It is a good idea to check out a charity's financial information before deciding whether or not to donate.
I am interested in finding out what percentage of donations actually goes to helping people.
I can't afford to donate alot of money to any one charity. If I keep receiving mail from a charity I only gave a small amount of money to for a year or more I don't donate to that charity anymore. I ask them to take me off their mailing list if I can. I think they have spent more money on sending me mail than they spent on helping people. I only wrote 2 checks for charities over the holidays and I asked them to keep my name off their mailing lists. I gave cash whenever I could to prevent getting more mail from charities. I also like to give to different charities every year.
