For the past few years, volunteer activities and the development of charitable foundations have become quite popular. Indeed, now in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the former CIS, a huge number of charitable organizations that are engaged in the help of poor, as well as sick people. In this article we will tell you where the money goes from the donation box, whether it is worth sacrificing your personal funds at all.

Why did you come up with donations?

In America and in Europe, the situation with transparent donations for donations is very common. Thus, it is possible to collect a decent amount of money to people who require this. But only in these countries the situation with the autopsy of these boxes and the distribution of money is very transparent. In our country, the situation is somewhat different. The fact is that now almost all charitable organizations, as well as funds for assistance to poor, sick children, as well as orphans or babies, are engaged in the collection of money directly to certain bank accounts.

The fact is that in this way it’s enough to track where the money goes further, and what it is spent on. Which is almost impossible to do with transparent cash collection. Why did they appear? The fact is that many people want to help poor, sick children, as well as people who need expensive operations. But the use of the terminal, replenishment of the account seems very complicated.

Perhaps some people do not want to shine themselves and the name of philanthropists or people who really sacrifice on something. Therefore, they prefer to receive money in the form of cash. So such transparent boxes arose. Now there are several points of money collecting.

Options:

They are placed in small shops. That is, in the form of a box near the box office, in which donations are thrown
In large supermarkets
There is also a certain group of people who can walk along the street, pester passers -by with a request to sacrifice the amount of money that is not a pity

Where are the money from donations?

At first glance, the initiative seems pretty good, and helps to collect a decent amount of money. But in practice, everything is somewhat different. The fact is that now all charitable foundations have a certain package of documents that allow them to engage in this activity.

They have a certain monetary fund from which they pay money for salaries to all people who work in the fund. Part of the funds goes to cover utility bills, the office is raised. At the same time, the law states that it is allowed to spend up to 20% of the total amount of money collected on these services.

The remaining money, that is, 80% should be spent directly on charity. That is, to help needy people. If in the case of funds that come to the account, everything happens, then in the situation with the collection of cash the situation is completely different. It is almost impossible to track where this money is spent, and how much it is collected in these boxes.

The most interesting thing is that only a small number of people who approach strangers on the street and ask for money, there are at least some documents. A power of attorney or agreement that says that this money is collected absolutely officially. Few of them have reports on where they are spent. Basically, in 80% of collecting money, there are no such documents. Accordingly, it is not clear at all where this money is spent and for whom they are going.

Boxes for donations: Real help or way to cash in?

In addition, there are very amazing research. On the sites that offer work, there are a huge number of vacancies of volunteers. It is written that people who collect money are given up to 40% of what they will collect. Although, in fact, it is allowed to give only 20% of this kind of service under the law. It is allowed to give from charitable products for services, such as renting housing, or providing food.

But more than 20% is not allowed to spend from fees. In real life, the situation is completely different. As the studies show, only 20% of all fees that are collected using transparent donkey boxes really reach the addressees. Accordingly, the most relevant assistance is precisely those funds that are transferred to bank accounts.

If you doubt that these money will really come to the aid of sick children, do not hesitate to ask a volunteer who collects funds, show you documents confirming that he is really an employee of a particular organization engaged in helping children or sick people, possibly immigrants or migrants victims of military operations. Only in this case you can give money. The most interesting thing is that in most cases no one will show you these documents, because among people who collect help in transparent boxes, a huge number of scammers.

How to help sick children and need?

Methods of real help:

If you really want to help a specific child or a person for treatment, to compensate for damage after some accident, contact large funds that really collect this money. In this case, they will show you what this money is being spent on.
Most charitable foundations, as well as volunteers who collect money, really help those in need, have their own sites, forums. It is on such pages that they periodically post reports for help, and what they bought for the money collected.
There are times when they collect more money than it is planned for a particular person. It turns out that more money collected than is needed. Where is the change? Charity funds are not given to families who collect money for the treatment of one of their members. They leave money in the charity fund that go to some regular projects.
The fact is that large charitable foundations are collecting money not for one person or not for a specific family. They have many projects that constantly require money.
This is helping the nursing homes, or children who are in boarding schools, babies or children with disabilities, to provide the state. You can easily check where the rest of the money goes, and how assistance is carried out.

Why not throw money into donations?

Peculiarities:

Unfortunately, donations in the box are not the best idea to help those who need people or sick children. Because according to statistics, only 20% of the money collected reach the addressee, and 80% settled directly in the links of the chain that is collecting money.
According to the law, volunteering is a free activity, that is, they should not pay money for it. The exception is the provision of housing, as well as food for collectors of funds. With this, really charitable foundations are obliged to help people who collect money.
As such, these people cannot have a salary. But sites with the search for work say absolutely something else, that really with the help of these transparent boxes and the collection of cash, a lot of people profit, earning huge amounts of money.
The most interesting thing is that fictitious charitable foundations and legal organizations are opened, which in fact does not exist to raise money. If you dig deeper, then there is no information about the help of these organizations. All these people are scammers who collect money for their own existence.

If you have a great desire to help people in need, or sick children, contact large charitable foundations who can provide you all the documents, as well as a report on where your money is spent.
