Charity Assessment - Charity is LOVE

Ranked #61 in Nonprofits, #16,946 overall

Effective Charity Assessment - Effective Love

Another word for charity is LOVE, and Veterans. Our local charities are normally the ones we trust the most because we know what they do in our community as a mission, and we know what they do with the money. We know how our communities are helped by them. Or, we will support a charity that our local church is promoting and know their mission and reputation. The local church may reach far beyond their walls to missionaries and humanitarian efforts all over the world. Often the local church will hold fund raisers for specific causes, so you can pick and choose according to what strikes your heart. However, you may not be associated with a church or the missions of the church aren't quite what you want to lend your support to ~ that's normal! I had some questions myself and my research led to the creation of this Squidoo Charity Assessment lens. I'm not recommending any particular charitable organization but would like to help you find one that you would like to contribute to.

Effective Charity Assessment is not a new subject, but it is one that needs to be taken in a new direction according to charities and the giving public. There are so many fake charities that spend the money on employees, staff events, new cars to drive and paid in full vacations. Little of the money ever goes to a worthy cause in some cases. Many people will form a charity and make the name sound as familiar to a well known and worthy charity as they can. - It fools people into thinking they are contributing to a well know charity, when it really is nothing but luxury for some people.

1 Gold Coin in the Bucket

Fargo's Salvation Army gets Blessed with a Gold Coin

Every year before Christmas, the Salvation Army has its Bell Ringers out collecting donations here in Fargo, ND. ... Each year ... someone slips a gold coin in the red bucket. We don't know who it is...they want to be anonymous. I love to hear that good report on the local news.

If I could give one gold coin every year to a charity, I would do it. A small coin, but it is worth its weight in gold. The person who gives that gold coin each year has a big generous heart,
...A Heart of Gold.

Welcome, to... Charity Assessment.

I believe it is too easy to form a charity. I could do it! I just would not have the conscience to do something like that to make money. People do though.

Life of Christ . The Road To Calvery. Charity . Spirituality

We are being warned to watch out for scammers in the Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN regions. The effects of the Red River spilling its banks will long be felt by people. There are local charities that can be trusted to donate to: American Red Cross, Salvation Army, and United Way. - These three charities are not accredited with the BBB and they spend more than 10% for employee's payrolls.

If you know of a family that has lost everything in a disaster, there will be a fund set up at State Bank and Trust or other banks where you can donate to individuals. All of your money that you donate will go to those individuals and not to employees who work at charities. - Its up to you, I encourage your giving, but decide wisely! ~

The BBB is full of useful information.

What an 'effective charity assessment' must ask themselves...

I hope to help you avoid the scams!

Angel Cloud Charity

It is required that a Charity ask themselves, "How well are we doing to fulfill our mission?" The standards are high to be an accredited charity in the US. Charities must meet all 20 of the Better Business Bureau Standards for Charity Accountability.

Effective Charity Assessment is essential especially if you are a contributor that donates your money and time to charity. If, you do, I commend you for being a giver and for doing good! May your pockets always be over-flowing.

Maybe you have it on your heart to volunteer your time or donate your money to a charity and you just need some more information about local charities in your area. Dare to care, but do an assessment first if you are not sure of accreditations. It will make you feel even better knowing you have chosen wisely.

Q & A on Charity Assessment!

Ask Those Local Charities or other Charities some questions.

Baby Snow Angel

Q. "If I can't find a charity listed online with the BBB, does that mean it is not a good charity?"

A. "Not at all. There are over one million charities in the USA, and many of them are not listed with the BBB Online."

Q. "How do I know if a charity is for real or not?"

A. "Get the charities contact information, and then contact them and request a copy of it's most recent annual report and IRS Form 990. It should not take long to get these copies mailed to you if they are legit."

Q. "How can charities solicit donations from the public?"

A. "Public soliciting can only be done by charities that are tax exempt under the section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and other organizations."

Q. "Can I become a non-profit, tax exempt charity?"

A. "The requirements are slim to become a charity."

Q. "So, any scammer can become a non-fit, tax exempt charity?"

A. "Now, you got it! And, that is why I made this lens. The scammers are gearing up again as the holiday season approaches, because they know there are a lot of good people who love to give money for charitable causes during the holidays."

Who doesn't have a soft spot for children?

We all do!

Childrens 'charites' are a popular cause for the scammers to use! Whenever Christmas is approaching, the scammers come out in groves, because most people are very charitable and willing to give to good causes.

I had a phone call from a man who said he was a debt collector. He said that I owed AOL a debt. I responded to that as, "No, I really don't think so!" He gave up trying to collect from me very fast, and that is something a real debt collector doesn't do. I wonder where he would have wanted me to send the money, guess I'll never know. The guy that called me maybe wasn't very experienced because many have been fooled by similar calls where the scammers can get pretty nasty and insistant. Remember, you can always just hang up the phone!

Scammers come in many different masks and forms. Be aware!
* Child Sponcership Organizations
There are good charities and fraudulent scammers. The scammers make a bad name for the real charities. We should shout for joy when we hear about the scammers getting arrested and convicted. The more of them that are off the street, the better! 11-9-08 by Tipi

I can't think of a better reason to be a giver, when I know that the children are our future. This is a picture taken the day that I first met my granddaughter Bailey. Yes, I cried! That was a wonderful day. I get to babysit Bailey about 3-4 days a week. She is in per-school and loves it. Bailey will be 5 years old in January or 2009! How time passes!

When Kentucky and the City of Mayfield declared Sept. 26th to be Kevin Skinner Day, he was also given the Key To The City. They even named a highway after him. ~ Kevin won on America's Got Talent in 2009, and instead of seeking more fame and fortune in the bright lights, he has stay humble. He uses his talents to entertain people, and he helps others. I have been follow this guy since I first heard him sing, and he inspired me then and he still does.

    Charity is definitely not a favour or anything to do with giving alms, it is - as you have explained an act of loving kindness for the needy. That's why it is so important that while donating, you keep your mind and thoughts out of the negative things, it should be filled with compassion.

    Our charitable pursuits vary greatly, but tend to be focused on local projects we see in action, or individual needs of people we know. Children and struggling, working parents are our soft spot.
    We also have concerns for animals, but not through the large organizations. We are an unsupported, unofficial humane society that feeds, spays, neuters stray and dumped animals. In this area, mostly cats.

    There are two charities or charitable directions which I feel very emotionally attached to SPCA - Humane Society and the care of animals who need it most is the first & insuring that all children have a present under their Christmas tree at Christmas time is my second. I grew up poor and saw how both these areas could be well taken care of or not. There is a terrible sadness in both when things go wrong and I want to see as little sorrow in those areas as possible. The little things to go a long way toward making a tremendous difference in the lives of others. Charities and contributing to charity are extremely important. We may not all have money we can give but we all have something within us that we can give.
