As ghouls, ghosts, and goblins take over the night, don’t let scary charities haunt your donations! ?️ Before you give, check the facts. Some organizations may have more tricks than treats hiding in their financial statements. View CharityWatch’s list of Top-Rated charities that use your contributions wisely and make a real impact. This Halloween, keep your generosity boo-tifully informed!
CharityWatch analysts collectively spend more than 1,000 hours each year analyzing and reporting on the financial waste and questionable practices we uncover during our research and evaluations. We warn donors about inefficient charities and publish failing grades of questionable charities often years before they are shut down by a governmental body, called out by a media outlet, or flagged by less vigilant sources of charity information.
These “F” rated charities are thankfully no longer with us. Some were forcibly shut down, while others simply petered out or ceased fundraising in the face of bad press, costly lawsuits, or dwindling donations. We at CharityWatch hope that our “F” ratings and other reporting helped you to avoid donating to these organizations while they were still with us.
