The single most valuable asset of every nonprofit organization is public trust.
The demand for greater accountability within the nonprofit sector is increasing as is the number of organizations receiving exempt status. We believe that accountability should be a top priority from inception and throughout the life of an exempt organization in order to preserve the trust capital we possess by virtue of our missions.
