I would like to see a requirement for tax-exempt charities (maybe even any organization, tax-exempt or not, that acts like a charity, collecting donations to help with healthcare/shelters/residences/infrastructure/education) to report pass-through granular summaries of material expenses and labor for lowest-level contractors, per project. Each project should state clearly its scope, budget, expected outcome, and final outcome once available.
As far as I can see, not even more honorable NGOs like the Gates Foundation do this. I see their annual report, and I see their financial statements, but neither really gets at what I'm looking for.
As generic examples, "Haiti earthquake recovery" and "malaria program" are not valid project scopes. They're vague umbrella categories that could have tons of unnecessary overhead with many levels of "contractors".
- charlesdm 8y agoDon't disagree, but what you're proposing is also overhead. Not a problem for the large players, but perhaps harder to do for the small tax exempt charities.
