I feel this is important, because I want to know they spend the money efficiently. Also, the American Institute of Philanthropy has a watchdog report and rates non-profits. Apparently the Better Business Bureau also has a Wise Giving Alliance that may be able to provide some info.

How do you know if it's a good one (effective use of money) or not? Without, say, reading their annual financial records? I recently donated to the United Way, but I don't really know if that's a good place to donate or not. Say you want to donate to a charity.
