Before another group payment goes out, confirm what the money is for, who approved it, what evidence exists and what happens next.
Accountability Checklist
Repeated contributions can become routine even when the underlying project is unclear. A short checklist can help a group slow down before sending more money.
What exactly is this payment for?
Request a specific scope, amount and milestone rather than a broad statement that “more money is needed.”
Who approved the change?
Confirm that the request follows the group's agreed decision process.
What evidence supports the amount?
Depending on the project, this may include quotations, invoices, photographs, professional reports or contracts.
What happened to the previous contribution?
Reconcile prior payments and completed work before treating the next request as separate.
What will be verified after payment?
Define the evidence or milestone expected before the following contribution is requested.
