I'm thinking about donating to a charity. Ask me for its name or website. Then check that it's a registered nonprofit, what it says it does, roughly how much of its spending goes to programs versus overhead and fundraising if that information is public, and whether there are any news reports or warnings about it. Watch for signs of a look-alike or fake charity, like a slightly different name, pressure to give right now, or requests for gift cards or wire transfers. Give me a short summary with links to your sources, a plain verdict, and the safest way to give directly through the charity's official site. If donations to it are usually tax-deductible, remind me to keep the receipt.
