to Charity? Do Your Research!

the recent flooding around the state and other natural disasters or tragic
events that have happened in the nation, an official with the Wisconsin
Department of Ag, Trade and Consumer Protection reminds people to do their
research before giving to charity. Frank Frassetto with DATCP says that often
charities will “pop up” following tragic events, and some are not legitimate.
He says to look up charities by name at charity navigator dot org or give dot
org before you give. He also adds that under state law, most charities are
required to register with the state Department of Financial Institutions if
they solicit in
or if they have people soliciting on their behalf. Through the Department of
Financial Institutions, people can find out how much of the money going to the
charity actually goes to the cause itself. You can find out more at datcp dot
