The holidays are a time where we think of others, and there certainly is a lot of need out there.īefore you take out your checkbook, do a little research to make sure your money is being put to good use.WASHINGTON (AP) - A charity watchdog with an ongoing relationship with the Clinton Foundation gave the former first family’s nonprofit high marks Thursday, after an evaluation prompted by the heightened interest in the organization. Be sure to read carefully - just as you’d take any product review with a grain of salt, understand that some people have gripes that might seem unreasonable to others. You can review complaints about charities at the, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. If complaints were stacked up against your charity, wouldn’t you want to know? In today’s world, you can read product reviews on retailer websites, TripAdvisor reviews for hotels and tourist attractions, and even ratings of your Lyft or Uber driver. That way, you can be sure your charity has an eye on maximizing your gift. When choosing a charity, look for one that dedicates less than 30% of its total costs to administration and fundraising expenses. One thing you’ll want to know is, after costs, what percentage of donations go directly to the cause? Some charities are lean when it comes to overhead - the American Red Cross, for example, uses less than 10% of its budget for administrative and fundraising expenses, therefore spending over 90% of its income on programs that benefit communities, according to Charity Navigator.
