How Do We Measure Up

Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly has been reviewed by the Charities Review Council. The Council is an independent organization that researches and reviews nonprofits in order to help Minnesota donors make informed giving decisions. Organizations are evaluated against a set of accountability standards in four areas: Public Disclosure, Governance, Financial Activity, and Fundraising. After a thorough review of information including our annual report, fundraising materials, bylaws, board meeting minutes, and financial statements, we are proud to report that the Council has determined that Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly meets all standards.
 
Although the Council does not endorse or disapprove of any organization, it's standards are generally accepted baseline indicators of accountable, ethical, and healthy organizations, and the Council encourages donors to support charities that meet it's standards.
