Sue Barker: charities law expert on Starship Children's Hospital declining a $570,000 donation - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A charities law expert says it's advisable charities have a donations policy online.

Horse breeder Mark Chittick says he was told Starship Children's Hospital couldn't accept his offer of $570,000 dollars, because it was associated with horse racing.

The Starship Foundation says it's unable to accept all donations due to existing partnership obligations.

Charities law expert Sue Barker, says guidance in the UK mentions reputation impacts of accepting a donation that doesn't align with a charity's values.
