- Do not share personal or financial information unless you initiate contact.
- Always make a donation check payable to the organization not an individual.
- Never donate cash.
- Be wary of solicitors who use pressure tactics to get you to donate.
- Check to see if the charity is registered and filing with the Attorney General's Charities Unit. For registration information <https://sites.google.com/a/nmag.gov/test-nmag/the_office/Communications-Division/consumer-protection/charities>
- After tragedies of this nature, there are always individuals who will use the Internet to perpetrate fraud--make sure that the website you visit is operated by the charity you want to donate to. Also, make sure the site is secure and will offer protection for your credit card number.
- Know your charity. Take the time to verify the address, phone number, contact information, and review the website and written material, when possible.?
- Do not feel compelled to give to the first charity you come across. There are a number of established organizations already responding to the diverse needs created by the tragedy.
- Ask lots of questions. How much of the money goes to the charity and how much to a professional fundraiser? Ask who employs the telephone solicitor, if your contribution is tax deductible and what the charity intends to do with any excess contributions that might remain after the victims' needs are addressed.
