Accountability in Philanthropy
Accountability in philanthropy refers to the responsible management of charitable resources, ensuring that donations are used effectively to achieve intended outcomes. It involves transparency about how funds are spent, honest reporting of progress, and answering to donors, beneficiaries, and the public. This accountability builds trust, confirms that organizations meet their goals ethically, and helps improve strategies over time. Essentially, it’s about ensuring that philanthropy's efforts genuinely benefit the communities and causes they aim to serve while maintaining integrity and responsible stewardship of resources.
