Financial Health
- Through effective work in seeking public funding and expanding
philanthropic support, Miami Lighthouse enhanced its financial health
and its sustainability in serving its more than 20-fold increase in
clients since 2004.
- Miami Lighthouse ranks nationally among the top 2% of the 8,000
nonprofit organizations evaluated by Charity Navigator based upon sound
fiscal management and responsible use of donor dollars thus ranking as
one of the elite 160 nonprofits in the nation that have received eight
consecutive 4-star ratings. Only about one in four organizations
evaluated gets a 4-star rating.
In 2013, the Board Strategic Plan identified the following six focus
areas:
-
Providing Career Guidance and Job Placement
-
Meeting the Needs of Visually Impaired Adults, Especially Seniors
-
Innovating through Advanced Technology
-
Collaborating with Academe
-
Pursue National Health Care Strategic Partners
-
Meeting the Needs of Visually Impaired Children
Read a case study on Board governance in
Nonprofit
World by Bill Roy, Virginia Jacko and consultant Doug Eadie.
Miami Lighthouse Board of Directors is
comprised of a diverse and dynamic group of volunteers, who provide
leadership and support to ensure the vitality of the organization.
The Miami Lighthouse Board adopted a contemporary
high-impact governance model in early 2007 which channels the energy and
talents of board members in three areas of governance: monitoring,
planning, and external relations. Further, it facilitates a close,
enduring, and truly effective Board-CEO partnership which has a
significant impact in organizational affairs.
