| Field Description | Before | After The Australian Centre for Evaluation (ACE) worked with the Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission (ACNC) to see if a simple reminder could help charities submit their yearly reports on time. Every year, charities in Australia must submit an Annual Information Statement (AIS). Even though the ACNC sends regular reminders, many charities still miss the deadline. The goal is for at least 75 per cent of charities to submit on time. To test a new approach, ACE and the ACNC ran a trial. They looked at 15,000 charities that had not submitted their AIS by 3 January 2025. Half of these charities got an extra reminder email sent directly to someone in charge. The other half didn’t get this extra reminder. The trial was registered in a pre-analysis plan and approved by an independent ethics committee. |
