Tracking Your Data

Good recordkeeping will pay off in good financial reporting.  Funders want to know exactly what you have done with their money and how successful you have been in providing a service to the community.  Each funder will ask you to prepare a specific report.  A complete and thorough report that includes number of visits, unit costs, client satisfaction surveys, etc. tells your funders that you are a reliable and trustworthy agency.  On the other hand, lackluster and unaccountable data tracking and reporting may result in a grant not being made or renewed.
