- Key Metrics:
- Donation Growth or Decline (February compared to January)
- Percentage Change in total donations
3. Set Targets for the Quarter
- Task: Establish targets for government donations for the upcoming months (March, April, and May) to meet or exceed the total donations received in the first quarter.
