Some conditions of the donors are so bad for the charities since donors want to be in charge of the donation and control how every cent is spent.
Patrick Boggon was on the opinion that donors are supposed to get involved in the charity they have donated to, since it will help the organization to get professional expertise that these donors have. According to advisors of donors and non-profit organization, they have advised on how important it is for the two to agree on terms and conditions before any deal is closed.
