Do you feel skeptical before donating to an organization? Do you have doubts that your money won’t reach the people concerned? There is a lot of confusion and lack of trust amongst people when it comes to making a donation to a Non Governmental Organization (NGO). “We see so many cases in the news where the organization is run on paper and the donations contribute to the personal accounts of the trustees. It is difficult to judge the authenticity of an NGO, especially the ones who have just begun or are not that popular,” said Sachin Sarkar, Manager at a telecom firm, who wants to do his bit for humanity but is confused about which NGO to go for.
