Charity fraud awareness, here and abroad

Today is the start of International Charity Fraud Awareness Week (ICFAW), a coordinated international effort to help charities and donors avoid charity fraud. The FTC joins state charities regulators across the country, the National Association of State Charities Officials (NASCO), and international partners in this campaign.
By joining forces, we can reach more people and more charities with information and advice. Money lost to bogus charities and scammers means less donations to help those in need. And no one wants that, either here or abroad.

The FTC’s education and outreach efforts in this area are in full force all year, but ICFAW is another opportunity to remind people how to spot scammers’ tricks and avoid donating to sham charities.
There are tips at FTC.gov/Charity to help you, including how to research charities and check out their ratings with groups like the Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, and Guide Star.
