Challenge
Completing regular fund audit activity is essential to an organization’s ability to steward and proactively manage the donor gifts in which it has been entrusted. Through our comprehensive fund audit process, DRG looks at funds and management trends from a compliance and donor relations perspective to identify shortcomings that may negatively affect current and future fundraising efforts. This may include scenarios where funds are not awarded to maximum capacity, in accordance with donor intent, or where the original fund purpose has become dated and ineffectual for your organization.
​
Our team at DRG has helped numerous organizations to assess fund criteria and financial activity that has resulted in flagging thousands of funds with untapped potential, representing millions of dollars of budgetary impact. We can do this for you, too!
