Development Audits
 

GraceWorks' Fundraising Audit is a careful and extensive evaluation of your current annual fundraising program. The goal of a Development Audit is two-fold:

Determine reasonable, larger annual fund goals for your school and
Detail areas for improvement for you to reach these higher goals.

GraceWorks' Fundraising Audits include specific recommendations to improve your fundraising effectiveness.  These powerful ideas will pay for the cost of the audit . . . many times over.

A Closer Look at Our Fundraising Audit

A Fundraising Audit looks at your school's trends over time, your current development efforts and all other pertinent revenue factors in your development work, including:

Revenue -- Sources, types, breakouts, costs of funds, programs and public data comparisons.

Donors -- Types, ranges, numbers, gains/losses, LYBUNTs, SYBUNTs, reactivated, new, acquisition, averages, values, geography and upgrades / downgrades.

Activities -- Appeal results, results / cost by type, success factors, gaps and mailing calendar.

Major Donors -- Activity, increase / decrease, averages, value, priority and planned giving.

Procedures -- Thanking, stocks, Visa, receipting, donor calling / visiting and fundraising systems.

Staffing -- Time allocations, job descriptions, functions, teamwork, volunteer management, yearly development plan, accountability and goals.

Information Systems -- Software, level of implementation, the human elements, staff access, updating, problems and road-blocks.

Development Support -- Administrative, public relations, program-related, literature / case materials, budget, donor research, ministry plan and Board of Directors.

Policies -- Thanking, naming, recognition and gift acceptance.

Development, like sales, is an open-ended activity. There is always something more to do!  The key to success is doing the right thing - and enlisting others, like the Board and Principal, to do the right thing.  A GraceWorks' Fundraising Audit helps you understand the priority for your fundraising activities based on your current results.

For example, many Board members and CEOs can be persuaded to do major gift work once they understand the huge portion of your Annual Fund that is given by major donors.  The flip side of that same coin is a more realistic view of the costs and results of foundation work.  Fundraising Audits help you, your CEO, and your Board understand what development activities need to be prioritized and which do not.
