» One way to find a worthy charity to donate to...

To all of you out there who would like to donate to a charity but feel lost on how to find one with which you feel a strong connection that also uses the donations effectively… the website, www.charitynavigator.org can help! Charity Navigator is a nonprofit research group that evaluates charities based on how effectively they use donations. Go to the Advanced Search page, select the type of charity you would like to donate to, for example “Human Services” charities, and type in your ZIP code. Contact the three- or four-star charities that interest you and ask if they accept donations.

Charity Navigator provides helpful “Top Ten” lists as well, including 10 Charities Overpaying their For-Profit Fundraisers, 10 of the Best Charities Everyone’s Heard Of,  or 10 Highly Rated Charities Relying on Private Contributions.  These could be helpful in determining which charity you would like for your hard earned donation to go to. It also provides peace of mind knowing that your donation will be put to use.

Happy Donating!
