Charitable organizations operating internationally now function in a highly regulated world. After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in New York, the U.S. Treasury issued Anti-Terrorist Guidelines to combat and prevent the diversion of charitable contributions to support terrorist activities. The article summarizes the Guidelines and reviews alternative recommendations offered by groups representing various segments of the charitable organization community. The article concludes that the Guidelines should be withdrawn as recommended by the charitable community.
