Recommendations for Effective Giving
Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator, recommends that in order to maximize the effect of a charitable gift, donors do the following:
Be Proactive In Your Giving
Smart givers generally don't give reactively in a knee-jerk reaction. They don't respond to the first organization that appeals for help. They take the time to identify which causes are most important to them and their families.
Concentrate Your Giving
When it comes to financial investments, diversification is the key to reducing risk. The opposite is true for philanthropic investments. If you've really taken the time to identify a well-run charity that is engaged in a cause that you are passionate about, you should then feel confident in giving it a donation. Spreading your money among multiple organizations not only results in your mailbox filling up with more appeals, it also diminishes the possibility of any of those groups bringing about substantive change.
Share Your Intentions And Make A Long-Term Commitment
Smart donors support their favorite charities for the long haul. Again, they see themselves as a partner in the charity's efforts to bring about change. They know that only with long-term, committed support can a charity be successful, and they don't hesitate to tell the charity of their giving plans.
