Reporting fundraising expenses

For Charity Village by John Stuart --August 21, 2012

This article answers questions about best practices on reporting from the 2012 Best Practices in Charity Annual Reporting Guide, the VSRA (where judges call on charities to follow a three-step process when disclosing fundraising expenses):

1. Clearly state fundraising goals
2. Explain the rationale for the fundraising activity
3. Report actual fundraising results compared to the fundraising goal and comment on significant variances.
