Tips from the Better Business Bureau
BBB Tips for Donors in Response to
Victims of the California Wildfires
This summer, wildfires have caused major devastation throughout California. Some families are experiencing great loss and BBB reminds donors to do your research before you donate during this tragedy.
According to Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving, fires don’t receive as much fundraising response as some other disasters. In 2017, a small number of nationally-soliciting relief organizations referenced activities on their websites which describe efforts to help those in need.
BBB Wise Giving indicates most of the appeal activity involves more regional charities and/or crowdfunding campaigns to assist specific families. Nevertheless, BBB reminds donors to give thoughtfully to avoid questionable solicitation efforts.
Here are five BBB Wise Giving tips for donors:
Give to vetted charities. Visit give.org to find out if a charity is engaged in relief activities, for the California fires, or any natural disasters, meets BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.
Crowdfunding cautions. If you are considering donating to a crowdfunding post raising money for a victim of the California fires, it is safest to give to families or individuals you know personally. Not all crowdfunding sites have enough procedures to verify the accuracy of postings.
Charity appeals should specify funded activities. Be wary of relief appeals from charities that have vague program descriptions and do not identify what activities will be funded through the money raised.
Watch out for click-bait or phishing scams. Online giving scams tend to pop up after a disaster or tragedy to take advantage of public sympathy. Don’t click on links in email, text, or social media messages promising to connect you to familiar charities; visit the website of these groups on your own.
Registered to solicit? Most states require charities to register with a state government agency (usually a division of the either the Office of the Attorney General or Secretary of State) before they can solicit for contributions. Check out the applicable government agency’s website to find out more.
