    CHARITY RESPONSE TO REVIEW:
    The Preservation Alliance of Minnesota is committed to providing our donors with a positive giving experience by practicing the highest possible standards of accountability and transparency. We welcome your questions to ensure that you feel good about your giving decision. The Alliance is working to meet all standards set forth by the Charities Review Council. With one of our two staff dedicated to administrative functions, our organization had difficulty meeting the 70% use of funds standard. We hired a third full-time staff person in July, 2008, dedicated specifically to program delivery, which will assist us in better meeting our mission and this standard.
