We've been warning donors not to be fooled by the glossy appearance of crowdfunding sites with their compelling photos, videos and storytelling. As this news story points out, with little to no vetting going on by these platforms, they can be a very risky way to donate. That's why our President & CEO, Ken Berger, recommends that you not give in this fashion "unless you know the people personally" that posted the appeal.
As a 501 (c) (3) organization itself, Charity Navigator depends on public support to help donors make informed choices. Please consider investing in the future of Charity Navigator by making a donation today. Donate now >>
