As for it refusing to answer your questions, if you send a letter, usually you will receive a response indicating what the NSA's reasoning is and how the funds are being contributed. And if you have suggestions for ways in which the fund can be better organized, make your voice heard beyond a blog on the internet. Let these people know! One important part of being a Baha'i is avoiding judgment of others, and so while if you have questions you must certainly ask them until you get answers, I think it is also important to have enough faith in your institution to believe that they are working towards the advancement of the Cause of God, and operate with purity of intention. All humans are capable of making mistakes, but I think it is very important that rather than criticize the institutions from a distance, that one lets them know how they feel, and tries to understand the reasoning why they may do things you do not understand, or agree with.
