ChildFund is an affiliate member of Accountable Now.

Each member of ChildFund Alliance is governed by a voluntary board of directors. Board members are experts in their fields who give their time and knowledge to ensure high standards are maintained at each organization.

The board of each Alliance member acts as the organization’s governing body, in charge of reviewing financial statements and program activities. Major decisions on new activities are brought before the board, and once plans are underway, the board will conduct reviews to check progress and make adjustments to the activities if necessary.
