National Breast Cancer Foundation does not meet the following 2 Standards for Charity Accountability:
Standard 1 (Oversight of Operations and Staff)
Organizations shall have a board of directors that provides adequate oversight of the charity's operations and its staff. Indication of adequate oversight includes, but is not limited to, regularly scheduled appraisals of the CEO's performance, evidence of disbursement controls such as board approval of the budget, fund raising practices, establishment of a conflict of interest policy, and establishment of accounting procedures sufficient to safeguard charity finances.
NBCF does not meet this Standard because:
- The board of directors does not review the performance of the Chief Executive Officer at least once every two years.
- The Chief Executive Officer also serves as the chair of the board of directors.
Standard 4 (Compensated Board Members)
Not more than one or 10% (whichever is greater) directly or indirectly compensated person(s) serving as voting member(s) of the board. Compensated members shall not serve as the board's chair or treasurer.
NBCF does not meet this Standard because:
- The chair of the board is compensated directly.
National Breast Cancer Foundation meets the remaining 18 Standards for Charity Accountability.
