2004 it was $953,000, which is 19% of the annual budget. This means that we have some financial flexibility and that the loss of one grant does not mean we necessarily have to abandon a project or stop particular advocacy while we look for other funding.0
