Goal: Track Donations and Matching Gifts through the SayPro Dashboard to Report to the Management Team

Objective: Establish a reliable system for monitoring, tracking, and reporting donations and matching gifts in real-time via the SayPro dashboard, enabling accurate and timely updates for the management team.

Action Plan:

1. Integrate Donation and Matching Gift Data into the SayPro Dashboard:
   • Purpose: Ensure that all donation and matching gift data is captured and displayed on the SayPro dashboard, providing a comprehensive view of program progress.
   • Action Steps:
     • Connect Donation Platforms: Integrate donation platforms and tools used by SayPro with the dashboard to ensure all donation data is automatically synced and displayed.
     • Match Donation Data: Link matching gift submissions from employees and donors to the corresponding original donations, ensuring accurate tracking of total funds raised.
     • Real-Time Updates: Set up automated systems to ensure that donations and matching gifts are updated on the dashboard in real-time or at regular intervals (e.g., daily, weekly).
2. Set Up Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Tracking:
   • Purpose: Define clear and measurable KPIs to monitor the success of the donation and matching gift program.
   • Action Steps:
     • Donation Amounts: Track total donations raised, including the percentage of donations matched by employers.
     • Matching Gift Participation Rate: Monitor the number of employees and donors participating in the matching gift program.
     • Employee Engagement: Track the number of employees actively engaging with the matching gift program (e.g., submitting donations for matching or verifying eligibility).
     • Donor Retention: Monitor repeat donations and matching gift contributions from the same donors or employees over time.
     • Impact Metrics: Track the total impact of matching gifts, showing how much the program has increased overall donation totals.
3. Establish Clear Reporting Frequency and Timeline:
   • Purpose: Determine how often progress will be reported and in what format, ensuring that management receives timely updates.
   • Action Steps:
     • Weekly Reports: Provide a weekly update on the donation and matching gift totals, highlighting trends or key developments (e.g., any major spikes in participation or donations).
     • Monthly Reports: Prepare a detailed monthly report summarizing progress toward quarterly goals, broken down by program type (e.g., employee donations, corporate matching gifts, etc.).
     • Quarterly Reports: At the end of the quarter, prepare a comprehensive report for the management team that includes an analysis of total donations raised, matching gift participation, and any insights gained during the quarter.
4. Use Visual Dashboards for Easy Data Interpretation:
   • Purpose: Make it easy for management to understand progress by using visual tools like graphs, charts, and tables.
   • Action Steps:
     • Visualize KPIs: Create bar charts, pie charts, or line graphs to represent key metrics such as total donations, matching gift participation rate, and funds raised by specific campaigns.
     • Track Milestones: Include progress bars or color-coded indicators to show how close the program is to reaching specific fundraising targets or quarterly goals.
     • Segment Data: Break down the data by employee contributions, donor types, and campaign or fundraising initiative, providing clear insights into which areas are performing best.
5. Ensure Data Accuracy and Cleanliness:
   • Purpose: Guarantee that all donation and matching gift data tracked through the dashboard is accurate, ensuring that progress reports are reliable.
   • Action Steps:
     • Automated Data Validation: Implement automated checks to verify that the donation amounts and matching gifts recorded are correct and match the corresponding records.
     • Cross-Referencing: Regularly cross-reference the data from the dashboard with other sources (e.g., donation receipt systems or employee HR records) to ensure consistency.
     • Error Notifications: Set up alerts that notify the team when there is a discrepancy or an error in the donation or matching gift data.
6. Monitor Program Engagement and Impact:
   • Purpose: Track how well employees, donors, and corporate partners are engaging with the matching gift program to ensure high participation and identify areas for improvement.
   • Action Steps:
     • Employee Engagement: Track metrics such as the number of employees who have submitted donations for matching or asked questions about the program. Use this data to evaluate the effectiveness of internal communications.
     • Corporate Partnerships: Monitor the number of companies participating in the matching gift program and the total amount of matching gifts received from each partner.
     • Feedback Loop: Collect qualitative data (e.g., survey responses, employee feedback) to assess satisfaction with the program and gather insights on potential improvements.
7. Communicate Key Insights to Management:
   • Purpose: Ensure that the management team is kept in the loop with regard to key findings and progress toward quarterly goals.
   • Action Steps:
     • Highlight Successes: In the reports, emphasize any notable achievements (e.g., meeting or exceeding donation targets, successful partnerships, or increased participation).
     • Address Challenges: Identify any obstacles or challenges faced during the quarter (e.g., low employee participation, matching gift verification delays) and suggest potential solutions or adjustments to improve the program.
     • Provide Recommendations: Offer actionable recommendations based on data analysis (e.g., targeted communications or incentives to boost participation).
8. Ensure Transparency and Accountability:
   • Purpose: Provide a transparent and accountable system for tracking donations and matching gifts, building trust with both employees and donors.
   • Action Steps:
     • Publicize Progress: Periodically share donation and matching gift milestones on internal platforms (e.g., intranet or employee newsletters) to celebrate progress and encourage continued engagement.
     • Acknowledge Contributions: Regularly recognize donors and employees who have contributed to the matching gift program, publicly acknowledging their impact.
     • Track Trends Over Time: Use the dashboard to track the overall performance of the matching gift program over several quarters, providing insights into long-term trends and growth.
9. Evaluate Program Performance and Adjust Goals if Necessary:
   • Purpose: Continuously evaluate the program’s performance, making adjustments to goals and strategies based on real-time data and feedback.
   • Action Steps:
     • Quarterly Review: At the end of each quarter, evaluate how well the program performed against the set goals, assessing whether targets were met or exceeded.
     • Adjust Future Goals: If necessary, adjust future quarterly targets based on the progress made in previous quarters, setting more ambitious goals or making adjustments to improve performance.
10. Review and Optimize the Dashboard:
    • Purpose: Continuously improve the functionality and user-friendliness of the SayPro dashboard to make tracking progress even more effective.
    • Action Steps:
      • Solicit feedback from management on the usability of the dashboard and the reports provided.
      • Incorporate feedback to enhance the dashboard interface, improving navigation, visualization, or report generation as needed.

Expected Outcome:

• By tracking donations and matching gifts through the SayPro dashboard, the management team will receive accurate, timely, and actionable reports that support data-driven decisions.
• The program’s progress will be effectively monitored, and any adjustments required to meet quarterly goals will be identified and implemented promptly.
• Greater transparency and engagement with the matching gift program will contribute to higher employee and donor participation, leading to an increase in overall donations and matching gifts.
