Start with records
Inspect the campaign, designation, amount and status in donor and Community Funding records. Distinguish commitments from completed payments and refunds from available funds. Restrict donor access by responsibility; communications work does not require copying all payment details.
Respect preferences
Review recorded communication choices before outreach. Anonymous public listing does not mean no internal transaction record exists. Handle impact-update preferences according to organization rules. Keep receipts and financial questions separate from optional promotional messages.
Write an update
Explain what happened, when and what remains. Use approved photos and evidence for that campaign. Review before publishing: a private saved update is not public. Avoid implying that an individual gift paid for a particular item unless records support that allocation.
Build an impact report
Combine activities, measured results, reporting periods and limitations. Explain measurement and separate outcomes from service counts and goals. Check Awards and reporting commitments where relevant. Public donor reports should not expose private beneficiary or financial records.
Use learning
Identify useful evidence, supporter questions and missing information. Update working records through review. Reuse supported facts without presenting an old period as a new result. A regular review habit makes the next campaign easier to prepare.
