Charity appeal campaign tracker template

A fundraising appeal needs a clear target, a plan of pushes and a way to see what is working while there is still time to act. This board tracks an eight-week appeal on a thermometer, shows weekly income with each push such as the launch email, appeal letter and match funding day marked above its week, and compares each channel's target, income and donor numbers, with the actions for the final two weeks.

This is a planning example, not legal, tax or fundraising regulation advice. Check Gift Aid, data protection and fundraising rules where you work.

  3. Act on what works

    Compare channels each week and move effort into the ones ahead of target before the final push.
