A BLOCKCHAIN-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING TRANSPARENCY AND TRACEABILITY IN CHARITY DONATIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The increasing reliance of non-profit organizations (NPOs) on technology has created an opportunity to enhance transparency and trust in charity donation pro- cesses. Traditional donation systems often lack transparency, raising concerns about misuse and inefficiency. This study proposes a Blockchain-Based Frame- work for Enhancing Transparency and Traceability in Charity Donations, lever- aging Ethereum’s public-permissioned blockchain to ensure secure, immutable, and traceable transactions. By utilizing smart contracts and distributed ledger technology, the framework enhances donor trust by enabling real-time tracking of donations from the point of contribution to their final allocation. A hybrid qualita- tive evaluation confirms the system’s effectiveness in mitigating fraud, eliminating intermediaries, and increasing accountability. The proposed approach offers a scalable and secure solution to modernizing charity donations, addressing long- standing concerns regarding financial transparency and donor confidence.
