Charitable Contribution Advice
Some recurring news stories are about seemingly legitimate
charities that are reported to be other than what they appear to be. Even major fund

funds they receive to solicit more funds.
Here are five sources of information that might help you to decide
where to share your wealth. I use each of them but do not endorse any of them.
