Savvy donors expect more
Leslie & Bob, savvy donors who visited the Orphanage this last weekend
There’s a very interesting article posted on the Charity Navigator, the Top 10 Best Practices of Savvy Donors. The practices are:
1. Be proactive in your giving
2. Hang up the phone/eliminate the middleman
3. Be careful of imposters and sound-alike names
4. Confirm 501(c)(3) status
5. Check the charity’s commitment to donor’s rights
6. Obtain copies of its financial records
7. Review executive compensation
8. Start a dialogue to investigate its programmatic results
9. Concentrate your giving
10. Share your intentions and make a long-term commitment
