Ask these three easy questions

What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $460,058 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
