Why We Publish Open Donation Reports 🧡 🐾

Why transparency matters for TailsPal

At TailsPal, transparency is a practical commitment. When people donate, they want to know the outcome. Open donation reports show where funds go and how they improve animal welfare across Georgia — and they strengthen the trust that keeps the community together.

What we include in our reports

• Aggregated summaries of incoming donations for each reporting period (no personal donor details).
• Expense breakdowns by category: veterinary care, food, shelter upkeep, community programs.
• Project summaries with before-and-after descriptions and qualitative outcomes.
• Notes on accounting methods and how funds are allocated.

We do not publish donors' names, contact details, or identifiable contribution amounts. Protecting privacy and safety is essential.

How reports help donors and the community

• Donors can see tangible results and make informed decisions about continuing support.
• Volunteers and partners gain clarity on priorities and resource needs.
• The public can hold the project accountable to its mission and goals.

How to read an open donation report

1. Start with the "Key Highlights" section for a quick overview.
2. Check the expense categories to understand funding priorities and proportions.
3. Read project summaries to see real-life impact stories and next steps.
4. Look at "Notes and Plans" for transparency about challenges and future activities.

Practical tip: reports are designed to be readable; if something is unclear, contact us with specific questions.

Ensuring accuracy and accountability

• Reports undergo internal review by our team to ensure consistency.
• We explain the accounting approach and decision rules for spending.
• When possible, we invite external feedback from partners and the community.

How you can use these reports

• Share them on social media to help others see the impact and encourage support.
• Use report details when organizing local fundraising or volunteer efforts.
• Offer suggestions to improve the clarity and usefulness of future reports.

Closing: Open donation reports are a practical tool for trust, learning, and better support of animals in need. We publish them to be accountable, to learn, and to grow together with our community.
