I want to continue to play devil's advocate. I will say I have a charity, the constitution of which allows for raising funds for food and books for children and raising funds for advocacy to look at the root causes of why children are hungry and why there is educational disadvantage. Is there a danger that people who give €500 to my charity could state it was only to feed children and that they did not see that advocacy was included in the charity's constitution? Perhaps a better example is my charity deciding to spend the entire €500 on advocacy and not on food and books for the children. Is it entirely up to an organisation itself to decide where the €500 goes once its constitution covers advocacy and feeding children and providing books?
