Intelligent Charitable Giving: New Way to Check Nonprofit Efficiency & Effectiveness

Where can donors get answers to their questions about charity efficiency and effectiveness? Nonprofit Analytics. Nonprofit Analytics now publishes up-to-date answers to the most common questions donors ask.

    1. What is the impact?

    2. Growth in last 3 years?

    3. How is money spent?

    4. Is fundraising efficient?

No other online platform tackles all these important questions. Only Nonprofit Analytics presents up-to-date nonprofit performance in one simple page. Nonprofit Analytics still offers 160 data points about leadership, finances, strategy and impact via downloadable 2-page nonprofit Analytical Overviews for paid subscribers. However, donors who want the highlights without all the numbers and trend lines can now get what they want for free. Nonprofit Analytics’s 2013 release of nonprofit effectiveness and efficiency data finally makes it possible to give wisely without investing much time.

Simple Source for What Donors Want

We chose the new questions to answer based on studies of what donors want (like Money for Good). We present the answers online in a simple one-page charity performance profile (download screenshot of the charity profile). We populate the answers by working directly with charities.

Instead of relying on outdated data from 2-year old IRS tax forms (like Charity Navigator), Nonprofit Analytics invests time gathering and updating nonprofit performance data every year. Since no one invests money in funds or companies based on 2-year old performance reports, we believe no one should consult outdated information when giving. It is easy to access efile tax forms for charities, but it isn’t easy to make informed giving decisions with that publicly available information. Although Nonprofit Analytics doesn’t have a million charities in the database, subscribers can get real-time efficiency and effectiveness data for any charity registered in the U.S. with a simple online request.
