They (Charity Navigator) doesn’t rate ‘religious’ charities.
I, myself, donate to The Salvation Army all year long and stuff a lot of dollars into their kettles during the Christmas Season. I’ve been a bell ringer for many years, too. :)
Our local guy, Major Paul Moore is AWESOME! He’s done so much with so little for so long that now he can do just about anything with nothing! :)
I thought that may have been the case, but as I scrolled down the list there are a bunch of “religious” charities.(not trying to start an argument)
Anyway, I went to my local, and they are not handling the earthquake relief so I figured others might be in the same boat which is why I wanted to get the link out there.
I usually make a sizeable (for me) donation at Christmas. In order to not put temptation in front of anyone, I use USPS money orders. I sign them Santa Claus to preserve my anonimty.
