How Can A Nonprofit Be Sure It's Doing The Most It Can
With The Resources It Has?
The Nonprofit Financial Stewardship Assessment
Responsible cost management cannot be accurately measured solely by looking at a 990 tax return.
There's insufficient detail about what was spent, why it was spent, who it was spent on, what was the spending decision process, etc.
It's why funder and watchdog reliance on overhead to determine a nonprofit's suitability for funding is so flawed.
That's why we've developed a different, self-measuring stick.
ACRE's Stewardship Assessment, vetted by a group of nonprofit leaders, is a free tool to help nonprofits quantify and, if they’d like, demonstrate all they do to ensure outstanding stewardship of the resources entrusted to them.
