BBB Cautions Donors on Tsunami Relief Appeals
It is regular as clockwork. Within days of any natural disaster, the
Better Business Bureau warns that some people will attempt to take advantage of Americans'
eagerness to assist victims of the tragedy. Potential donors should make certain that the charity is
properly registered with appropriate state government agencies, that it describes exactly what it will
do to address the needs of victims, and that it is willing to provide written information about its
finances and programs. Donors can visit Give.org to access
detailed evaluative reports on many of the U.S. based relief organizations providing assistance in
South Asia.
