How to Find Charity Information on Organizations that Operate in Your Area

Charity InformationWanting information on a charity before making a donation is certainly common, though many people in Atlanta may be unsure exactly how to learn more about a particular organization. The good news is that researching a charity in your area can be a very simple process, with much of the information you desire available at your fingertips.

One of the best tools to find charity information is the Internet. A simple search on Google or another search engine can yield plenty of information on any charity organization in your area, including the charity’s mission, what kinds of items the organization accepts as donations, and the different methods of donating that are available. You can also use charity evaluator websites such as Charity Navigator to obtain information on how the organization utilizes donations for its particular cause. If you’d rather speak to someone in person, making a simple telephone call to an organization or stopping by a donation center can also help you learn a great deal of information about a particular charity. Always remember there is nothing wrong with wanting to know more about how your donation will be used and what kind of impact you make on others by donating to a particular organization.
