Where does all the money go? an investigation of donation filtration

Abstract

This paper is divided into three sections. The first section profiles three charities. The second section discusses the lack of established quantitative and qualitative measures to judge a charity’s performance; i.e., the degree to which a charity is successful at accomplishing its stated aims. It then goes on to suggest certain measures a charity can be evaluated against to evaluate the degree of its success. The paper uses these guidelines to measure the comparative success of each of the profiled charities. The third section finishes with recommendations for making charitable behaviours a widespread phenomenon that will further contribute to the success of each organization.
