“Laurie Styron is with CharityWatch, a watchdog group that monitors charities. According to Styron, with natural disasters come bad actors. With millions in need, know where your donation is heading.”
“‘If a business or a religious organization is coordinating with businesses and other donors and they’re going to take responsibility for vetting the safety or whatever is donated and distributing it to people who need it, that’s ok as long as there’s a plan in place,’ she told our team.”
“For those looking to donate money, CharityWatch has a list of vetted places. They know all too well about scammers looking to exploit generosity.”
“‘Trust charities with good track records. Those are the best organizations to make sure that resources get distributed equitably,’ Styron told CBS News Detroit.”
