Taking The Taint Out Of Giving

Taking The Taint Out Of Giving: "aking The Taint Out Of Giving
Islamic charities are trying to win back donors spooked by fears of fed scrutiny

Last January the board of Dallas charity KinderUSA made an unusual request to its 6,800 donors: Please don't send gifts. The Islamic charity, which delivers food and aid to children in war zones, had just received a federal grand jury subpoena asking its officials to turn over all meeting minutes, tax returns, and other documents. It feared that the government could freeze its assets or seize its list of donors at any moment."
