Accountability

Little Children of the World, Inc. is strictly accountable for all funds received. It is incorporated as a not-for-profit service organization and holds the 501{c}3 status with the Internal Revenue Service. The money received for child sponsorships is sent, in monthly remittances, directly to the overseas project site for child services. All accounts are computerized at the Treasurer's Office in Barnesville, Georgia. An annual audited report is prepared by Robyn Underwood, Auditor, Barnesville, Georgia.

A list of donors is published annually and mailed to all LCW donors together with the quarterly newsletter. A list of child sponsors is printed monthly on an Excel spread sheet, including the children currently sponsored and the type of payment arrangement chosen by each sponsor. The audited report, the list of donors, and the list of sponsors and sponsored children are available upon request. Form 990 for not-for-profit organizations (2002) is also available upon request.

The LCW Financial/Sponsorship Office is located in Barnesville, Georgia under the leadership of Glenna Waller, LCW VP/CFO. This office is responsible for receipting all donations and preparing financial reports and budgets. The Barnesville Office also manages the Sponsorship Program.

LCW has two governing boards - a Board of Directors and an Advisory Board.
