	ALBANY -- Fundraising campaigns for victims of Hurricane Harvey are sprouting up across the country.</p>
<p>
	However, financial experts like Steven Bouchey warn that charitable givers can be easy targets for scammers looking to take your donation and run.</p>

	&ldquo;Scammers don&#39;t discriminate,&rdquo; Bouchey said. &ldquo;They&#39;ll go after anybody for any disaster around the world all they&#39;re looking for a sympathy.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
	Experts suggest there are several ways to avoid becoming the victim of a fundraising scam.</p>

	&ldquo;You want to make sure that it&#39;s an organization that is established,&rdquo; said Kimmy Venter, Director of Communications for the American Red Cross Eastern Region of New York. &ldquo;That has been around. And that has a proven record of helping people in need. And using donations the way that they&#39;re intended to be used.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;The best way to give money is to go directly to the organization whether it be the United Way, the American Red Cross, Salvation Army,&rdquo; Bouchey said.</p>
<p>
	Venter recommends using Charity Navigator (charitynavigator.org) or The Better Business Bureau&rsquo;s Wise Giving Alliance (<a href="http://www.give.org/for-donors/">www.give.org/for-donors/</a>) to vet the credibility of a charity.</p>
<p>
	Experts also recommend similar websites like GuideStar (guidestar.org).</p>
<p>
	They also suggest donors inquire about what their money is being used for.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;Those dollars are allowing us to have shelters open, to be providing meals and relief supplies, to be getting our volunteers into the affected areas so that they can help,&rdquo; Venter said.</p>
<p>
	However, the Red Cross has come under fire its use of donations for previous disasters, including the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.</p>
<p>
	A recent <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-red-cross-raised-half-a-billion-dollars-for-haiti-and-built-6-homes">ProPublica/NPR investigation </a>claims that after receiving nearly half a billion dollars in donations, the Red Cross spent less money on Haitian earthquake victims than the organization said it did.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;The Red Cross has issued a full breakdown of had the dollars that we raised for Haiti were spent,&rdquo; said Venter.</p>
<p>
	She also said the Red Cross is using lessons learned from Haiti as it deals with responding to Harvey and other disasters.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;I think that we know how important it is to be forward facing in how we&#39;re spending donor dollars,&rdquo; Venter said.</p>
<p>
	The Red Cross said it plans to post a breakdown of its Hurricane Harvey donations on its website.</p>
<p>
	Additionally, Bouchey said a reputable charity will not fundraise for a disaster indefinitely. Instead they will tell you when no more money is needed.</p>
