Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
