How to Evaluate Charities...

I expect this web site will be very informative for you, as it has been for me in making decisions about where to give charity $ where they will be spent wisely...

Charity Navigator
(registration req. to get the good stuff)

From wikipedia...

Charity Navigator is an independent, non-profit group that evaluates American charities. Their stated goal is "to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of America's largest charities…"

…with the mission of helping "donors make informed giving decisions and enabling well-run charities to demonstrate their commitment to proper stewardship" of donor dollars…Charity Navigator currently evaluates over 5,000 charities in U.S.A., in addition to hundreds of organizations with international operations.

The site also features opinion pieces by Charity Navigator experts, donation tips, and top-10 and bottom-10 lists which rank efficient and inefficient organizations in a number of categories.
