New Feature

This month I am introducing a new regular feature to this blog in which I will highlight interesting and/or useful Web sites from professional journals. The mini articles will be transcribed directly from their sources.

Oh, the Places You'll Go

“Many nonprofit organizations suffer a double whammy during hard economic times – donations decrease but the need for charitable services increases. So when making a donation, you’ll want to be sure the money is well-spent. JustGive can help you identify charitable organizations that work in areas that interest you. The database of charitable organizations is grouped into 19 categories such as Arts & Culture, Children & Youth, and Human Rights. Or you can search by key word or by the name of the organization. The reports vary in the amount of detail. But for large charities such as Habitat for Humanity or the American Red Cross, you’ll get fairly complete financial details. If you find the raw financials daunting, though, you may want to try Charity Navigator (http://www.charitynavigator.org/), which gives easy-to-understand ratings on nonprofits.” –Suzanne Cole
