Fiscal Responsibility

Future Generations operates as two legally separate organizations:

• 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 54-1651305 )
• 501(c)(3) non-profit graduate school (EIN 20-4093450).

Although these organizations have separate operating budgets, they have a common mission and share the same international headquaters and administrative support staff.

2007 Fund Allocation: Based on Future Generations Audit for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2007Future Generations practices best accounting procedures with the oversight of a Certified Public Accountant and an annual audit, including a more rigorous A133 government audit.

Our work is supported through a modest but healthy endowment and generous annual donations from private philanthropists, foundations, and government agencies. Our administrative costs rarely exceed 15% of our annual budget to ensure that funds support real projects for real people in critical regions worldwide.

We are able to keep our administrative costs to a minimum because we:

• Have strategically based our international headquarters in rural West Virginia
• Pay no rent or mortgage bills: the office and land were purchased with a generous donation from the Andrus Trust;
• Generate our electricity from the wind to keep a low electric bill and tap water from a mountain spring
