CHARITY RESPONSE TO REVIEW:
This review is provided in the interest of demonstrating our own accountability and transparency. The Council holds itself to the same standards as those applied to other nonprofits. We disclose the inherent conflict of interest in verifying our own responses. But we take pains to model accountability and transparency and believe participation in our own process is one way to do so. Thus we recognize the limits of this review in terms of objectivity. Please review our financial statements as reviewed by an independent external auditor for more information. If you would like more detail of how the Council actually met a particular standard, please feel free to call or email Paul Verrette, Accountability Program Manager at (651)224-7030, ext. 17, pverrette@smartgivers.org. | | | NON-CASH DONATIONS
