Practical steps toward improved accountability

This guide serves as a complete overview of reseach conducted by GivingNet to offer foundations ways to look at accountability through a variety of lenses:




  • What do board and staff need to know to help us assess and improve our charitable investments?
  • What do donors want and need to know so they can make good giving decisions? What information do we have at hand that could be assembled differently... arranged more effectively?
  • What additional information could we collect to improve our reporting?
  • How can we help nonprofits improve the kind of information they collect and share with us?
  • When will we need a technology solution to help with this important effort?

The intended outcome is a process that will:

  • Increase the capacity of staff and board to make better decisions about investment of precious unrestricted funds

  • Help inform donors about good giving opportunities
