Vetting Non-profits

[lesliegildea]

Hi Everyone,

We'd love to learn more about what criteria and processes do you have in place to vet non-profits prior to donating.

We do not have Benevity or other budget for tools like Guidestar so I'm curious to understand how we can get scrappy around this. 

Thank you for any tips you can offer!

Hi Leslie, do you have a compass for the organisation?  else may be worth to do some purpose work that becomes your compass to help every decision, including the 1%

Hi Leslie! We are all about the scrappy solutions. Here is a helpful article on how to find and vet the best nonprofit partners: https://community.pledge1percent.org/t5/Pledge-1-Resources/How-to-Pick-a-Nonprofit-or-a-Cause-to-Sup...

CharityWatch and Charity Navigator are  helpful for looking at specific nonprofits' effectiveness.
