What Non-Profits Can I Trust?

When you want to make a difference in the world, one of the best things you can do is donate to nonprofits that are doing work you believe in.  When investing in a charity, however, it’s important to do your due diligence and make sure the organization is stewarding your funds correctly.  Thus, it’s important to ask: What non-profits can I trust?

In this article, we’re going to help you learn how to find organizations that are worthy of time, trust, and investment.

What Non-Profits Can I Trust?  Organizations that Value Your Investments.

The best non-profits value the investments made by their donors… they see their donors as more than just people that can write checks.  Instead, they see donors as partners in making the world a better place.  Great non-profits provide clear and accurate reporting to their donors, showing how their investments are used and what type of impact they are having.

If you are looking for non-profits you can trust, ask the organizations you are thinking about supporting how they plan to use your money and how often you will hear from them going forward.  Also, be sure that there is a person at the organization you can contact via phone or e-mail when you have questions.

What Non-Profits Can I Trust?  Organizations that Show Good Outcomes.

Non-profits are in business to make the world a better place.  The best non-profits are able to show good outcomes from their work – meaning they can tell you how they are making a difference and show you how they have made the world a better place.

If you are looking for non-profits you can trust, ask the organizations you are thinking about supporting how they are moving the needle every year.  How many people are they serving?  How many programs are they running?  How many lives are they changing for the better?

What Non-Profits Can I Trust?  Organizations that Have a Vision for the Future.

It’s hard to make the world a better place if you don’t have a vision for the future of your organization.  Good non-profits have a plan in place and are willing to share that plan (in broad strokes) with the donors who are helping them make their vision a reality.

If you are looking for non-profits you can trust, ask the organizations you are thinking about supporting what their visit for the future is: what are their goals for the next 1, 5, and 10 years?  How do they define success?  How are they going to accomplish their mission?
