Public charities are required to secure 1/3 or more of their fundraising money from the general public.
You can ask for reports directly from the nonprofit or you can find their annual IRS form 990 on the Guidestar website.
To ensure your information is safe, make sure the nonprofit that you’re giving to uses online donation forms that are Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant. These standards protect donors and make sure data is encrypted.
Donations to 501(c)(3) nonprofits will be deductible. Make sure you have your donation receipt with the following information: your name, the organization’s name and 501(c)(3) status, donation date and amount, a statement that notes if any goods or services were exchanged, and the name and signature of an authorized representative of the nonprofit.
In order to ensure your donations go to the projects and campaigns that you are interested in, make sure you donate to them specifically rather than a general fund.
