+1. That's why I never donate to charity. I can't see or control what my money is going to be used for.
That's not charity then, it's a purchase or an investment. On 26.06.2019 10:41, Pau Freixes wrote:
Why not the other way around? Having from the very beginning a clear goal with a speculative budget, companies would have visibilitty about the end goal of their donations. Otherwise is a bit a leap of faith.
Different companies have different needs. Some are interested in investing, some are interested in general altruism, some are interested in directed donations. This just enables directed donations by having a separate fund, which I assume will be reported by the PSF separately from other income. So now we have all bases covered - those who want to invest can continue to hire people or provide infrastructure, those who want to make open-ended donations can use the already existing channels, and those who want donations directed for development work can now choose that.
