Speaking of charities, are most of them transparent and accountable with the funds they receive? I’d like to see a ledger of where every cent given to charity was used / spent.
- focal 9y agoIf it is a US based charity or foundation you can look at their IRS Form 990 to see sources and uses of funds. http://990finder.foundationcenter.org/ http://990finder.foundationcenter.org/
- loceng 9y agoThat'd be silly to tie such an obligation to support one of the purported most valued parts of blockchain..
- fossuser 9y agoThis is often a difficult question to find an answer for and a lot of the other metrics for determining charity effectiveness are pretty limited. Give well is a meta-charity that tries to find out which charities maximize donation effectiveness and might be a good place to start looking. https://www.givewell.org/ https://www.givewell.org/
- philipwhiuk 9y agoNot that it's not a noble objective. But the accountability stuff costs money which could otherwise be spent on the core purpose.
- ForrestN 9y agoThis. I run a small non-profit. We would love to be hyper-transparent, but there are three of us working full time just to do the work that donors are supporting. We'd need to spend a lot of time and effort to release and contextualize all of that information, make sure it's current, and respond to the inevitable feedback and conversation that would be generated from releasing that information. Everything that sounds like it would be quick and easy, well, isn't.
