Corruption to create more source of funding for your hospital to treat more patients instead of just waiting for donations?
yes its corruption and let me explain you why
1) the donation money is meant to be disposed for welfare purposes immediately, investment money cannot be used for welfare purposes immediately
2) investment is not a very simple matter, you need to hire professional people who handle such investments, who is paying for these professionals? oh yes, the donations!
3) the investments do not always result in profits, they may also result in a loss, if such donation money is being used for investment, then millions of donations are being put at stake for a loss as much as they are being put on stake for a profit
4) businesses usually put profits into investment again to gain more profits and so on and so forth, thus investment is very opposite to the principles of welfare
5) a donation which is being invested as i have already stated is not immediately available if it is being invested, it goes directly against the very core principles of welfare and charity
6) if all welfare charitable organisations start using the donations to invest money then even if they are making profits, their welfare organisation will turn into nothing but a business venture and not welfare and charity based on the donations of people who trusted that charity
7) there is no proof that those profits are not ending up in someone's personal profit which gives the charity a very dubious and deceptive outlook
8) pople who are donating are expecting their money to be utilized for charity and not business investment, if they came to know if the charity is involved in such a scheme, will they make donations? i think not!
