A real organization will be happy to send you information. Be suspicious if an organization will not provide information about charitable programs and finances upon request.\r\n\r\n<strong>Know Where Your Money Will Go:</strong> Find out from the charity what they plan to do with your money, including the services and organizations your donation will support.
