4. A
checklist for organizations
We keep
receiving complaints or enquiries regarding events organized by suspicious
organizations.
To help CID
members distinguish between real and fictitious non-profit organizations,
national or international, we have compiled the following checklist.
1. Does the "organization" have a
legal status, rented offices, salaried staff, a budget, a long history ?
2. Is it accredited by government agencies, the
local municipality or independent authorities ?
3. Who are its leaders, do they have sufficient
credentials, have they been elected by a General Assembly, how many members
voted ?
4. Ask for printed material and signed documents
to be mailed to you. Do not rely on email messages or web sites.
5. Check their web site for a legal office
address, names of elected officers, past activities, number of active members.
6. How do they select members, how do they cover
expenses for a secretariat ?
7. Remember:
- Anyone
can found an organization with an impressive name, a web site and ambitious
goals.
- There are
many so-called organizations who are actually a disguised business run by a
single person operating from his/her home.
- Very few
organizations claiming international status have a large number of members,
official recognition, democratically elected officers and employees to operate
a real secretariat.
- Before
registering for an event (festival, workshop, competition etc.) check if it is
organized by a competent organization.
- Ask
embarrassing questions! Real organizations are not afraid of them.
