FAQ

Q1: How does iDonate select charities for rating?

A1: iDonate provides information and rating of local charitable organizations with tax exemption under session 88 of The Inland Revenue Department.

Q2: Will iDonate perform rating for international charitable organizations?

A2: Hong Kong branches of international charitable organizations are mainly for fund raising. There may not be full details about project expenses, and difficult to verify the local administrative and staff costs. Therefore, they are not on our priority list of ratings.

Q3: Will iDonate perform rating for charities which mainly serve the people in need in other countries?

A3: Charities that serve oversea people usually donate or transfer money to charities or institutions outside Hong Kong. Since iDonate may not be able to obtain information of companies or charities registered oversea for further verification of the usage of donation or project expenses etc., we may not be able to give an objective view. Therefore, charities serving oversea people are not on our priority list of ratings.
