Breast Cancer Charity

You want to donate to breast cancer but you are unsure who to donate to. There are hundreds of charities out there that benefit breast cancer but which one is the right one for you? There are number of ways to decide which breast cancer charity you want your dollars to go to and ways to assure that the charity you choose is above board and will put your donation to good use. First it is important to decide what you want your money to go for, although you already know you want your money to go to a breast cancer charity there are a number of different causes within the breast cancer community and you first must decide what your money will fund.

There are breast cancer research charities, charities that fund education, mammograms, as well as programs where the money goes directly to aid the victims and their families for various reasons. It is up to you to decide where you want your money to go before you chose a charity. Once you have in mind the type of charity donation you wish to make you can find a list of different breast cancer charity groups on the Internet. You should be able to then find reviews of each individual agency that interests you to see how others experiences have been and some of the specifics for each individual charity. If you are unable to find the information you want on the prospective organizations you wish to donate then you will need to do the research yourself. Charities are used to having people email or call them and ask them information about their organization so you should never be afraid to do so. Most charities understand that you want your hard earned money to go to where you want it to go, and are more than willing to answer any questions you may have.

Prepare your list of questions for your prospective breast cancer charity organization and a list of organizations you are interested in. There are some important questions to ask any charity you are considering donating a sizeable amount of money to and a breast cancer charity is no different. You want to ask them if the donation will be tax deductible, this is important even if you do not care, since a legitimate breast cancer charity most often will have tax status, while those that are looking to scam you never will. If they do not have tax status it is not necessarily time to rule them out, but you will want to look much closer at them if this is the case. Inquire where your money will be spent, and how much of it will go to the actual cause you are donating to. The breast cancer charity will have over head expenses but at least 60% of your donation should go to the stated cause, if not then the charity is inefficient you should move on. Never donate to a charity on the phone that you know nothing about and do not be afraid to ask around to see if anyone has had any dealings with the charity you are considering. Many people are afraid to donate these days because of the number of scams that are being run but unscrupulous people who only want your money. Because of this your breast cancer charity or any other charity understands the need to be careful.
