SPECIAL REPORT
The Impact of Your Investment
How Nonprofits Spend Your Money
Be it through your direct donations or indirectly through the United Way, foundations and government funding, we all have an interest in how nonprofits spend our money.
One of the services Tempe Community Council (TCC) is most proud to provide is the annual "Agency Review" (AR) process. This yearly event brings in a large group of diverse and dedicated volunteers who review grant applications, conduct interviews, and make funding recommendations to the Tempe City Council. This fair and unbiased process ensures that the community is directlyinvolved in the disbursement of public funds.
In March 2013, 48 volunteers completed AR for the 2013/14 fiscal year. This resulted in 26 agencies (see the full list here) receiving funds from the City of Tempe to help support over *94,000 clients in the Tempe area. These agencies are supported and monitored throughout the year by the TCC Board of Directors and staff. Data is collected and compiled regularly through an online reporting system developed by the Valley of the Sun United Way. This system allows TCC to track the impact of your dollars.
The chart below illustrates how the 26 nonprofits, partially funded by the City of Tempe, budgeted to spend their total agency revenue in four major categories during the past three fiscal years: 2010/11 through 2012/13. These budgets totaled over $303 million for the 2012/13 fiscal year and range from $89,800 to $42,853,855 in annual budgets.
This demonstrates that the proportions in these four categories (In-Kind, Non-Personnel/Operating, Other Expense, Salaries/Benefits) remained fairly stable over the three year period. Read more....
