There are many strong charities out there, doing valuable work and making careful use of the moneys entrusted to them. They deserve support.
Unfortunately, there are other organizations which do little (if any) meaningful work with the funds entrusted to them. We’ll call these “weak” charities. Some are even scams, dressed up in “charity” clothing.
We’ve created our Red Light warning system to help you stay away from weak charities.
A Red Light means STOP – do not donate your time or money to an organization that does this! We assign Red Lights by looking at the ways organizations spend money entrusted to them, whether or not they follow charity legal requirements, and other activities.
