A new oversight committee (the ‘DCC’) for the AVFO ‘Donation Channeling Group’ (‘DCG’) has been announced via an Office Order. Since the ‘DCG’ was put in place by the AVFO, the number of administrative tasks that have to be fulfilled in order for units and trusts to receive their donations have greatly increased. Additionally, several units and services have reported that their donations, particularly foreign donations, have been held up or blocked entirely, meaning that they are unable to receive them and therefore to function normally. This is despite the donations being given from entirely legitimate sources. It seems that the AVFO FAMC and their auditors have also banned crowdfunding platforms, cutting off another vital source of income.
