Preparing to help nonprofits prove and improve their impact.
Genuine philanthropy is inspired more by trust than money. 73% of survey respondents rated the importance of trust in nonprofits as 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale. A peer-reviewed study found that nonprofits earning transparency seals enjoyed an increase of 53% in total contributions, one year later. These nonprofits displayed stronger performance across a measurable range of governance, financial, and operational factors. Track & Share's work will improve trust-based philanthropy, donor confidence, and nonprofits' performance outcomes.
MEASURABLE IMPACT
Track & Share will advance trust-based philanthropy by helping nonprofits earn respected transparency seals, and through public promotion of their benefits. Donations are meant to provide measurable return on investment.
TRANSPARENCY SEALS
Track & Share will provide direct assistance to nonprofits by helping them earn or improve their ratings on respected, independent websites that donors and stakeholders consult. This measurable goal will be achieved through donor-funded engagements, of up to 20 hours, with individual nonprofits, providing tools and guidance to choose performance metrics and values, track them over time, and report them to stakeholders.
TRUST-BASED PHILANTHROPY
Track & Share will publicly promote trust-based philanthropy and the steps required to advance it. This goal will be achieved through public presentations, in media engagements, and in published articles, each of which will also tracked and shared.
