In February 2011, UCP of Minnesota was reviewed by Charities Review Council, an independent organization that researches and reviews nonprofits in order to help Minnesota donors make informed giving decisions.  Organizations are evaluated against a set of accountability standards in four areas:  public disclosure, good governance, healthy financial activity and ethical fundraising.  We are proud to state that UCP of Minnesota meets all 27-standards of the Charities Review Council Accountability Standards!  Although the Council does not endorse or disapprove of any organization, its standards are generally accept baseline indicators of accountable, ethical and healthy organizations, and the Council encourages donors to support charities that meet its standards.
