If you are looking for reasonably responsible ways to donate money - I highly recommend using Charity Navigator which can help you avoid accidentally giving money away to fiscally irresponsible or downright scam charities (cough World Vision cough).

- jedbrooke 2y agoI’m confused, by your link “World Vision” has a 93%/4 star rating, suggesting they would be a good charity. (I have no opinion one way or the other regarding the specific charity in question, however)
- Retric 2y agoWorld Vision was secretly diverting aid for civilians back in 2016. They could be clean today, but I wouldn’t depend on Charity Navigator to spot that kind of financial crime. https://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/dfat-suspends-world-vision-palestine-aid-after-allegations-charity-money-went-to-militant-group-hamas/news-story/75b1e61d54c908cc3e43bec63e1b8662 https://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/dfat-suspends-worl... The inherent fraud of not using funds for what donors intend and diverting money from a charitable organization to line private individual pockets can be surprisingly difficult to spot.
