Secretary Of State Warning About Charity Donations
WEST VIRGINIA....
Secretary of State Natalie Tennant would like to remind everyone that during your charity donation this year, be sure to double check the legitimacy of that charity. Through the Secretary of State's website, you can look up a fundraiser to make sure it's legit and search charities to find out how much they make, how much their administrative costs are, and how much actually goes to the cause it supports. Tennant says, while her office registers charities, it also investigates if you think you've been fraudulently solicited. Tennant says, if you feel like someone's not on the up and up, call the Secretary of State's office and see if that charity is registered.
