The program provides an environment for teammates to deepen their understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a leader, create greater awareness of their own strengths and areas for professional development, and gain valuable leadership tools and insights to increase leadership readiness. WWP developed a leader-specific annual event, L3, which brings together our entire leadership team for 2 days of team development, training, and collaboration. The objective of this event is to enhance confidence, cohesion, and clarity amongst leaders, developing individual skills while learning with and from each other.
The nonprofit provides evidence of leadership through focusing externally and mobilizing resources for the mission. Qualified applicants can expect to participate in a two- to three-week intensive outpatient program to receive mental health care at one of the four academic medical centers. Wounded Warrior Project believes that no one organization can meet the needs of all wounded, injured, or ill veterans alone. By collaborating with other military and veteran support organizations, we amplify the effects of our efforts.
Our investments and unfunded partnerships in the military and veteran community fill gaps in our programs and reinforce our existing efforts. The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year. WWP reached out to all its registered warriors to identify those who are in financial distress due to the loss of household income related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Those unable to meet their needs for food or shelter applied for emergency funds. This support, combined with our mental and physical health and wellness programs, will aid the most vulnerable veteran families in our community. Many are coping with a weakened immune system, increased isolation, and financial hardship.
It's important to note that not all warriors qualified for this assistance. This score provides an assessment of the organization's engagement with the constituents it serves, a practice we term Constituent Feedback. When organizations listen to constituents, they are able to better deliver on programs and meet the needs of stakeholders.
A future version of this Beacon will also assess an organization's people operations and its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion DEI metrics.
Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to fill out the How We Listen section of their Candid profile. Electronic surveys by email, tablet, etc. Charity Navigator believes nonprofit organizations that engage in inclusive practices, such as collecting feedback from the people and communities they serve, may be more effective.
We've partnered with GuideStar by Candid to survey organizations about their feedback practices. Nonprofit organizations can fill out the How We Listen section of their Candid profile to receive a rating. Charity Navigator awards full credit for this Beacon to every nonprofit that is eligible for an Encompass Rating that completes the survey, in recognition of their willingness to publicly share this information with the nonprofit and philanthropic communities.
This data is not evaluated for quality at this time. Validation will be added in future iterations of this Beacon. Our partnership with Feedback Labs and Guidestar by Candid , and other partners including Fund for Shared Insight, GlobalGiving, and Keystone Accountability, enables us to launch the first version of this beacon with Constituent Feedback information collected on Candid's site.
Feedback practices have been shown to support better Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion outcomes, an essential area of assessment that we intend to further expand and develop in the future. Feedback Labs has documented several studies which indicate that beyond achieving organizational goals, nonprofits that are attentive and responsive to concerns and ideas raised by beneficiaries establish stronger relationships with the people they serve, promote greater equity, and empower constituents in ways that can help to ensure better long-term outcomes.

Program Expense Growth Governance Charity Navigator looks to confirm on the Form that the organization has these governance practices in place. More The presence of an independent governing body is strongly recommended by many industry professionals to allow for full deliberation and diversity of thinking on governance and other organizational matters.
Our analysts check the Form to determine if the independent Board members are a voting majority and also at least five in number. Less No Material Diversion of Assets More A diversion of assets — any unauthorized conversion or use of the organization's assets other than for the organization's authorized purposes, including but not limited to embezzlement or theft — can seriously call into question a charity's financial integrity.
This metric will be assigned to one of the following categories: Full Credit: There has been no diversion of assets within the last two years.
Partial Credit: There has been a diversion of assets within the last two years and the charity has used Schedule O on the Form to explain: the nature of the diversion, the amount of money or property involved and the corrective action taken to address the matter. In this situation, we deduct 7 points from the charity's Accountability and Transparency score. No Credit: There has been a diversion of assets within the last two years and the charity's explanation on Schedule O is either non-existent or not sufficient.
In this case, we deduct 15 points from the charity's Accountability and Transparency score. More Audited financial statements provide important information about financial accountability and accuracy. Partial Credit: The charity's audited financials were prepared by an independent accountant, but it did not have an audit oversight committee.
In this case, we deduct 7 points from the charity's Accountability and Transparency score. No Credit: The charity did not have its audited financials prepared by an independent accountant. More Making loans to related parties such as key officers, staff, or Board members, is not standard practice in the sector as it may divert the charity's funds away from its charitable mission and can lead to real and perceived conflict-of-interest problems.
This practice is discouraged by sector trade groups which point to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act when they call for charities to refrain from making loans to directors and executives.
And the IRS is concerned enough with the practice that it requires charities to disclose on their Form any loans to or from current and former officers, directors, trustees, key employees, and other "disqualified persons. Furthermore, it is problematic because it is an indicator that the organization is not financially secure.
Less Documents Board Meeting Minutes More An official record of the events that take place during a board meeting ensures that a contemporaneous document exists for future reference. Charities are not required to make their Board meeting minutes available to the public. As such, we are not able to review and critique their minutes. For this performance metric, we are checking to see if the charity reports on its Form that it does keep those minutes.
In the future, we will also track and rate whether or not a charity keeps minutes for its committee meetings. Less Distributes to Board Before Filing More Providing copies of the Form to the governing body in advance of filing is considered a best practice, as it allows for thorough review by the individuals charged with overseeing the organization. The Form asks the charity to disclose whether or not it has followed this best practice. If the charity has not distributed its Form to the board before filing, then we deduct 4 points from its Accountability and Transparency score.
Less Compensates Board More The IRS requires that any compensation paid to members of the charity's governing body be listed on the Form Furthermore, all members of the governing body need to be listed whether or not they are compensated.
It is not unusual for some members of the board to have compensation listed. The executive director of the organization frequently has a seat on the board, for instance, and is compensated for being a full time staff member.
However, it is rare for a charity to compensate individuals only for serving on its Board of Directors. Although this sort of board compensation is not illegal, it is not considered a best practice. Powered by Wounded Warrior Project.
