If you are looking for reasonably responsible ways to donate money - I highly recommend using Charity Navigator which can help you avoid accidentally giving money away to fiscally irresponsible or downright scam charities (cough World Vision cough).

I’m confused, by your link “World Vision” has a 93%/4 star rating, suggesting they would be a good charity. (I have no opinion one way or the other regarding the specific charity in question, however)


World Vision was secretly diverting aid for civilians back in 2016. They could be clean today, but I wouldn’t depend on Charity Navigator to spot that kind of financial crime. https://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/dfat-suspends-worl...

The inherent fraud of not using funds for what donors intend and diverting money from a charitable organization to line private individual pockets can be surprisingly difficult to spot.


For those who might be interested, a similar site for Canadian charities is Charity Intelligence.
