What counts as field evidence for charitable work?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Field evidence can include dated photographs, video, location context, visible supplies, construction stages, handoffs, cards, logs, and observations connected to a specific activity.

What this means in practice

Evidence strength depends on the claim being made.

A supply photo does not prove distribution, and a handoff does not prove long-term outcome.

Famidi labels what each record supports rather than treating every image as complete proof.

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.
