Giving - Which Charities Really Help?

Who Gets Your Gifts?

Janetville Pastoral Chat with Reverend Mary Margaret Boone

Great Giving

Giving - the Horn of Africa Relief Fund being in the news daily,  has people wondering:
  • “How do we know whether our money gets to the grassroots and the people who need it?’
  • ‘Which charities have admin fees that are way too high?”
  • How can we know which charities are the best bang for our buck?’

Ways people give is important, and also not getting caught up in boiler room appeals where very little ends up in the hands of those who need the money. So why do charities even use these types of appeals?  Another issue is 'Who is a viable charity?’
