Re: Charities are a fraud

Yes, unfortunately you need to do your homework before donating.

At a place I once worked we were given a list of charities we could donate to.

We could choose a charity of our own but it required a few extra steps.

Doing a quick internet search using '[charity name] + scandal' quickly eliminated many on the pre-approved list and then I looked at the percentages of what was actually paid to the charity and how much the administration of the charity took home.

It was harder than I thought it would be and also very depressing.
