They are just lining their pockets hence their reluctance to be fully transparent. 1)Set up a few small projects 2)Take a few pictures 3)Create a few press articles to appear as if all funds are being sent to the people in need Rinse and repeat when the next disaster hits. All charity based organizations should have no problem being fully transparent. Do not make excuses for them

And yet that doesn't speak to your parent's actual question, which is a good one: how does an organization balance transparency and the necessity to get things done despite potentially awful conditions on the ground? Certainly organizations doing longer-term work can afford to spend time finding ways to route around corruption, but that could be incredibly difficult in many emergency situations, and incredibly damaging for an organization's reputation when shady dealings come to light.

  >>shady dealings come to light. Most of the shady dealings that would come to light here will be within the organization. How much time have you spent in the Caribbean or the "third world"? Time and time again I see charities pop up but just to take advantage of donations. Its always easier to point the finger in the opposite direction when time comes for accountability. Expose the shady dealings and set the truth free. Then you will see the "shady dealings" and yes if the organization is indeed corrupt exposing the truth should hurt them if not close them down all together. Let the donated funds go to a more effective and honest charity DO NOT MAKE EXCUSES All charity based organizations should have no problem being totally transparent. Failure to show the impact and details of what was done is indicative of an opportunistic organization that may be corrupt. “Money and funds without obligations and accountability?...Don’t mind if I do!" That is the apparent mindset Sad but true for a large amount of charities

Possibly, but you can be sure the IRS and FBI will investigate.
