Family Resource Center Association

“The family resource center association (frca) is a not-for-profit corporation with members. Members are defined as those organizations who have completed an application form, received acknowledgement of membership from frca, and have paid the currently stipulated membership dues. As a non-profit, frca's members cannot receive profits, excess dues, or net assets from frca.”

“Members are entitled to vote at our annual meeting, and to nominate, vote for, and serve on the board of directors, and to make other decisions that may properly come before the membership.”

“Accounting and audit documents are approved by the finance committee and the board of directors. The form 990 is first reviewed and edited by the finance committee, then provided to the board for review, comment and approval.”

“All board members annually sign an agreement to avoid conflicts of interest. Officers, directors and key employees report any conflict to the executive directors and board. The board discusses matters if potential conflicts arise. The finance committee regularly discusses avoiding conflicts of interest, and the staff has regular discussions about avoiding conflicts and discussing any potential conflicts.”

“Compensation for the executive directors is based upon several factors and is reviewed by the executive committee of the board of directors annually. The executive committee reviews similar organizations' salary information as well as salary surveys from organizations such as the colorado nonprofit association and the employers council to determine appropriate compensation for the executive directors. Any changes in compensation for the executive directors are determined by the executive committee. Compensation is reviewed annually.”

“Governing and financial documents are available upon request as well as on our website.”

“Section 4a continued frca's most recent evaluation report confirmed effectiveness of the strategies and tools completed to date. The report showed significant gains in family economic self-sufficiency and health, as well as increases in the five protective factors that protect against child maltreatment. Frca supports members to work toward high fidelity implementation of the tool through surveys, data collection and site visits to identify key areas for improvement. At the center level, outcomes and progress with families are measured by participant feedback obtained by surveys and interviews. Section 4b continued frca supports its members with trainings, advocacy, capacity building, evaluation, and resources. In 2024, frca's program and evaluation committee developed a new fidelity monitoring matrix that provides valuable feedback to members on their family-centered approach to working with families and implementation of frca's model. High fidelity will lead to higher quality practice and better services and outcomes for families. In addition to building an effective and replicable model for family support services at the community level, frca is a leader in the family support field in colorado and nationally. Frca uses its expertise and experience to collaborate with partners to implement best practices, provide trainings, and reach shared goals.”
