answer:Do your homework, before you give. When a charity gives out grants, you can do research to see where they give their money. I used to work with a charity (part) time and helped write grants. One year, the charity voted to give money to an organization that shocked me. From that point on, I was very careful with my money and where it went. 90% of the time, I think a charity is setting out to the do the right thing. The other 10% of the time, it doesn’t mean I think they are out to still money. It just means that I might eye them a little more, before I give. I do not give just for the tax deduction. I give because I am moved by their actions. I give because it is something I believe in, or that my family believes in.
