Is It Time to Grow?

Accountability. Are the dollars coming in accurately and consistently accounted? Is this clearly communicated to all constituents? Occasionally I’ve walked into situations where the nonprofit didn’t know if there was enough to pay the bills, and once I was present when a board reprimanded an executive director for running personal bills through the organization. We are in an era where donors are demanding accountability. The more we can account for dollars spent, the more successful our fundraising efforts will be. When donors see their money being spent well and goals being achieved as a result, they want to give more.
