Panel
of Judges
The first screening process is a preliminary short-listing
procedure. In order to ensure an objective assessment, an independent
panel of judges having expertise in the fields of financial disclosure,
public disclosure, and communication adjudge the winners based
on a set of criteria.
The
three broad criteria are:
|
Financial Disclosure: Audited Financial information
of the organization presented through a full set of statements
and summarized in annual reports, thus representing a clear
state of affairs. |
 |
Public Disclosure: Reporting on practices of the organization
that display accountability and credibility. |
|
Communication: Annual reports that communicate the impact
of the organization, engage their donors, and are interesting
to read. |
