Managing Our Philanthropy Sector

Do not let sincere people be victimized by their own “sincerity” by opting for anonymity, which could contribute to the flawed application of the principles of good and clean management in our philanthropic activities.

The recent finding of a case involving a community fundraiser that implicates humanitarian organization Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) has stirred public awareness over the weak implementation of the principles of good and clean management in philanthropic activities.

If this remains unchecked, maladministration and financial irregularities like that found in the case involving ACT could erode public trust in philanthropic organizations. Public distrust will grow even more if this type of case involves a religious charity.
