The moment

A charity's whole development picture sits on its annual return: the contributions line, the fees it pays professional fundraisers and what its events grossed. It's public once the filing posts.

The Ledger Pen keeps the independent charities between $1 million and $50 million a year and copies those lines for each one, so you'll walk in with the numbers the board already signed.

Who it's for

  • Fundraising consultants
  • Event vendors and venues
  • Planned-giving and wealth advisers
  • Auditors and outsourced CFOs

What you get

  • Charities in the $1 million to $50 million band in your area
  • What each one reported raising on its latest return
  • Whether it already pays outside fundraisers, and how much
  • What its events grossed
  • Universities, hospitals, grantmakers and government bodies set aside

The outcome

Your consultant walks into the first meeting knowing whether the charity paid outside fundraisers last year, and how much. Your event team calls the groups already running big events.

Questions buyers ask

How current are the numbers?
They're what each charity wrote on its latest return on file, for the tax year stated. Most of the last book was tax year 2023, and the year prints on every row.
Why leave out universities and hospitals?
They buy through their own development offices, so they aren't a fit here. The list is independent charities where an outside consultant gets a real hearing.
Can I find charities that already use a consultant?
Yes. The return shows fees paid to outside fundraisers. In the last pull, 128 charities on the list reported paying them.
