Knitting Institute: Forum: Safety Tips When Asked for a Donation

Message

You can make sure your hard earned money gets into the right hands with
these seven safety tips when asked for a donation.

1. Asking for their identification is a must. The organization AND the
solicitor. Find out what the purpose of the charity is and how funds are used
and allocated.

2. Ask if contributions are tax deductible

3. If you’re not convinced by their answers…DON’T GIVE A DONATION.

4. Give to charities and foundations you know.

5. Do a web search and some checking if you’ve never heard of the charity
before or if it is a name that is similar to the ones you know of.
Thanks,
Israel Charity
