“Robert Hill (President) and Darlene Hill (Board Member) have been married to each other for 50 years. However, all members vote independently of each other and Robert and Darlene do not always vote the same.”

“The board meets to discuss finances, policy, and changes. Our meetings are open to the public, so any issues or concerns with an additional (or discontinuing) service or program can be discussed at that time and the path forward approved or rejected.”

“Due to Covid restrictions for most of 2020, we did not have any board meetings. We did have several email conversations, but no formal board meeting to document.”

“Our committees are made up completely of volunteers and as long as they stay within the areas of their ministries (food pantry, clothing closet, day center (what limited days we were open in 2020), and financial assistance, no meetings or documentation is required.”

“We met Friday, September 3, 2021 for a general board meeting. After the main business had concluded, copies of the tax return were distributed and the board reviewed the returns. Any concerns were addressed at that time and modifications to any Schedule O wording were approved. The tax returns were approved to be submitted at that time.”

“Although we do not have a written Record Retention, we do follow the Federal Guidelines for Record Retention.”

“There are no paid staff at Dalton's Greater Works. We are all volunteers. No compensation discussions are required because there is no compensation.”

“Upon request, copies of tax documents (except donor lists) and our annual report are provided. Greater Works also provides this documentation to top donors, all churches, and non-profits that contribute to the organization. The annual report includes: Cash Flow, Statement of Functional Expenses, Statement of Financial Position, Planning Budget for Upcoming Year, and explanations about what services were provided, how many people received assistance, and organizational needs and goals.”

“2020 we opened House of Hope, which is a prison recovery program to help men recently out of jail learn how to manage themselves both emotionally and financially, as well as teach them how to reintegrate into society. This is a full-time ministry that provides room and board, social activities, cell phones, and clothing while the participants work at obtaining and holding full-time jobs and becoming financially capable of supporting themselves.”

“We provide monies to Missionary Ventures International Inc. (EIN: 59-2321060) for Haitian Support. These monies are given by donors specifically for Haitian support and are not taken from any general account donations or other-designated monies.”
