Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities
Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities Introduction This guide addresses examining tax exempt organization fundraising and provides: Background information Audit guidelines Audit techniques Audit procedures This guide is not all-inclusive and doesn’t intend to limit agents to identifying issues or using techniques not listed in this guide. For information on fundraising issues involving political organizations, see the Audit Technique Guide for Political Organizations. For information on fundraising issues involving gaming activities, see the Audit Technique Guide for Organizations Conducting Gaming Activities. This manual is organized into five sections: Background information Activities (professional fundraisers, fundraising events, internet fundraising) Records (solicitations, disclosures, cash contributions, non-cash contributions) Reporting (Form 990-EZ, Form 990: Core Return, Schedule G, Schedule M, Form 990-PF, Form 990-T) Audit procedures (pre-audit, field/OCEP, penalty considerations, case closing) Background Most, if not all, tax exempt organizations need money. Many exempt purposes can only be achieved via the application of money. Thus, large numbers of organizations devote significant resources to acquiring money. These organizations use various methods to obtain funds, ranging from selling a product or service, conducting a fundraising event, to just asking for money. Traditional methods of obtaining funds include soliciting donors via the mail, phone calls, newspapers, radio, television, and now via the Internet. Organizations have become creative over the years, conducting activities and events, such as the sales of foodstuffs, car washes, raffles, casino nights, auctions, and pledge drives, evolving towards more sophisticated ways to fundraise, such as targeting solicitations, using patronage levels, crowd-funding, and tax planning, such as conservation easements, lending arrangements, and charitable gift annuities.

SPECIAL COMMUNITY REPORT FOR NONPROFIT LEADERS Table of Contents 5 Featured Initiatives 24 2017 Financial Highlights 26 2018 Governing Committee SPECIAL COMMUNITY REPORT FOR NONPROFIT LEADERS The Columbus Foundation is committed to helping people help others. It’s what we do. It’s what we’ve done for the past 75 years, since, in the midst of the turmoil and strife of WWII, a group of brave and committed citizens from our community gathered together to say “yes, we can, and, yes, we will do more to help each other.” Since our founding in 1943, our mission has been to help individuals, families, and businesses realize their charitable potential. We also proudly support and invest in nonprofits, like you, who work to strengthen our community for all. It’s our passion, and it’s what we will continue to do for the next 75 years, with Columbus and for Columbus. Together, we will realize our full potential to do more for others, to give more of ourselves, and to be #MoreGenerous. 3 We introduce the first crowdfunding platform for central Ohio causes. Better Together connects you to real-time projects creating good in our community. The Columbus Foundation’s new crowdfunding platform makes it easy to support nonprofit projects by credit card, starting at just $20.

Eight Mechanisms That Drive Charitable Giving René Bekkers
Eight Mechanisms That Drive Charitable Giving* René Bekkers and Pamala Wiepking An overwhelming body of knowledge is available on philanthropy in the social sciences. Research on philanthropy appears in journals from very different disciplines. We present an overview of research on determinants of charitable giving from all disciplines. Why Do People Give? Experiments in economics, sociology, social psychology, biology, and marketing have shown how situations can be created that encourage giving. The situations in these experiments are created by researchers, which allows for causal inferences about determinants of giving. From these experiments, conclusions can be drawn about why people give. We reviewed this literature and identify eight mechanisms as the key mechanisms that have been studied as determinants of philanthropy. They are (a) awareness of need; (b) solicitation; (c) costs and benefits; (d) altruism; (e) reputation; (f) psychological benefits; (g) values; (h) efficacy. Below we present the eight mechanisms that drive giving. The order in which the eight mechanisms are presented does not reflect the importance or causal strength of the mechanisms. Rather, the order corresponds to the chronological order in which they affect giving in the typical act of donation. For each mechanism, we present the main effect. In many cases, these main effects can be moderated (or sometimes mediated) by other factors. Moderating factors are factors that weaken or strengthen the effect of the mechanism: conditions or personal characteristics that interact with the main effect. Mechanism 1: Awareness of Need Awareness of need is a first prerequisite for philanthropy. People have to become aware of a need for support.
