CHARITY RESPONSE TO REVIEW:
The Lupus Foundation of Minnesota is pleased by the assessment of the Charities Review Council that all standards are met, and we welcome the ongoing expectation for accountability and transparency. We are guided by our mission of providing support, education and research funding to enhance the lives of those affected by lupus. The Foundation’s three decades long commitment to research encourages hope for more effective diagnosis and treatment as well as ultimately a cure for lupus. We are indeed grateful for the outpouring of contributions from the community that inspire and support the mission of the Foundation. Our most recent 990 reflects costs associated with one aspect of our fundraising efforts. It is this increased cost for fundraising that has impacted our over-all “management/general fundraising” calculation as reflected in the “use of funds” standard. Within this standard, management expenses continue to remain low at only 7.9% of total operating expenses. We make every effort to expend the majority of our expenses on programs. | | | NON-CASH DONATIONS
