Non-Profit Organizations and Foundations - Accountability

Non-Profit Organizations and Foundations - Accountability

Some of the ways that the new philanthropists hold people accountable are:

• counting the number of children taught to read if they are sponsoring a literacy council,
  
  
• counting the number vaccinated against malaria if they are sponsoring international immunization programs,
  
  
• looking at the number of homes that are actually found for stray animals if they are sponsoring a stray animals group,
  
  
• finding out how many scholarships are provided for learnerss when donating to a university.
