I am watching my mouth. (this requires a mirror)
I am fond of using charitynavigator.org, which gives you, the giver, the lowdown on charitable organizations, based on documented efficiency and capacity. Mostly, it tells you approx. what percentage of your donation goes to the PROGRAM, as opposed to the office and fundraising expenses. When I give, I like the percentage of my donation that goes to work to be high.
That’s not the only criteria for giving, of course, but it gives me confidence that a tzedekah is legit, and not just a piggy bank for some fundraisers.
Unfortunately, I can’t find the organization in question in their database.
