Fundraisers

✔ Make available, to those donors that wish to have them, details of your financial systems, risk and impact assessment procedures, and other techniques and systems of good governance. Circulate key audiences (staff, volunteers and donors who ask for them) with details of what happens at your board meetings, including full minutes (editing out anything of a genuinely sensitive or confidential nature, i.e., a disciplinary procedure). Many organizations now post highlights of board meetings on their intranets or websites. Donors, I am sure, will approve.
