- Charitable giving is one of the best ways to support groups and causes, both domestically and abroad, but it must be done safely.
- Since 9/11, charitable giving has been closely monitored, so it is important to know the details when it comes to sending money.
HOW CAN I CHECK THAT MY DONATIONS ARE SAFE?
- Before donating, make sure that the organization you are donating to is not a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization or on the U.S. Sanctions list.
- Be mindful of who you are donating to and what the money is used for. It is good practice to include a note specifying what the money is for.
