Information To Inquire When Giving Special Olympics Donations

By Patricia Jackson


Offering donations is done in different ways depending on their purposes. The contributions help to reach persons, who are not in a position to achieve their goals or even their talent. For that reason, Special Olympics Donations are made by volunteers who are ready to support people with skills but are not in a position to exploit them due to financial problem. Before a volunteer makes a step of giving out his or her donations, the following things should be put into considerations.

Donations that the organizations receive should be for a charitable purpose. To check whether the organizations is nonprofit the donor should inquire about the nonprofit database and checks how the team runs, the benchmark it has achieved in past programs, and how potential clients qualify for their service. In case there is any missing information one should contact the program manager to provide you with the missing data.

To ensure the money you are donating is making positive changes in society, ensure you know how the organization spends the finances. An effective charity group should use seventy percent of the resources contributed in the budget planned and the rest in the administration services. All information on how the contributions are used is found in the annual data on the website, more or so one can seek clarification from the head of that organization.

Be interested to know the mission of that particular organization you want to be contributing your donations. The information about their mission is mostly found on the website. It should be well detailed, and if an ambiguous language is used, an interpretation should be given. Additionally, one can seek clarification in case there is any form of misunderstanding from the manager.

The management should be open on their accountability and transparency practices. The governing board should include not less than six members, who are independent of the organization for complete critical analysis. The donations should not be used in irresponsible activities. A transparent organization should have nothing to hide and therefore ready to share information publicly. It becomes hard for resource donated to be mismanaged.

The accomplishments of organizations assure you their effectiveness in their activities. To be confident on their efficiency the team should always include the third party who will be involved in assessing their programs and how finances are utilized. Further, by making the follow-up, you will be able to know the much the organization can manage.

To be in contact with the beneficiaries of your contributions also gives you an assurance of proper utilization of your donations. Request for their email addresses and mobile numbers where possible. Pay visits to offices of the organization to know if the people are benefiting from your contributions still exist. Ensure that the people you will be consulting from are officials in that organization.

If you consider the above factors, you will be in a position to decide the where to offer your donations and the amount you will give out. A better feeling and confidence is experienced since you will be sure of not investing in a scum or ineffective organization. Give your donation to organizations that are worth their salts.
