Protecting Yourself from Charity Scams and Ensuring Your Donations Make a Difference

Charity scams exploit the goodwill of individuals by posing as legitimate organizations or causes to misappropriate donations for fraudulent purposes. According to the Federal Trade Commission, Americans reported losing over $300 million to charity scams in 2023 alone, a substantial portion of which involved fraudulent charitable appeals. These scams often arise after natural disasters, global pandemics, or other crises, preying on donors’ emotions and urgency to act. Unfortunately, this fraudulent activity not only impacts victims financially but also erodes trust in legitimate charities, undermining their ability to assist those in need.
