Heifer generally does not perform a 1-to-1 action with your donations.
That is, donating a flock of chickens through Heifer is actually making a monetary donation to the entire organization. It is unlikely that your donation will be directly linked to a specific flock donation to a particular family (if it results in any animal donation at all).
According to the latest filing I have seen, less than half of a donation to Heifer will make it into a grant, or other assistance to an external entity (my guess is that salaries and benefits at these legally separate entities will consume a good chunk of those grants).
