Transparency and Governance 

At Elmore Disaster Relief (EDR), we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and integrity. Our dedication to responsible governance ensures that every decision we make aligns with our mission to support communities during their greatest times of need. Here’s how we maintain transparency and good governance:

 

1. Clear Bylaws and Policies:

We operate under a comprehensive set of bylaws that guide our decision-making and organizational structure. These bylaws outline how we function, how decisions are made, and how we ensure compliance with federal and state laws. 

 

2. Financial Accountability:

We are dedicated to being responsible stewards of the resources entrusted to us. Our financials are managed with care, and we are committed to allocating funds where they have the greatest impact. Annual financial summaries and reports are made available for public review. [Link to annual reports]

 

3. Board of Directors:

Our organization is governed by a Board of Directors that oversees our operations, ensures alignment with our mission, and upholds accountability. The board meets regularly to review progress, evaluate initiatives, and provide strategic guidance. Meet our board members on our About Us page.

We value the trust of our donors. Every dollar contributed to EDR is carefully tracked and allocated to maximize its impact. Donors can see the tangible results of their generosity through updates, impact reports, and stories from the field.

 

5. Compliance with Regulations:

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we adhere to all federal and state regulations governing charitable organizations. This includes annual reporting, maintaining tax-exempt status, and compliance with ethical fundraising practices.
