SayPro Monthly January SCDR-7
SayPro Quarterly Crowdfunding by SayPro Resource Mobilisation Office under SayPro Development Royalty SCDR

Introduction

The post-campaign report is a crucial document prepared after the completion of a crowdfunding campaign. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the campaign’s performance, including key metrics such as the total funds raised, the number of donors, and the impact achieved. This report not only serves as a tool for internal analysis but also helps communicate the results to stakeholders, donors, and supporters, reinforcing transparency and trust. The insights gathered from the post-campaign report will guide future campaigns, helping SayPro refine its strategies and tactics for better outcomes.

1. Report Overview
