This is then bound to be followed by the loosening of the purse strings leading to a reasonable donation. However, this vulnerability to the plight of children is already being misused by several charities that are neither fake or do not use the money they collect for the intended purpose. The potential donor should identify the possible grey area of this charity solicitor so as not fall victim of pranks.
One should insist on identifying the charity that is soliciting for their help. This is necessary since many charities use names that are closely related to those of reputable organizations so as to confuse the prospective donor. Similarly, one should also insist that anyone coming to their door collecting donations on behalf of any charity properly identify themselves. This can help you make a decision as to the legitimacy of the charity involved.
Another mechanism of busting charities that are not committed to the cause that they advocate for is by considering their spending habits. Ideally any children's charity worth its salt must ensure that a considerable fraction of the funds they raise are committed to the actual task of improving the concerned children's welfare. However, a good number of these charities spend the bulk of their money on fundraising campaigns in addition to paying huge bills top telemarketing companies. This is as opposed to the meager fraction allocated for the real job of fulfilling their reasons of raising that money from donors in the first place.
The approach and outward personality that fund seekers employ in soliciting for donations will also give an indication of whether the charity involved is worthy sponsoring or not. There are plenty of incidents when charity agents come to the door to ask for your donation but the way they go around it leaves a lot to be desired. They are not only evasive when it comes to revealing their identities but also seem to be unwilling to divulge much information as regards the expenditure of the charity on whose behalf they work. To make matter even worse they decline to take no for an answer and will even become aggressive taking the slightest chance to utter abuses against you. No genuine and self respecting charities will actually stoop this low.
A good number of bogus charities are taking up issues that are bound to elicit the most sympathy from prospective donors. This is not to say that there are no well meaning organizations doing a commendable job on such concerns but it is just a pointer that they misuse the enormity of emotional effect these concerns evoke in people to get a donation which however ends up in the wrong hands. Disability, disease, missing kids, drug abuse, wish granting and sports activities are some of the most abused topics that bogus charities jump onto to ensure they make a kill where prospective donors are concerned. Before donating, just ensure the charity in question exists within the legal framework and uses the money it raises for the specified purpose.
