THE NDTA FOUNDATION: WHERE THE SCHOLARSHIP MONEY REALLY GOES

摘要

A couple years ago, several very well-known charities got in trouble for the amount of the money they earned that was actually going to good use (or, more accurately, not going to good use). Many had high overhead costs and, in some cases, as little as ten cents of every dollar was actually going toward their cause. Having worked for a non-profit for nearly eight years, I can certainly understand that these organizations need money to operate. However, even I was shocked at these numbers, and moreover, I was disappointed that donors' hard-earned and well-intended money was not being used as they thought it would. When I sat down to write this article, it was important for me to let you know exactly where your donations to the NDTA scholarship funds go-to deserving students. You see, when you make a donation to the NDTA Scholarship Fund, one hundred percent of the money actually goes to funding scholarships. To help provide a more in-depth look into exactly where these funds go, a few of our past scholarship winners have agreed to share their stories with us.
