Less Whistleblower More This policy outlines procedures for handling employee complaints, as well as a confidential way for employees to report any financial mismanagement. Here we are reporting on the existence of a policy as reported by the charity on its Form Less Records Retention and Destruction More Such a policy establishes guidelines for handling, backing up, archiving and destruction of documents. These guidelines foster good record keeping procedures that promotes data integrity.

If the charity does not have a Records Retention and Destruction Policy, then we deduct 4 points from its Accountability and Transparency score. More This process indicates that the organization has a documented policy that it follows year after year. The policy should indicate that an objective and independent review process of the CEO's compensation has been conducted which includes benchmarking against comparable organizations.

We check to be sure that the charity has reported on its Form its process for determining its CEO pay. Less Donor Privacy More Donors have expressed extreme concern about the use of their personal information by charities and the desire to have this information kept confidential. Privacy policies are assigned to one of the following categories: Yes: This charity has a written donor privacy policy published on its website, which states unambiguously that 1 it will not share or sell a donor's personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations or 2 it will only share or sell personal information once the donor has given the charity specific permission to do so.

Opt-out: The charity has a written privacy policy published on its website which enables donors to tell the charity to remove their names and contact information from lists the charity shares or sells.

How a donor can have themselves removed from a list differs from one charity to the next, but any and all opt-out policies require donors to take specific action to protect their privacy.

No: This charity either does not have a written donor privacy policy in place to protect their contributors' personal information, or the existing policy does not meet our criteria. Transparency Charity Navigator looks to confirm on the Form , or for some metrics on the charity's website, that the organization makes this information easily accessible.

Our analysts check to be sure that the charities complied with the Form instructions and included this information in their filing. Less Board of Directors Listed on Website More Our analysts check to see if the charity lists Board members on its website. Publishing this information enables donors and other stakeholders to ascertain the make up of the charity's governing body.

This enables stakeholders to report concerns to the Board. Charity Navigator does not cross-check the Board members listed on the website with that reported on the Form , because the latter often isn't available until more than a year after the charity's fiscal year ends.

In that time, the charity's Board members may have changed, and the charity typically reflects those more recent changes on the website. Less Key Staff Listed on Website More It is important for donors and other stakeholders to know who runs the organization day-to-day. Charity Navigator does not cross-check the leadership listed on the website with that reported on the Form because the latter often isn't available until more than a year after the charity's fiscal year ends.

In that time, the charity's leadership may have changed and the charity typically reflects those more recent changes on the website. In other words, since the Form isn't especially timely, it can not be used to verify the leadership information published on the charity's site.

Less Audited Financial Statements on Website More We check the charity's website to see if it has published its audited financial statements for the fiscal year represented by the most recently filed IRS Form It is important for donors to have easy access to this financial report to help determine if the organization is managing its financial resources well.
