Savvy Donors Do Good Well
Think about it,
- 900,000+ nonprofits perform below average and
- 99% of charities don’t focus on your top cause.
Life is too short to donate to charity wasters and fakers. And it’s just plain wrong that weak charities waste donated money and fake charities steal donated money.
Life is too short to donate your hard-earned dollars to charities that focus on things that don’t matter to you.
Savvy Donors know how to find strong charities focusing on work they care about. Savvy Donors know how to avoid charity wasters and fakers.
Savvy Donors know whether their donated money is well spent. Savvy Donors do good well!
Take a look at Savvy Donor Resources and my free and low-cost Savvy Donor Guides. See my list of top free charity research websites and my guide to finding a charity’s IRS Form 990 in three minutes or less. Maybe even take the quick quiz below to see if you’re already a Savvy Donor.

Do you see the difference between social and cause-related giving, %%FIRST%%?
Social giving: Giving to a charity supported by a friend or colleague -- even if the charity isn't working on a cause that matters to you -- can be part of being social.
Cause-related giving: Giving to a charity working on a cause that matters personally to you.
Tip: A savvy donor allocates a portion of their giving budget (for example, 5% or 20%) to social giving. The remainder would be for cause-related giving (to causes the donor cares about).
