PLEASE NOTE: CHARITY NAVIGATOR:
This one is an especially important link: know how your charity rates, so your donation can do the most good…I cannot urge people enough to use this..many charities have such a small amount of money or donations go to the actual cause, they are wasting your efforts to help.
