ADDITIONAL POINTERS
Never send
cash . If you give online, print the confirmation screen or save the
email confirmation of your donation. It is a good idea to hold on
to a printed receipt in case your computer crashes at tax time.
When sending a check, verify the address if you get it from the charity’s website.
When giving
through a third party, always verify through the charity itself that
your donation was received. Some third parties will redirect
your donation to themselves if their form wasn't filled out properly.
They are under no obligation to inform you of that redirection.
