Many want to know how they can help the people of Ukraine during this difficult time, but scammers could try to take advantage of that generosity.
Here are some tips to make sure your money ends up in the right hands:
Look up the donation organization on sites like Charity Navigator, GuideStar and Charity Watch. These sites are charity watchdogs and have detailed information about organizations and how well they perform.
Also, be cautious of donating to independent fundraising efforts on sites like GoFundMe.com and on social media. It can be difficult to know if the money will reach those who need it most.
