Charity Navigator

Have you ever paused before giving some money to a charity and wondered about how effective that charity really is? Wondered about where the money actually goes? Wondered about how much overhead they have? Wondered if your money is going to be wasted?

Well, you can get some of the answers to those questions by consulting the Charity Navigator. These guys have done a lot of legwork investigating charities so you don't have to, and you can feel more confident in your giving.

As they say it:

Charity Navigator, America's premier independent charity evaluator, works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of over 5,500 of America's largest charities.

Whatever else you do this holiday season, don't forget to share.
