Donor reporting and disclosures ensure transparency, accountability, and effective management of funds to donors. By accurately documenting and reporting on the use of funds, activities, and outcomes, non-profits demonstrate their commitment to responsible financial management and ethical practices. Donor reporting also helps build trust and credibility with donors, fostering long-term relationships and encouraging continued support. Additionally, disclosures ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and ethical standards, mitigating the risk of fraud, mismanagement or reputational damage.
