Return To Charity FAQ Archive   Search the Archives What factors should I consider when choosing a charity? Answered By Aine Churches, Editor Choosing a charity to support is just like getting the real worth of your money on buying something. You need to take into account some factors so that you can decide whether you will support a certain charity or not. The factors are as follows: - Before giving your donations to a charity, you must be aware of how your donations will be distributed to, especially if your donations are in the form of money. Make sure that most of it will be given to those who are in need, and not in the pockets of some greedy individuals who are using charity as "milking cows". You can check it through the charity's track record in giving social services to those who are in need. - They must be transparent when it comes to utilization and distribution of all donations. It will be reflected on their complete audited financial report released in monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. It will also determine the charity's accountability when it comes to handling such donations from the public. - You must consider if they are eligible to receive tax-deductible donations. keywords: Charity | Charities | Donations | Volunteer | Non Profit Arts Fundraising
