How should a charity correct an error in an impact claim?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Correct the page promptly, preserve the accurate record, explain the material change when readers could have relied on the error, and update connected totals or pages.

What this means in practice

Quiet typo fixes differ from changing a program result or financial number.

Do not delete the underlying evidence needed to understand what happened.

Famidi should favor a smaller accurate claim over defending a larger unsupported one.

What responsible proof looks like at Famidi

Famidi separates financial records, operational records, and field evidence because they answer different questions. It favors precise claims and can document work through supplies, infrastructure, process, wide scenes, and source trails without demanding maximum exposure from recipients.

Evidence should be read for what it directly supports. Archive coverage is not automatically a beneficiary count, a fundraising appeal is not proof of completion, and one image rarely proves an entire project cycle.
