What they do
MY VERY OWN BOOK
Are they doing good?
Some important facts are missing. Ask the charity a few questions before you give.
Here is the honest answer: A tax form shows money and paperwork. It cannot prove that people, animals, or the community were truly helped.
Good signs we looked for
IRS warning checkNo IRS revocation warning appears in this data.
Money report from 2012The report may be old. Ask for a newer one.
They explain their jobThe explanation is very short. Ask what work they really do.
They name their leaders2 people are listed in the latest report.
You can reach themThey list contact information, so you can ask questions.
Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- 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.
Bottom line: Good paperwork is a good sign—not proof. The best answer comes when the charity can show what it changed, who it helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
