Webster Parish Council on Aging does not meet the following 3 Standards for Charity Accountability:
Standard 12 (Detailed Functional Breakdown of Expenses)
Include in the financial statements a breakdown of expenses (e.g., salaries, travel, postage, etc.) that shows what portion of these expenses was allocated to program, fund raising, and administrative activities. If the charity has more than one major program category, the schedule should provide a breakdown for each category.
Webster Parish Council on Aging does not meet this standard because:
Standard 17 (Web Site Disclosures)
Include on any charity websites that solicit contributions, the same information that is recommended for annual reports, as well as the mailing address of the charity and electronic access to its most recent IRS Form 990.
Webster Parish Council on Aging does not meet this standard because:
At the time of initial assessment, it appeared that the Council is in the process of developing its website to include the capability to accept donations. However, it remains to be seen whether the end product will satisfy this standard, so at this time it is being given a NOT YET MET measure.
Standard 18 (Privacy for Written Appeals & Internet Privacy)
Address privacy concerns of donors by (a) providing in written appeals, at least annually, a means (e.g., such as a check off box) for both new and continuing donors to inform the charity if they do not want their name and address shared outside the organization, (b) providing a clear, prominent and easily accessible privacy policy on any of its websites that tells visitors (i) what information, if any, is being collected about them by the charity and how this information will be used, (ii) how to contact the charity to review personal information collected and request corrections, (iii) how to inform the charity (e.g., a check off box) that the visitor does not wish his/her personal information to be shared outside the organization, and (iv) what security measures the charity has in place to protect personal information.
Webster Parish Council on Aging does not meet this standard because:
At the time of initial assessment, a very basic privacy policy can be found on the website with some diligent searching. To meet this standard, however, the link will need to become more prominent, and the policy itself needs to be better developed according to the criteria of the standard.
The BBB Wise Giving Alliance requested but did not receive complete information from the organization and is unable to verify the organization's compliance with the following Standard(s) for Charity Accountability: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19
