Charity
As we approach the 'giving' season, it's smart to choose wisely in who you donate to.
There are several sites on the internet that help in rating charities.
Charity Navigator does a pretty good job.

The president of CharNav has an interesting blog that gives some background to "the inspiring, intriguing, and sometimes idiotic inner workings of the world of non-profits and charities."

The CharNav site has some interesting 10 ten lists.
* 10 of the Best Charities Everyone's Heard Of
* 10 Highly Rated Charities Relying on Private Contributions
* 10 Charities Routinely in the Red
* 10 Charities Stockpiling Your Money
* 10 Charities Expanding in a Hurry
* 10 Charities in Deep Financial Trouble
Take a look and see where the money goes then get out that check book.
And as Trent Stamp says, NEVER DONATE TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE.
