MinistryWatch.com's 2008 list of 30 Donor Alert Ministries

MinistryWatch.com in its role as a donor advocate developed this format to highlight a sampling of ministries with issues important to donors, such as being non-transparent, high salaries, misleading marketing efforts, revocation of tax-exempt status, ties to cultic practices, investigations under way, and more. When making that assessment, we came across both the good practices and those operations less than ideal for donors.
