Will your Donation Get to Those in Need?

Charity Scams have been around for quite a while. Unfortunately, because of the heartbreaking situation in Ukraine, many scam artists are trying to take advantage of the situation by pretending to be legitimate charities when they're not. Beware of charities that use copy-cat names that are similar to a well-known charity. Don't click on unknown links or give out your personal information. If a charity asks you to give with a gift card, peer to peer app or wire transfer, it's a scam! Make your donation through a check or credit card. Some charities may not be out and out scams, but can they effectively deliver aid in war-torn regions? Do they have experience getting into impacted areas? Do your research before you give!
