Americans are the most charitable people on Earth; in 2014 American individuals and households gave an estimated $358.38 billion. However, many Americans never truly know the impact or effectiveness of their donations.
Donors need to be aware of scams and con artists, and they should also be able to discern countless well-intentioned but badly-run organizations that waste hard-earned contributions. It's up to you as the donor to use your heart and your head before you give. Charity Navigator, America's most trusted charity evaluator, provides easy to use guidance for everyone, from the occasional donor to the committed investor. This book will simplify the research process so that you can have confidence in your charitable gifts. In this book you will learn:
- How the non-profit sector works
- How to find the best charities
- Where to give and where not to give
- What to ask before you give
- How to find information on a specific charity
- How to see through emotional appeals and make well thought-out decisions
Packed with concrete tools and tips for charitable giving, including specific guidance on how to use the Charity Navigator website, this book empowers you to make the most of your charitable spirit and generosity.
