Another says: "I don't give to such and such a board, because I have read that of the money given only half or less actually gets to the person needing help." This is often not a true statement of fact, as proved again and again, and even if it were true in part it does not relieve the possible giver from the duty of helping to make the organization more efficient. By no possible chance is it a valid excuse for closing up one's pocketbook and dismissing the whole subject from one's mind.

白话
还有人会说：“我听说某个机构只把一半甚至更少的钱送到受助者手里，所以我不捐。”这种说法常常不实，即便部分属实，也不能成为你关上钱包、不再过问的理由。你反而有责任帮助这个机构提高效率。无论如何，这都不能成为你逃避慈善的正当借口。
上下文
洛克菲勒反驳以机构效率低为借口不捐款的心态，强调捐赠者的改进责任。
