# Nonprofit development internships: fundraising, grant research and donor data

## Audit a fundraising dashboard

Fictional donor and event data. This exercise is not an accounting policy for a real organization.

### Donors and event economics

| Measure | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Prior-year unique donors | 100 |
| Prior donors giving again | 60 |
| New current-year donors | 30 |
| Collected event revenue | $24000 |
| Direct external costs | $8000 |
| Assigned staff-time cost | $4000 |
| Additional sponsorship promised but not received | $6000 |

## Your turn

Calculate retention, current-year donor count and two clearly labeled event-contribution measures. Explain where the promised sponsorship belongs.

## Your answer

## For your own application
