Donation Value Guide Spreadsheet in PDF 2023

We are collecting all the relevant information from all of our backers and contributors in order to track the evolution of our Kickstarter donations. This will ensure that we have the complete statistics to be able to make reasonable decisions regarding each tier and to give a clear impression of where each tier stands relative to other tiers. It will also allow us to plan the creation of each pledge tier which can be a very challenging task at times, as we now need to keep an accurate view of the funding level that all supporters are investing in the project. What is the current state of the project? At the time of writing this Update we have been able to collect and analyze a total of 7,843 pledges for the project. This figure includes an estimated 50% of the total Kickstarter backers. This means, that we have collected 6,500+ pledges from 2,500+ backers. As the pledges have come in, we have tried to analyze in some detail what our contributors feel the value lies in the game and also as a way to understand how much each backer invested in the project. We have made it a point to collect as much information as possible. This has helped us to put together the following spreadsheets: If any of the numbers shown in the following tables do not add up to exactly 40,000 we have made a note of it. In addition, we are currently doing our best to track in the project what funds were given for other purposes; Kickstarter fees, taxes etc. We hope that these calculations give some basis for planning your pledge contribution. The main sources of funds to date are: — 7,200 from backers in Canada, Norway and EU — 872 from backers in the US — 1,750 from backers in Australia and New Zealand — 2,750 from backers in Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East — 3,000 from backer pledges (from both North and South America) The following table details the amount we have collected from the various pledge tiers along with a reference to the tier that is closest to being filled by the pledges. As the projects' development takes further, more and more tiers will be closed out over time.

Each contribution is unique and can vary wildly in terms of how big it is for the intended recipient. I decided to make an easy-to-use donation value guide to help you determine if donating to a certain cause is worth it if you are not sure what type of donations you can do. It will also help to get you started on the right path when it comes to finding out if the cause you are considering is the perfect fit for you, and should you decide to donate. The donation value guide is designed for both donors planning to give and donors planning to receive donations, so any one of the values can easily apply to you. Just select the type of donation you are planning to make on the left hand side drop-down menu, and the total amount you plan to donate will be automatically estimated and shown. Once you have decided to donate, you will be given a confirmation email, so you can check to confirm that you have indeed donated. If you did NOT want any notifications send out, select NO. In addition, you will be shown additional information about your donations, so you can follow up on what you have done and see what other donation resources are available to you. Want to create a donation flowchart in Excel? Click here! Is the data accurate? At this point I'm going to assume that you have decided to donate to a cause that you are interested in, and you are considering donating to a list of worthy causes that you know you will receive donations from. It is important that you use the information on this sheet to calculate how much you can donate to each cause, because the amount of money you receive from each of the groups you choose to donate to will vary as you donate and receive more donations. It is also helpful to have the source of funding for your cause available — if you decide that you want to give to support a particular cause by contributing to them directly, you can use the source data to calculate how much you will end up donating. What about donating to a list of causes that are not included as part of this list of worthy causes? There are many ways to donate to a nonprofit organization that is not on the list because the organization's mission doesn't include the particular because you are interested in donating to.

Please make a copy of the spreadsheet before continuing to update it. I am using the latest version of VBA and I have my data, but it shows 0 Donation Values. What's going on? This is not a valid Excel file. Please make a copy of the spreadsheet before continuing to update it. Why don't the Donation values change after I donate? It happens because the Value Guide in our Donation Value calculator is the same as the Excel Value Guide. We do not check to see if the VBA file is the actual value that the game is showing. Once the VBA file is updated you will see the new Value Guide in your Donation Value spreadsheet.

You can create your own donation tracking donation values spreadsheet and send it out to everyone with a donation value. Your spreadsheet can be easily shared as well. Create a donation value tracking form in MS Excel, Google Sheets, or Google Sheets Express and send it out to everyone. You don't even need Microsoft Access to open them! It's pretty funny, really. Click here to download a printable template. Are you using a spreadsheet? Can you give me a screenshot? I'm on a Mac that requires the use of the Microsoft Access desktop application. I'd love to have a screenshot for you to see as well, but unfortunately the application has to be opened in the command prompt in order to be opened at all. Click here to download a printable template. Are you providing us with a link to a form? Yes. Click here for a page I've made to provide us with the link for our own form. Why aren't you using a spreadsheet? Spreadsheet software is not very effective. A spreadsheet is an extremely slow, inefficient, and difficult way to track donations. It should be reserved for a select few types of fundraising and not used in non-profit and church fundraising. Click here to download a printable template. Why is the donation link on the form a direct link to my PayPal or GoFundMe donation? The PayPal link is automatically generated and sent by PayPal as they take care of the payment processing. Please be aware that the GoFundMe donation links are not automatically generated. It takes time to generate, so the link will only appear on the form if it is manually generated. If you would like to use GoFundMe, simply click here and then on “Donate Now”. If you want to use PayPal, you simply use the PayPal address found on your PayPal account. Click here for a page I made to provide us with the link for our own form. Why aren't you using a form? Using a form limits me in terms of which information we can share. I also feel it's not very informative, as it is limited to showing the amount of money raised or the amount that has been spent. Plus all the important details are not included. I am simply unable to share all of those details unless I get permission from every individual.

You can use both the original Spreadsheet and the updated sheet (below) after it is completed. This will allow you to keep track of donations received (and your profit/loss). I have more questions/comments? Please email us at, and we can help with any additional questions (please do not post them here on the site).

You must attach your full donation value guide for an entity to have the option to pay you as a consultant (including payment of any invoice or other monetary payments you receive from the charity/firm you advise). You must then give the completed PDF document to the charity/firm. If the charity/firm has a “no copy” policy, they are required to provide your completed donor value guide only to the entity in which you have worked as an unpaid consultant/expert. The final cost of a single consultation is 500-600 (the price will vary depending on the firm you are consulting with). Consultations are offered Monday through Friday and are typically limited to 60 minutes. The cost includes printing of the final document. How are the value guides calculated? The value guide is created by applying our “Largest” & “Smallest” calculations. Large charities typically have larger and more complex value structures than smaller charities or other industries. The “Largest” & “Smallest” calculations account for these factors, giving a fair and accurate value to charities. What do you mean by Largest and Smallest values? The Largest and Smallest values are the “largest potential annual fundraising costs”, “smallest potential annual fundraising costs” and “gross potential annual fundraising costs” of a given charity/expert. The Largest value is calculated on the foundation's current level of fundraising and the Smallest value is calculated on the foundation's current level of fundraising after subtracting any amount that would increase the foundation's potential annual fundraising after subtracting any amount that would allow the charity/expert to offset its current level of fundraising with other funds. The current Foundation level of fundraising includes everything from direct donations to the foundation (for example, to finance general operating expenditures, salaries, advertising and general foundation costs) to general fundraising expenses for fundraising events. (For example, the cost of holding fund-raisers.) Fundraising costs (including salaries and other compensation for consultants, vendors, vendors' expenses and other costs and expenses related to holding the fundraisers) should be included as they are part of the “total operating activities” component of the Largest / Smallest calculator. For more information on how to calculate potential fund-raising costs in this case, see the Value Guide section of our Guide to Fundraising Costs.

The following spreadsheet has been created by the staff of the donation value guide spreadsheet wiki. It features two types of donation value guide spreadsheet's — an example and a full featured donation value guide with all the values, conversions, calculators, and tables included in a quick reference. The sample donation value guide spreadsheet has been created using the free Google Sheets software. The sample donation value guide has been created using the free Microsoft Excel software. The spreadsheet supports most recent version of Google Sheets and Excel, including 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2017 versions. The two different donation value guide sheets that are included with the donation value guide spreadsheet wiki are the Excel and an example donation value guide. By default, the Excel version is created using the free Microsoft Excel software. Other versions of Excel should also work. The donated values have been uploaded to a Google Drive folder. It should be noted that a donation value guide for an organization is not always the same. Different organizations may need different forms of donation value guides or different approaches to collecting donations. A donate link is provided to enable the donor to access the donate page at the Google Drive site hosted by the donate link. The donate page includes the link to the donation value guide (or examples of donations) as well as a link that allows the donor to access the Google sheet. Donation Value Guide The default version of the Google sheet is the Excel Version. The Excel version has all the conversions and formulas. It is important that the donated value guide sheet on the donate link has been created (see above). Otherwise, it won't be usable. The Example Donation Value Guide — the spreadsheet is divided into two parts. At the top, you'll find the donation value table, which breaks the values down into easy to understand parts, or categories. When you see each value in the donated value table, you'll see all the columns with the donated value information. Then, at the bottom, you'll find some examples of donated contributions. Donation Value Table The donated contributions' column represents the overall donation value of all the contributions received by a single organization. In the example donated value table below, you'll see that all the contributions received by The American Red Cross during the period of January 1, 2013, to July 31, 2015, are included in the donations. This column can be easily copied and pasted on other donation value tables to include the donations from another period.

A few of our members will fill this out, you're not an official member of the group! How many people sign up for the newsletter each month? For every month of the year, we'll send out a newsletter. This newsletter will be about the best foods for your dogs, and how to start feeding them those. My dog will not tolerate any brand of cat food, or dog food (except homemade diets, and treats and treats and treats…). Why can't they eat that?! Well first, if it's a new recipe, try adding a little salt. It may cause the dog's stomach to spasm and have diarrhea. Second, what you're feeding your dog is the best thing in existence for his or her health and happiness. I'd rather you try the new, healthy food that he or she craves. Lastly…. Don't eat the dog's favorite food. Should we recommend a specific brand of dog food over another? Of course, but that's not the point! It is absolutely okay to add fresh ingredients to a formula based on what you think is delicious. But, this is only if (1) you truly think the food you're feeding does not have an excellent chance of causing digestive upset for your dog, or if (2) you are confident your dog will have no gastrointestinal issues in such a diet. Should I give my dog food with the words “KM” on it? No. In fact, we're not really going to recommend that. I've used KM in the past and honestly (and I hope this is not controversial), this is not a brand we would recommend. It has been known to cause gastrointestinal upset in some dogs, and we don't think this is good for them to get too much of. Some ingredients are also off brand. We prefer them labeled. I read about my puppy eating the “K” in KM, and I was so worried….should I try feeding him it…? I'm so sorry. This is awful for your puppy. The ingredients are the same, but the way the food is packaged makes it not as appealing to a pet. This is NOT good for dogs to eat. If we saw a kibble with something like this next to it, I would tell you to throw it out.

We will add a new Date field in the spreadsheet at the same time as the main date field, so you can check when the spreadsheet is updated.
