Closing Remarks: Standards Issue
CURRENTS Article The science of fund raising requires development officers to measure and evaluate their efforts using rules, definitions, and standards that uniformly measure accomplishments. CASE’s Management and Reporting Standards are a valuable resource for doing so, especially for campaign accounting, crediting, and gift reporting. The author, a member of the committee that revised the M&RS, says standards enable fund raisers to communicate clearly with donors, colleagues, and other constituencies, and contends that fund raising never will be a true profession without the discipline of a common language and the rigor of clear standards.
