Statement on Financial Stewardship, Accountability, Transparency, Fidelity to the Law, and Leadership Compensation

At Clergy Care Collective, we are deeply thankful to our donors and endeavor to be responsible stewards of their contributions. To this end we are committed to managing the resources entrusted to us with the highest level of integrity, accountability, fidelity to the law, and transparency.

Initially our Executive Director, who is a lawyer, in consultation with our Chief Financial Officer, Steven Young, M.S., C.P.A., an elite accountant, former corporate executive, and medical practice manager, and a man of the highest character and integrity, will handle donations and budgets. We will be independently audited by a second accountant with experience in nonprofit accounting, at the end of the year, in preparation for our form 990 filing with the Internal Revenue Service. We will make our financial statements public beginning August 1, 2025.

We will never disclose the personal contact information of donors to third parties. All funds for the organization are kept in an account at Devon Bank, a community bank with which the Executive Director and his family have had a relationship for 27 years.

The Executive Director, Board of Directors, and officers, since the inception of this nonprofit on December 26, 2024, have not received any monetary compensation. The Executive Director aspires to change this. His salary will never exceed that of what founding executive directors earn at similar charities. As soon as he is earning a salary, it will be disclosed on this page.
