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.

And I tend to only give to charities I have some personal connection to: Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (my wife), Atlanta Alliance on Developmental Disabilities (a friend works there), and Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (my church’s international relief org).

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.
