      Some of the bones had been broken, likely when the ship capsized, crushing its passengers. Discovered embedded in a concretion, the anonymous pirate died with a pistol in his hand and metal—likely gold—stashed in his pocket, Clifford told the Times. The only authenticated pirate wreck in the world, the Whydah boasts a storied history. The bodies of crew members eventually washed up on the beach, but another 43—including Bellamy—seemingly went down with the ship.Originally a British slave ship , the vessel was captured by Bellamy in early  The New England Historical Society notes that the captain treated all crew members equally, allowing them to vote on significant decisions. Artifacts previously recovered from the wreck include 15, coins; weapons such as a three-pound,. They would have weighed around 50 pounds, he believed, light enough for one man to carry, and the pistols were packed onto the top of the chest in case of trouble.Those same primary source materials indicate there may be as much as 4. That includes gold dust used in transactions when the Whydah was a slaver before it was captured by Bellamy. Whydah divers have recovered over smaller concretions and 14 massive ones that weigh 3, to 9. They sit under the sand on the hardpan bottom, typically among the glacial erratics, stones that were dragged across the landscape and left behind during the last Ice Age.The concretions are X-rayed to give researchers an idea of what they contain. Sometimes it is something that may not be a precious metal, but the preserved remains of a pirate trapped in the chaotic debris of a shipwreck. Barry Clifford and a team of historical researchers and divers found the wreck in  For 23 years, Macort, himself a diver who works the wreck in summers, has been looking at a huge piece of concreted sand that only recently yielded the remains of a pirate. Another concretion held the remains of John King, a boy estimated to be between 8 and 11 years old who was drawn to the pirate life and became trapped under cannons following the sinking.

Note: The absence of a score does not indicate a positive or negative assessment, it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated the organization. Do you work at WHYY? Note: The absence of a score does not indicate a positive or negative assessment, it only indicates that the organization has not yet submitted data for evaluation.This score provides an assessment of the organization's engagement with the constituents it serves, a practice we term Constituent Feedback.When organizations listen to constituents, they are able to better deliver on programs and meet the needs of stakeholders. A future version of this Beacon will also assess an organization's people operations and its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion DEI metrics. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to fill out the How We Listen section of their Candid profile. Constituent Feedback and Listening Practice data are not available for this organization.Charity Navigator believes nonprofit organizations that engage in inclusive practices, such as collecting feedback from the people and communities they serve, may be more effective. We award every nonprofit that completes the Candid survey full credit for this Beacon, in recognition of their willingness to publicly share this information with the nonprofit and philanthropic communities. Although the data is not evaluated for quality at this time, future iterations of this Beacon will include third party or other data that will serve to validate the information provided by the nonprofit.Our partnership with Feedback Labs and Guidestar by Candid , and other partners including Fund for Shared Insight, GlobalGiving, and Keystone Accountability, enables us to launch the first version of this beacon with Constituent Feedback information collected on Candid's site. Feedback practices have been shown to support better Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion outcomes, an essential area of assessment that we intend to further expand and develop in the future.Feedback Labs has documented several studies which indicate that beyond achieving organizational goals, nonprofits that are attentive and responsive to concerns and ideas raised by beneficiaries establish stronger relationships with the people they serve, promote greater equity, and empower constituents in ways that can help to ensure better long-term outcomes.You can find resources to help nonprofits improve their feedback practices here.

Program Expense Growth 6.Governance Charity Navigator looks to confirm on the Form that the organization has these governance practices in place. More The presence of an independent governing body is strongly recommended by many industry professionals to allow for full deliberation and diversity of thinking on governance and other organizational matters. Our analysts check the Form to determine if the independent Board members are a voting majority and also at least five in number.Less No Material Diversion of Assets More A diversion of assets — any unauthorized conversion or use of the organization's assets other than for the organization's authorized purposes, including but not limited to embezzlement or theft — can seriously call into question a charity's financial integrity. This metric will be assigned to one of the following categories: Full Credit: There has been no diversion of assets within the last two years. Partial Credit: There has been a diversion of assets within the last two years and the charity has used Schedule O on the Form to explain: the nature of the diversion, the amount of money or property involved and the corrective action taken to address the matter.In this situation, we deduct 7 points from the charity's Accountability and Transparency score. No Credit: There has been a diversion of assets within the last two years and the charity's explanation on Schedule O is either non-existent or not sufficient. In this case, we deduct 15 points from the charity's Accountability and Transparency score. More Audited financial statements provide important information about financial accountability and accuracy. Partial Credit: The charity's audited financials were prepared by an independent accountant, but it did not have an audit oversight committee.In this case, we deduct 7 points from the charity's Accountability and Transparency score. No Credit: The charity did not have its audited financials prepared by an independent accountant. More Making loans to related parties such as key officers, staff, or Board members, is not standard practice in the sector as it may divert the charity's funds away from its charitable mission and can lead to real and perceived conflict-of-interest problems.This practice is discouraged by sector trade groups which point to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act when they call for charities to refrain from making loans to directors and executives. And the IRS is concerned enough with the practice that it requires charities to disclose on their Form any loans to or from current and former officers, directors, trustees, key employees, and other "disqualified persons.Furthermore, it is problematic because it is an indicator that the organization is not financially secure. Less Documents Board Meeting Minutes More An official record of the events that take place during a board meeting ensures that a contemporaneous document exists for future reference.Charities are not required to make their Board meeting minutes available to the public. As such, we are not able to review and critique their minutes. For this performance metric, we are checking to see if the charity reports on its Form that it does keep those minutes. In the future, we will also track and rate whether or not a charity keeps minutes for its committee meetings.Less Distributes to Board Before Filing More Providing copies of the Form to the governing body in advance of filing is considered a best practice, as it allows for thorough review by the individuals charged with overseeing the organization. The Form asks the charity to disclose whether or not it has followed this best practice. If the charity has not distributed its Form to the board before filing, then we deduct 4 points from its Accountability and Transparency score.Less Compensates Board More The IRS requires that any compensation paid to members of the charity's governing body be listed on the Form  Furthermore, all members of the governing body need to be listed whether or not they are compensated. It is not unusual for some members of the board to have compensation listed. The executive director of the organization frequently has a seat on the board, for instance, and is compensated for being a full time staff member.However, it is rare for a charity to compensate individuals only for serving on its Board of Directors. Although this sort of board compensation is not illegal, it is not considered a best practice. Policies Charity Navigator looks to confirm on the Form , or for some metrics on the charity's website, that the organization has these policies in place.Will my donation count for challenges during on-air Member campaigns? These only apply to new donations rather than monthly ones. However, if you make an additional gift during a challenge period, then per the terms of each individual challenge, that gift may be matched. Is my gift to WHYY tax-deductible?
