How We're Funded

My Brother’s Keeper is committed to the following financial management practices:

• Having faith in God to provide for the ministry’s needs through the generosity of people
• Avoiding the accumulation of funds. We believe money should pass through us to serve those in need, not remain with us.
• Strong stewardship which maximizes program expenditures while minimizing administration and fundraising costs
• Staff wages which are fair and reasonable — not excessive
• Annual planning and budgeting based on the level of giving and our resources
• Spending and expansion at a rate that does not incur indebtedness
• Oversight by a volunteer Board of Directors including a Treasurer who is a CPA
• Annual audits by an independent certified public accounting firm
• Disclosure of current audited financial statements upon request
• Avoidance of any conflict of interest that would compromise the good reputation of My Brother’s Keeper
• Full compliance with the guidelines of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States Internal Revenue Service
