Riverbend Food Bank Donation Sources

Riverbend Food Bank uses this pie chart to communicate the mix of cash donation sources received during a reporting period. The four slices are mutually exclusive, so they form one meaningful total and can be shown as percentages. Individual gifts are the largest source, while grants, corporate support and community events provide important diversification. This is a high-level fundraising communication tool rather than a donor database. In a real report, state the date range, whether pledges or only received funds are included, and how in-kind gifts are valued. Avoid putting too many tiny campaigns in the chart; group them into a sensible category or use a bar chart for a detailed breakdown. Pair the visual with a table when board members need exact dollar figures.
