Donors can visit our Track page and click to see the financial reports of the NGOs they have contributed to. The quarterly reports feature everything from donor names to project stories, making them an excellent way to stay engaged with the NGOs you donate to. Allowing donors to track how their money was used also gives donors extra assurance that 100% of donations reach the NGO or project they were meant for.

Donation amounts are updated weekly and made public on the program's page. Both donors and NGOs have access to the information on the website and can verify the amount given and received. NGOs have access to this public information to check for any discrepancies and confirm the donation received matches. Making this information public allows for donors and NGOs to be rest assured that it is indeed 100%.

Financial and program reports on all Partner NGO programs are compiled by the Transparent Fish Fund. Transparent Fish Fund staffs are in charge of ensuring rigorous accounting transparency and due diligence, the results of which are made public via blogs and videos. All the information pertaining to each NGO program is further consolidated and organized chronologically by the months into one Donor Report Book for each fiscal year. For either a thorough study or a casual understanding of particular NGO program, the Donor Report Book is specially designed for the convenience and easy reading for our donors.

With your donation comes not only funding and encouragement to our Partner NGOs, but most importantly the commitment from them to the donors to follow the disciplines of transparency. We believe this will help lay the foundation for our Partner NGOs to grow and prepare for the growing needs of serving East Asian regions.

Donors will see "TFish Transparency Ratings" for each of our partner NGOs at the end of every fiscal quarter. These ratings are based in part on the number and quality of financial disclosures provided to us by those nonprofit organizations (NGOs). 

Partner NGOs Financial Disclosures
☑ 1. Total revenue, expenditure, cash balance and itemized expense
☑ 2. Donor name and donation list
☑ 3. TFish audit compliance
☑ 4. Sign-off from organization’s representative
☑ 5. Itemized expenditures and receipts
☑ 6. Performance on key project indicators 
☑ 7. Monthly case stories and project progress reports 

Partner NGOs must complete requirements #1 to 4.  If partner NGOs do not meet this minimum, they cannot receive funding from us until the next quarter.  If they consistently fail to meet these requirements, they will be disqualified from being our partner and will no longer have access to our services.

The four-star rating is applied to all Partner NGO programs at the end of each fiscal quarter (three month period). In order to show the historical perspective of any given NGO program, the chart like the following is used to record the ratings from all the previous quarters.
