Charitywatch.org, the online home of the American Institute of Philanthropy, is the pit bull of watchdogs. It rates charities according to a special grading system by conducting in-depth analyses of audited financial statements, IRS filings, and annual reports to reveal how they spend their funding.
Give.org is the site for the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance. It provides evaluations and publishes a quarterly Giving Guide that helps to clarify a charity’s “programs, activities, and accomplishments.”
