Donation Links

This is why we report the news. To encourage people to give back to the very situations we report on every day. Here you will find a variety of donation links that we will keep updated. We are constantly looking for more, so let a staff member or volunteer know if you have one, we can add to the list. We vet each link we get extensively, ensuring that it meets our criteria. These criteria are:

1) That this is a legitimate organization in an effort to prevent internet fraud. Preferably being a registered 501(c)(3) organization.

2) That 70% or more of the donations which the organization receives go directly to the programs of the organizations, and not towards administrations costs such as salaries.

Unless you can verify an organization, please be wary. Despite some horrific situations throughout the world, some people see these as opportunities to make money. This is internet fraud. While we attempt to do our best to prevent internet fraud on our platforms, there is no better protection than educating yourself. Please check out the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) website on fraud by clicking here! Check out our vetted donation links and organizations below!
