Organizational Structure
World Vision US is an independently registered interdependent national member office of the federal umbrella organization World Vision International. The relationship with World Vision International is governed by the Covenant of Partnership, a document that all national members of the World Vision Partnership have to sign. According to this document World Vision U.S has to accept policies and decisions established by the International Board and must not establish an office or program outside the US without the consent of World Vision International and the host country. Furthermore, with the exception of direct project founding, all funds intended for outside the US have to be remitted through World Vision International and the financial planning and budget principles adopted by the International Board have to be accepted. By signing the Covenant of Partnership World Vision US, like all other national members of the World Vision Partnership, also subscribes to the Core Values, the Mission Statement, and the Statement of Faith of World Vision.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
