I certainly agree here. Particularly when it comes to accepting
donations, accountability and transparency *are* important. This
information is absent:

- the organisation receiving the money
- information about the organisation itself, including who is
running it and who will be responsible for the finances
- what the donations will be used for

The latter doesn't need to be in exacting detail, but I think it's
important to justify why you need donations, and for donors to be
confident this is legitimate and not a scam; right now that's not
possible to determine objectively as an outsider.
