Financials & Other Business
New Financial Accountability Approach & Other Business Updates:
The new, updated monthly budget report template used by the foundation now aims to enhance transparency and accountability for the foundation detailing financial operations and strategies.
This report will be shared bi-annually and will include smaller monthly summaries for public. This initiative is based on over three years of research, integrating financial reporting standards with the unique needs of an organization focused on preventing school violence. The aim is to promote effective financial management, transparency, and informed decision-making. The Executive Summary provides an overview of the Foundation's financial status, translating complex data into actionable insights for stakeholders.
The monthly financial snapshot summarizes key performance indicators, ensuring accountability and facilitating discussions about financial health. The report emphasizes the importance of compliance, informed decision-making, and risk management to maintain public trust and support the Foundation's mission. It highlights revenue sources, expense breakdowns, and strategic management to ensure effective resource allocation for its core initiatives.
Additionally, as of 2025, the foundation will be filing a more detailed 990 as opposed to our current filing requirements dictated by the IRS.
All Services Provided By The Foundation Are Offered At NO COST Nor Request For Donation In Exchange For Services Or Outreaches!
Additionally, NO Officer, Board Member, Volunteer Or Staff Member, Receives A Salary Or Financial Compensation For Their Work - So That Funds May Be Used More For Our Mission Purpose.
As of 2024, the foundation integrated more into the national communities by opting out of maintaining one central headquarters, opting instead to establish smaller, residency chapters & offices in communities served.
This in part due to our desire to utilize more financial support provided us, for programming & so as to allow us to even more intimately & directly serve our focus groups.
We continue to expand our national presence through this manner, joining other national organizations with fully remote or majority-remote staff & locations such as:
-
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands (Omaha, Nebraska): who recently transitioned to a 100% remote workforce in late 2021, and downsized their physical office space.
-
Susan G. Komen: is also fully remote, with their development team expected to be present within the community.
-
Tessitura Network: a technology company for arts and cultural organizations, has a majority of their staff working remotely.
The Foundation Is A Nationally Recognized 501c3 Charity (No. 88-3268749)
