Over 60% of Koreans Say They Do Not Trust Charities
With all the scams out there I generally do not trust charities either and highly recommend that everyone do their homework before donating:
Close to 60 percent of Koreans are hesitant to make donations to charity organizations as they don’t trust how the funds are being used, a recent survey showed.

The Korea Association of Fundraising Professionals (KAFP) released the results of its survey, Tuesday, conducted at the request of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. The KAFP surveyed 1,052 people over the age of 19 from October to December.
According to the survey, 424 people, or 40 percent of the respondents, had given donations at least once in the past year, and 56.8 percent of them said they didn’t know how their contributions were spent.
The people who had not given any donations during the period were allowed to give multiple reasons for their decision. Of this number 65.3 percent said they did not donate because of economic reasons and 61.5 percent said because they could not trust the charity organizations.

With Hamas and the Clinton Foundation both being officially-recognized charities, I just don’t understand the low percentages reported… I mean, it’s almost as if government can’t protect us from con artists, terrorists, or bureaucrats…/s
Setnaffa… you don’t give generously to Hamas?
My shares in acetone and hydrogen peroxide producers go up every time Hamas gets more financing…
…so donate generously!
CH, so do theirs… 🙁
