WILL to donate is common
It is important that they have will to donate.
We think if they have WILL to donate then either they can donate directly to NGOs or Charities they want in their country or any country outside (if they have said it in their legal staement) or may have strategy to donate specific issues, so they can donate it to NGOs issuewise irrespective of the country.

It is important that they have a WILL to donate.
In India we have seen WILL can be challenged.
That is ok in democratic world.
After all everyone has WILL, some to do good, some to do bad and some others to challenge good and waste world's time & money.
