Down East Partnership for Children
In its report to MRBF in August 1997, Down East Partnership for Children (DEPC) claimed that its “greatest organizational capacity building has been in the development of financial systems, human and technical.” This process included hiring a budget and planning director to free the executive director from day-to-day financial administration and to assist the program directors in learning to plan and oversee pieces of the budget. To keep up with rapid growth in their budget and programs, DEPC added a controller and reorganized its finance staff.
