When disasters hit, charities should use heads as well as hearts
Cayman charities need to use their heads as well as their hearts when giving money to developing countries hit by disasters, a top compliance officer told a symposium aimed at informing non-profit leaders.
Nadine Hayle, the head of compliance at Dart and director of Special Olympics Cayman Islands, highlighted that some Cayman charities contribute to work in developing countries, such as Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua.
“How do we give in a way that we still protect ourselves?” she said at the R3 Foundation symposium, ‘Strengthening NPO Integrity’, on 14 May.
“You have to do the due diligence with who you are sending the funds to. Everyone has different types of risk in their organisations.
“If you see that you don’t understand the risk, ask for help.”
When giving to Cuba, for example, US sanctions have complicated the donation process because of correspondent banking arrangements.
