GHET WL INITE CHATIS T0 0N | Beiano Hopes to Have 71 ‘Recognized Organizations Affiliated for 1930. ‘An invitation to all recognized chari- ties and social agencies not members of the Community Chest to apply for mbership and for participation in the 1930 campaign will soon be issued. Frederic A. Delano, president of the Community Chest, announced yesterday. “The Community Chest campaign for 2929 included a great majority of the organizations of all races and creeds indorsed by the charities indorsement committee of the District of Columbia,” Mr. Delano sald, “A number of the in. dorsed charities, however, "for one rea- son or another did not accept the Com- munity Chest's invitation to apply for participation in the first campaign. “Various reasons were given by these mgencies for such failure to apply for membership. In the case of some there ‘was a misapprenhension as to the na- ture of the Community Chest. Some ! did not understand its purpose of fed- erating the appeals for funds of all agencies which cared to unite their ef- forts in one campaign at reduced cost and with greater effectiveness in ex- penditure. Some agencies did not feel that they had sufficient time for thor- oughgoing cunsideraflmi! of the sub- ject. Others apparently had some doubt as to whether or not the Com- munity Chest plan of financing would be able to raise more funds than the old method of individual financing. Some apparently had doubts as to whether the particular religious aus- pices under which they were conducted made them eligible for membership, al- though the Community Chest by-laws are quite clear that membership is open to agencies of all creeds, provided that they are doing a necessary charitable or social work in a.reasonably effective way. 57 Organizations Are Members. “The Community Chest purposely did not say that it was all-inclusive or that it would eliminate all appeals for funds. The campaign slogan, “Give Once for | 57" did promise that the 57 agencies which united their efforts in one cam- paign would not solicit further funds of those who contributed to the Com- munity Chest. This promise has been and will be adhered to, “Although the list of charities in- dorsed by the charities indorsement committee of the Dsitrict of Columbia does contain some 80 names, it includes several duplications by which agencies not actually listed as members of the Community Chest are in Community Chest. For example, Camp Pleasant and Camp Good Will on the list of in- dorsed charities are activities of the Associated Charities and hence mem- bers of the Community Chest. The Young Men's Hebrew Association and the Young Women's Hebrew Associa- tion' are combined in the Community Chest list as the Jewish Community Center. The Council of Jewish Women although not on the Community Chest list is a member of the chest through the participation of the Juanita K. Nye Council House, which is the chief social service activity of the Council of Jewish ‘Women. “Several of these agencies on the indorsed list do not make public ap- peals for funds and some are supported by public funds rather than by private funds. One of them, the Consumers’ League, has gone out of business. “The number which is indorsed and which might be included in Community | Chiest membership but is not now in- cluded is only 14. The number of these agencies which accept the invitation to apply for membership and which can meet the Community Chest's standards Appears in Play MISS MARY MIDDLETON. for’ membership will, with their addi- tional needs, determine the goal of the next campaign and its slogan. If the maximum ‘number of agencies were in- cluded which might be included, ac- cording to the present list of indorsed agencies, that slogdn would be “Give Once for Seventy-one.” Standards Are Outlined. The standards for membership which all Community Chest agencles must meet, according to Mr. Delano, follow: 1. If local organizations, must be in- corporated according to the laws of the District of Columbia; if national, ac- i‘.m‘dmg to a Pederal statute or State aw. 2. Must have responsible board of directors, or, if a national organization, a competent advisory board of local persons, with meetings at least quar- terly. # 3. If a society giving relief or doing social case work, must register with the Social Service Exchange all clients re- quiring relief or social treatment. 4. Must have accounts audited an- nually by an accountant satisfactory to the board of trustees. | 5. Must keep an adequate statistical record, and file same for last year with the Community Chest. * 6. Must meet some real need of the District of Columbia. 7. Must use or be willing to adopt up-to-date methods of social service. 8. On joining the Community Chest must submit complete list of contribu- tors and amounts contributed in pre- vious year and in current year to date. 9. The directing board must agree to co-operate actively in the Community Chest campaign and to adhere to the by-laws of the Community Chest.
