A Case Study: Are Your Donations Going Where You Think?

I am sharing this article. It is about a case study about fundraising transparency in non profit organizations. The name of the organization is Aish International. This case incites us  to consider how open an organization needs to be about the specific recipients of the funds it raises.

According to this article, it appears that Aish International failed to implement some of the ways to be transparent from the National Council of Non profits. “Be honest in solicitation materials and truthful and clear in communications with donors about how their gifts will be or have been used” . Ultimately, this case study shows us that mismanagement of funding, lack of transparency  and accountability lies in the hand of the board of directors but it can also lead to questioning the integrity of the executive director.
