Responsibility of donation
At the summary and commendation meeting of the donation project of 200 million yuan in five western provinces, farmers' representatives from Yunnan, Guizhou and other five provinces presented entrepreneurs and philanthropists with their own national costumes and dressed him up as a "Yi". At this moment, Cao smiled. The recipients didn't know that in the process of the donation reaching them, the amiable rich man kept a straight face most of the time and kept a high degree of vigilance on every link of the donation.
20 10 in may, Cao donated 200 million yuan to poor families in five southwestern provinces 100000 through the China foundation for poverty alleviation. When talking about this donation, Cao said with emotion: "The southwest region has suffered from a drought that has never happened in a hundred years, and the lives of ordinary people are very bitter. When I was young, I suffered a lot and knew what it was like. For some farmers in remote mountainous areas, 2,000 yuan can be said to be their hope. "
Because he suffered a lot when he was young, Cao was careful with every penny. In his words: "If you spend 10 thousand, you will spend 10 thousand, and the province will save one point." In his view, it is necessary to ensure that every penny donated is sent to the person who should receive the money, instead of being "plucked by the geese and intercepted by layers."
In the donation agreement, Cao's conditions are very harsh: the poverty alleviation fund will donate 200 million yuan to 65,438+10,000 farmers within six months, and the error rate should not exceed 65.438+0%. If the foundation breaches the contract, it will be compensated, and the management fee will not exceed 3% of the donation, while the "Regulations" are generally 65.438+00%. In order to ensure that the donation is sent to everyone who should receive the money, instead of being "plucked by geese", Cao Cheng set up a special supervision Committee, invited the news media to supervise the whole process, and asked the Foundation to submit a detailed project progress report to him every 10 day. This donation is therefore called "the most demanding donation in history". Such harsh conditions undoubtedly challenge the current donation system. This also created a precedent for China donors to be responsible for charitable donations.
Cao Wangde said that he hoped he had made a good start.
