Time, Talent and Treasure - How You Can Use Yours Wisely to Help Charity

 
In recent years, we have seen the very best and, at times, the worst face of philanthropy, making our country more aware than ever of financial abuse, misuse and fraud on the part of charities and nonprofit organizations. Many people are more reluctant than ever to donate time, talent, and treasure to the many nonprofit organizations that truly need and deserve help. It becomes increasingly difficult for donors and volunteers to decide which organizations deserve their support and which ones will use their gifts wisely.

How does the thoughtful donor select from among the many charities that ask for money? How does one decide which organizations deserve and need their money and their time? By what criteria can a person judge if their money is being used wisely?

A good rule of thumb to follow, when evaluating a charitable request, is to follow the Donor Bill of Rights. The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), formerly known as the National Society of Fund Raising Executives (NSFRE); the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE); the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP); the American Association of Fund Raising Counsel (AAFRC), and others formulated this document; and numerous other associations representing the nonprofit sector have adopted it. Some key points that can help donors make educated decisions about philanthropic giving follow.
