How to Evaluate a Charity

Beyond the website, here's what to look for

📊 Impact Metrics

Look for organizations with clear, measurable outcomes. What are they trying to accomplish? How do they measure success? Are results transparent and independent-verified?

💰 Financial Health

Check their Form 990 (public tax filing). Is the organization sustainable? What percentage goes to programs vs. overhead? Do they have a reasonable reserve?

🔍 Transparency & Governance

Who leads the organization? Is there strong governance? How do they communicate with donors? Do they publish annual reports and impact data?

🤝 Community & Expertise

Do they work with communities and experts? Is the board diverse? Do they listen to feedback? Are they part of networks addressing the cause?
