Just as choosing a nonprofit to support can be a confusing decision, so can deciding how much to give and how to give it. Also, every donor wants accountability. But what are the metrics for evaluation, and how can it be achieved without unfair demands on the organization?

The way in which gifts are structured can make a significant difference to a nonprofit. Conflicts can be avoided and long-term goals achieved through careful planning. Calvin Edwards & Company has significant experience in understanding the financial needs and concerns of nonprofits. At the same time, we are able to act as a liaison between the parties to ensure that there are no misunderstandings.

Giving is hampered when the donor doubts whether a gift achieved its desired purpose. Being able to measure and define what was achieved – even when it did not completely meet original expectations – can help bring confidence and increase the partnership between donor and nonprofit.

Calvin Edwards & Company is skilled at designing agreements and progress points to create a system of reporting and accountability. This ultimately results in better performance at the charity or ministry, more confident giving, and peace of mind for the donor.
