Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read these Sankey diagrams?
Sankey diagrams show money flowing through an organization. The left side shows income sources (where money comes from), the center represents the charity, and the right side shows how money is spent. The width of each flow is proportional to the dollar amount - wider flows represent more money. Hover over any flow to see exact amounts.
What makes a healthy financial flow?
Generally, well-run charities spend at least 65-75% of expenses on programs (their charitable purpose), with admin and fundraising costs being a smaller portion. Diverse income sources (not overly reliant on one funding stream) indicate financial resilience. A small surplus each year allows for reserves.
Where does this data come from?
All financial data comes from annual returns filed with the New Zealand Charities Register. Charities are required to report their income sources and expense categories annually. We process this data to create these visualizations.
