Good Charities With Causes
Fortunately there are more good than bad! Just do Research!
Having been in the not-for-profit world for so many years,
we have learned a great deal about the many first-rate charitable organizations
that exist throughout the United States and worldwide. Unfortunately the public
only hears about 1% of all the positive happenings that occur on a daily basis
worldwide. Because the press is convinced society only feeds off of gloom, they
all seem to jump on the negative stories, which unfortunately get the most
attention and usually stick in our heads. Of course we need to be informed about
those organizations and individuals that lie, cheat, misappropriate and steal
their way into the lives of those that are generous enough to give to charity.
Knowing the salaries of well known organization CEO's so they
don't go overboard is also something that needs to be more public..

What Makes a Charity Good or Bad?
This of course can
become a very debatable topic and is only our opinion, but if we just start with
the basic definitions available in the dictionary of "Good" and "Bad" we should
be able to get somewhere.
A Good Charity can be defined as: Serving
the desired purpose of the cause. Continuously accomplishing benevolent, kind
actions and worthy of the publics respect.
A Bad Charity can be defined as: Simple...
The opposite of what a good charity is. To
