How to avoid charity scams and make sure your money supports the right cause

1. How to avoid charity scams and make sure your money supports the right cause Donating to a cause close to your heart may be very personal.You've chosen to donate your money only because you believe in a cause. So it's much more disheartening to discover that you were duped while you believed you were making a difference.

2. Donate to registered NGOs wherever feasible, and consult their websites for further information. • 1) What is their goal? The organization should have a clear mission statement that defines the challenges it wishes to address. This is suspicious if the mission is exceedingly ambiguous or nonexistent. • 2) Is there information on the initiatives that they support? The website should provide thorough information on the issues they support as well as the projects or activities they finance. • Check our Website for more information : www.Techmorereview.com

3. 3) What do they do with their money? Most organizations will issue extensive financial reports that include all of their expenditures. If financial information is not accessible, look for success measures related to their efforts, such as the number of projects completed or the number of individuals served. A website that lacks quantifiable data should be regarded with care. • 4) Is your contribution deductible? If you reside in a country where tax-deductible donations are permitted, conduct extra research to determine how much of the donation is tax-deductible and confirm this with your local tax authorities. • Check our Website for more information : www.Techmorereview.com

4. To avoid charity fraud, use crowdfunding platforms with extreme caution. • However, there have been instances of unscrupulous actors taking advantage of customer goodwill. To prevent these bogus fundraisers, ask yourself the following questions before donating: • 1) Do I know anyone associated with this fundraiser? If this is the case, contact the individual for further information about the fundraising intentions. If not, look for additional sources to validate the fundraiser's credibility, such as social media accounts or local news headlines. • Check our Website for more information : www.Techmorereview.com

5. 2) Has the organizer mentioned how the money will be spent? Any crowdsourced fundraising should state why the funds are required. For example, if a community is raising funds for the sudden death of a family member, the fundraising website should state that the funds will be used to pay burial expenses, childcare, education, and so on. The more specific you are, the better. • 3) Is the fundraising target reasonable? If someone is seeking funds to send a children's group on a field trip, $100,000 is probably not required. In contrast, $500 is a pittance for a large-scale disaster relief fundraising endeavor. If the fundraising target appears questionable, it is worth looking into more. • 4) Is the money going to a larger or more official organization? If this is the case, examine whether it is better to give directly to that group. • Check our Website for more information : www.Techmorereview.com
