Since it is so difficult to figure out where our donations are going and we don’t want to give up on giving, I thought I’d tell you about two very reliable sites that can give you the TRUE facts on your chosen charity. They are: The Charity Navigator and Charity Watch — part of the American Institute of Philanthropy.
Both are well-trusted, responsible guides to help you in your contribution decisions. (Fortunately The Epilepsy Foundation is a 3-star charity, according to the Charity Navigator and it’s also ranked as a top-rated charity by Charity Watch.)
These days, because of Federal budget cuts, virtually EVERY non-profit is desperately in need of funds.
But before you make your donations, you have to ask: Not how much money you’re giving, but WHERE it’s actually going. How do you know where your charitable dollars are being spent?
