Avoid Telemarketers: Be wary of
fundraisers who pressure you to make a
contribution over the phone. Never divulge
your credit card information to someone
soliciting you via the phone. Instead, ask
the fundraiser to send you written
information about the charity they represent
and do some research on your own. Once you
feel comfortable with the charity, send the
organization a check directly in the mail,
or give through their website, thus ensuring
100% of your gift goes to the charity and
not the for-profit fundraiser.Read
