Default Re: Reputable Charities

I noticed that the charitywatch.org site (American Institute of Philanthropy) listed Craig Beasley, President and Founder, One IPO, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as a director.

Their most recent information on FTC was May 2005 and was pretty negative about the high % of cash income spent on administration and fund raising and the scarcity of data about gifts in kind donated to and by the organization. Thought it was kind of funny that they seemed to object to Lay's.

Both GuideStar and Charity Navigator financial data was for year ending 2005. That data seems taken from publicly filed documents.

I've never been a big fan of the large charities although I do regularly give to the Red Cross, albeit reluctantly.
