The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office released some tips on how to know when charitable organizations or solicitors are legitimate.
The first piece of advice from the AG’s office is to ask questions about your donation. Where will it go specifically? Charities should always be able to provide this information to you. Checking registries with the Pennsylvania Department of State and IRS will allow you to see if the organization is registered and if your donations are tax deductible.
New charitable organizations also raise red flags because they may only exist because of a current crisis, the press release says.The AG’s office advises to always make donations on a credit card, never by cash, debit card or cryptocurrency, such as BitCoin.
