Holiday Giving Tip: No. 10

Today’s Holiday Giving Tip: Don’t decide right now.

It’s hard to tell someone who is raising money for starving families that “you have to think about it” … but the truth is, you do! The most help can be done by taking time to really research a charity and make sure it is using your donations in a way that makes you comfortable. Making an on-the-spot commitment before checking out a charity can be a very bad idea.

You want your dollars to have the most impact possible, so research how they will be spent! It’s OK to say you have to sleep on it.
