However, the majority consensus remains that Dasuni was simply making attempts to allow donors to get what they deserve – some accountability. Therefore, whatever funds transferred to the “Campaign Organiser” is entirely the business of that organiser and their third-party payment processing partner. So, if Ishini is a bad example of how online fundraising should be done, what is the right way to do it? Additionally, several animal welfare groups such as Tales of Freedom and DogTime too have conducted fundraising efforts which have been carried out with complete transparency and total accountability. As for the fundraisers’ responsibilities, they hold the responsibility to answer the donors’ questions promptly and to provide written or printed receipts.
