Evaluating Charitable Organizations

Some charitable organizations may be experiencing a reduction in contributions due to a perceived slowing in the economy. As a result, you may feel compelled to step in and help one or more charitable organizations in this challenging economic environment.

If you would like to evaluate a charity before contributing, you can go to Charity Navigator at www.charitynavigator.org. Charity Navigator has gathered information on more than 5,000 of the largest charities, indicating how much of their revenue is expended on their programs, the services they deliver, and how efficient they are.
