How can you tell which charities actually give nearly 100% of what YOU give to the intended recipients?

SQD asked:


There’s so many flimflam charities where the executives live the highlife and still call their organizations “nonprofit”, they throw fancy charity balls with fancy dinners and dancing and I think 0.1 pennies out of a dollar trickles through to the needy.

How can you tell what is what? Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Where can I find a list of GOOD charities?

mickeymousears asked:


A few years back, someone discovered that a few big charities were like umbrella schemes, and the actual cause only received less than 1% of the billions that were earned. I thought they started a website that gave you all that nitty gritty info. Anyone know what it is? or where I can find similar info?

If your interested, Peta.org has a list of charities that do not fund animal testing… also a good thing!
I am not looking for someone to donate to… I’m checking if a specific charity is legit!

What pet charities do you give to, and which would you advise as the best? We love cats?

Fedora girl asked:


The best….as in, which ones are honest and really use your money for the animals? We’d prefer giving to cat charities.

Are charities doing enough in this world?

Andreas K asked:


In this world of destruction we live in, does funding charity organisations like UNICEF or Red Cross help the human kind? Are charities doing enough? And why have more than one world organisation for charity?
In this world of destruction we live in, does funding charity organisations like UNICEF or Red Cross help the human kind? Are charities doing enough or is it too little? And why have more than one world organisation for charity? Can charities stop wars and provide peace?

♥Beautiful Russian♥ asked:


I am a recent college graduate (ok well, today is my last day of class:), and am a psychology major.

I would like to make a “career” working with charities, non for profit organizations…and eventually be involved with the UN.

How can that be done? Where do I start?

Thanks in advance!

kernsjoe1 asked:


I like being philanthropic in everything I do. So, I try to do things that don’t cost me money, but still benefit charities. For instance I use www.thezengine.com to do internet searches. Do you have any other suggestions to raise money for charity?
