Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) consists of a hierarchical structure and link weights which are obtained by a linear programming. The AHP can be used to evaluate uncertainty in decision problems. Using of matrices pair-wise comparison the AHP steers the evaluation of data to the agreement with practical data. The fuzzy AHP approach can estimate interval priorities among the items discussed. These interval weights are interpreted in terms of the concept of possibility and express the range of the possibility. The method decides the interval weights so as to minimize the range included in the given data. The rage of the possibility can be illustrated as the interval or width of calculated values. Today, there are a number of companies which contribute to Official Development Assistance (ODA). The ODA is publicized at each of projects, contributions and companies on their website. Each donation and contribution are opened on the website as well. The objective of this paper is to evaluate these companies in terms of the best performance which classifies the support of donations for the ODA into 4 fields: infrastructure, medical service, education and security.
