Stewardship and Accountability

Metropolitan Ministries is committed to being excellent stewards of the resources entrusted to us so that we can serve as many people in need as possible and honor the intentions of those who support us. The care we provide for poor and homeless families happens only through the collaborative efforts of the local community.

WHAT IS TAKES TO MEET THE NEED:

$12 million per year in overall operation and program costs
Over $4.6 million per year in donated goods, materials, and professional labor and services
12,000+ volunteers with hundreds of hours of donated time resulted in saving $2.5 million in labor costs

84% of all donated funds go directly to support our programs and services. Nearly 94% of our annual operating funds come from individuals and businesses in the local community. Many professionals offer their services pro-bono each year offsetting hundreds of thousands of dollars in the budget. We are not a United Way agency and only 6% of our funding comes from government grants.

The following are among the many standards we have in place to ensure accountability, good stewardship, and sound fiscal management:

Volunteer board of directors
Adherence to generally accepted accounting procedures (GAAP)
Independent audit performed annually by Rivero, Gordimer CPA firm
