By Harvy Lipman
Nearly 60 percent of Americans believe that a charity should return a donor's money if the organization intentionally ignores what the donor wanted done with the money.
Ninety-seven percent of Americans say that if charities spend donations on unauthorized projects that would be a 'serious' matter, according to the survey, which was conducted by the Zogby International polling firm.
Nearly 80 percent said they would stop giving to a charity that accepts contributions for one purpose and uses the money for something else. And 72 percent said the managers of such an organization should be held legally or criminally liable."
