The Inside Scoop
Life With Limits

By: Cam Alyssa Wilson 

Doctors Without Borders is a non-for-profit organization hell bent on ignoring political and social lines to help people affected by war and natural disasters. Their main focus is raising a huge controversy within the organization about money. In order to keep D.W.B. going, they need to have a steady flow of money, but they refuse to take large sums from government organizations for fear of monetary obligations to that country. There lies the problem; how do they keep their mission going without becoming bias and staying funded? 

D.W.B. relies on private donations, pledges, and fundraisers all over the world.

Doctors Without Borders “does not accept money from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, extraction industries, alcohol and tobacco companies, or arms manufacturers. They will not accept contributions from corporations and, their respective corporate foundations whose core activities may be in direct conflict with the goals of the medical humanitarian work of our organization”. Every year, they keep there governmental giving under 20%, but most years it is significantly lower. They strive to keep fundraising and administrative costs low in order to keep at least 85% of the their expenditures allocated toward helping those in need.

On the Doctors Without Borders website there are many different ways someone can give.  They have “one time” investments, small monthly donations, and Major Donors. Major Donors of 5,000 or more have the greatest impact on the organization. To encourage givers to become Major Donors, they have incentives spelled out on there website. They have tax deductions and recognition in there national annual report. They also send out information on their income and spending.
