What financial records should a charity make available?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Donors should be able to find or request the organization’s applicable annual returns, exemption information, and clear explanations of how financial figures are defined.

What this means in practice

IRS public-disclosure rules establish minimum access requirements for certain filings and exemption materials.

Useful voluntary disclosure can include annual summaries, program budgets, audit information when applicable, and plain-language notes about limitations.

Publication should protect donor personal information and should not expose beneficiary records simply to appear transparent.

How Famidi approaches donor trust

Famidi publishes its legal identity, EIN, program explanations, policies, filing links, and evidence boundaries so a donor can verify the organization without relying on promotional language alone.

This is general educational information. Tax treatment and legal obligations can change, and a donor should use current IRS guidance or a qualified adviser for a decision about personal circumstances.
