"Strengthening Families and Our Community"

Parent Services Center is funded through the generous donations of individuals, businesses and local foundations.  Every effort is made to make every dollar count.  Families matter.

Financial Integrity in Fund Raising

We believe the way an organization handles its financial resources is a reflection of its integrity in every other area.  Therefore, we have established the following policies on the way our resources are used:

• This Center belongs to the community, not to any individual, the Board, nor the Staff.
• We will devote every effort to provide programs to strengthen and support families who are the foundation of our community and society.
• One of the ways we can determine the continuation of programs is through the support we receive.  During lean times, we will make our obligations known to our friends.  We will never resort to what we consider to be disrespectful and dishonorable methods of fund-raising.
• Our obligation is to spend the monies we receive in a conservative manner.
• We will not make a practice of operating the agency at a deficit.  From time to time, it may be necessary to borrow funds for large capital expenditures; however, we will seek to repay the loan as soon as possible.
• We will receipt all donations, showing the value of any benefits received in order to help contributors determine the tax-deductible portion of their gifts.
• When we make a purchase, we will pay the invoice within 30 days, if possible, so not to use the vendor's money.
• We will maintain the confidentiality of the contribution records of our donors.
• The Board, volunteers, and staff will be the primary fund-raisers.  We will not make a practice of hiring professional fund-raisers.
• We will never sell or rent our mailing list to those wishing to use the names and addresses of our supporters.
• Our financial records will be audited annually by a certified public accountant.

Everything we do is made possible through your commitment and generosity.  Thank you for helping us continue...
