Charities in the UK are regulated by the Charities Commission or the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and are required to show their registered charity numbers on all communications, websites included. Does nothing similar exist in the US? If not, I've just had an excellent idea for a charitable foundation based out of Delaware. |

Some charities mean well, but simply waste your donations. Some charities have such a strong religious structure that in some sense they are no longer charities. Some scams appear and are legitimate charities up and until a big donor drops a a bundle on them and then just seem to implode like a bust out scam. |

Any certificate should provide information about the charities legitimacy, competence or efficiency, and the per cent of donations going which activities. And still some scams will earn legitimate certificates and then abuse them. |

There are watchdog companies to evaluate North American charities but it is very difficult to determine just how the money gets spent. One charity I am looking into has filed no reports since 07 yet they seem to have no problem retaining their non-profit status. |
