Abstract

This article attempts to answer the challenges related to the transparency of the management of public funds channeled through the Philanthropy Institute, Sedekah Rombongan amid the bustle of alleged misappropriation of donated funds at the ACT Institution. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research model by engaging in observations. The data was obtained through interviews, both structured and unstructured. In addition, data were also obtained through direct observation involved in the group alms community. Then, the data is classified according to the predetermined problem formulation. Then, it is analyzed and drawn to a conclusion. Sedekah entourage is a non-profit organization that can manage sources of funds that come from the community and then distribute them to the poor who have not been touched by government programs. In addition, the group alms is also an organization that can attract the interest of the younger generation to go directly to the community to promote human values and compassion. Awareness of human values and compassion that is instilled through the group’s alms program can be felt by the lower classes of society. Thus, the community can participate actively to be able to help each other without seeing differences in ethnicity, language, race, and religion. This is the core of religious teachings, namely spreading love towards fellow human beings.
