Thankyou steev! I always appreciate your input. Please do have a think about it and get back to me if you have any awesome ideas,or if you meet anyone who you think would like to check it out. In terms of 'verifying the charities' I addressed it a bit in my reply to @grampo below, but essentially I feel that official lines of verification and certification have almost always been proven to be hackable. I have proposed 'proven earnest endeavour' which seeks to be a more intuitive human approach that is transparent to the public and allows for their input. Essentially we already have this sort of system on HIVE. Anyone can check the wallet transactions of the team who is performing the curation. Anyone can begin a public discussion with the team if they have concerns over a certain project or individuals involved, and progress can be made intuitively (not always comfortably) by the HIVE mind. I cant imagine a better long term, sustainable, trustworthy verification device than the public eye! In fact I think theres some kind of data about the incredible power of hivemind decision making to outcompete individuals with high IQ when it comes to decision making. Are we ready to trust the HIVEmind?

@papilloncharity may have some input as a charity with long experience of Steem and Hive.
Thankyou steev, Ive just got in contact with them and made a donation!!@chocolatescorpi did you see this one already? And the @combination weekly charity giveaway that supports it.
@steevc
Thank you kindly for the mention Sir Steve!
@basilmarples
I just came on and have not looked at the donations yet, but thank you kindly.
After volunteering at two charities, I decided to start The Papillon Foundation in 2001 and was legally registered in our country, "South Africa" in 2002.
Aware of all the scams and corruption, @papilloncharity has a board of members for accountability purposes/advice and an idependendent, registered public auditor.
We also submit our Annual Reports, including financials, to government every year, including minutes of our board meetings.
This is not just talk as you are most welcome to check it out.
I am now 22 years in the charity fields and know most of the scams and the tricks, as we as a charity have also been scammed a few times in the early existence of Papillon. But we wrote it off as school fees and continued with our work.
Papillon have been investigated and declared verified on steemit and is now on Hive.
We never plead for Hive donations and we don't take anything from the rewards pool. Instead we have developed a project where we now give back to our donors and we build the Hive rewards pool.
The Papillon Foundation, after an intensive investigation was also awarded a medal and rewarded with the title "Top Rated NPO" in the USA.
You are welcome to Google, "The Papillon Foundation" South Africa.
And our website is, http://www.papillonfoundation.com
For Hive references kindly contact me.
All of the above is only to verify our authenticity
Kind regards!
Hi @papilloncharity,
I will put you on the whitelist!
Sorry for rejecting you first. I don't allways have the time to investigate each project.
Now you convinced me.
With my next posts you will appear in "my list if trustworthies".
Also we need people with your experience. I hope you can give us some ideas how we can preceed with charity on hive.

Hi Achim.
Situation accepted and please be aware that I am never going to ask you for your money.
We only have people that are willing to support our work and many of them here on Hive are with us way before steemit and Hive was even started.
We are careful of charities that ask for money, as I see that you are also.
Have a look at this post and maybe it will give you an idea about the things that charities need before we help them. Yes, Papillon also support other charities, but they must have the right documents.

I posted this yesterday on the @papilloncharity page and hope that it can be of help to you!
Hi @papilloncharity,
Please use the hashtag #chary for posts like this (were you give a good proof of charity)
Then you get some CHARY token and your post appear on https://chary.org.
If you don't want the token you can just ignore it or burn it. But you can also stake it to get chary voting power.
Or you can donate it to people/projects from which you think they deserve it.
Regards, Achim
Hi Achim
Thank you and will do. I will also go and edit the current post with the #chary tag, as it is important for charities to see that they have to have a traceable charity registration number in their own countries,/
