Find Trusted Charities

GoldFather

I am wondering how I go about finding a trusted charity. I hear all these horror stories about the such-and-such.org charity only gives 5% of your donation to the supposed beneficiaries of the charity.

So basically, what charity is gonna be the most fiscally responsible when handling my charitable contribution?

Are you looking for charities based in the US? This is a UK-based site.

A charity I support is called Whisper and funds education, medical intervention and improves living conditions for children in Uganda.

It is a registered charity here and in Uganda.

It uses 100% of money raised / donated on their projects because all admin and running costs are funded by a private donator.

Their web site is https://www.whisperorphans.org

in the UK you can check out the charity commission website to see the charity accounts http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/registerhomepage.aspx

There's a website called Alive and Giving, that lists charities and show their charitable spend (although not for all of them).

aliveandgiving.com

From there I shortlist and then look at each charity's annual report.
