SKMCH gets NPO certification

LAHORE:After a rigorous four-month evaluation, culminating in a comprehensive two-day physical evaluation review, the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) has renewed the certification of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust (SKMT) as a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO).

The PCP conducts performance evaluation of NPO on behalf of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and certifies that NPOs meet with the desired requirements of certification standards (notified by FBR) in the areas of internal governance, financial management and programme delivery. The certification is renewed every three years and SKMT first achieved this certification in 2006. The NPO certification is a recognition of SKMT's commitment to ethical fundraising practices, effective governance, and transparency in financial management.
