Financial Accountability

At Metro World Child we realize the importance of how we use the gifts our donors entrust to us. Our pledge is to effectively distribute the resources given to successfully change children’s lives around the world. We are striving to keep our fundraising and overhead costs as low as possible. In the past year, 74.47 cents of every dollar given was spent on programs that directly benefit children. The organization is operated by a governing board that directs a CPA firm to perform an annual audit, which is then reported back to the board.
