2、 some choose not to give yet another pair of red-and-green socks or a peppermint-scented candle, instead sharing the gift of philanthropy (慈善) by making a charitable donation in a loved ones name.Americans are generous givers, with charity donations hitting 306 billion in 2007, the first time the nu
3、mber broke 300 billion. Nonprofit health organizations took in 23 billion of that haul, according to the Giving USA Foundation, a Glenview, . -based organization that tracks charitable giving. This year may be a bit leaner, says Patrick Rooney of the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University in I
4、ndianapolis; during a recession giving falls by 1% , he says.How do you decide where your dollars should go? There are nearly 1.8 million nonprofits collecting donations, according to the nonprofit Chicago-based American Institute of Philanthropy, which rates charities based on how they spend their
5、money. The abundance of options can make choosing a charity harder than selecting a Christmas cookie from the office party plate.Fortunately, several organizations rate charities to help donors select the best ones.In 2007, charity gift cards entered the Internet scene, allowing the gift recipient(接
6、受者) to choose where the dollars go. Last year, the nonprofit charity gift card distributor TisBest.ory helped givers distribute 280,000 to more than 200 charities.Here are a few tips on how to pick the best charity stocking to stuff with your dollars and how to make the process a joy for friends and
7、 loved ones.1. Consider your recipientCharity donations are best suited for people who have all the material possessions they require. If someone on your list really needs a new pair of pants, get them the pants, says TisBest founder Erik Marks. In addition, select a charity that your recipient will
8、 appreciate. When in doubt, Gamble says, a childrens health charity is always well-received.2. Consult health professionals for recommendationsIf you have a particular condition in mind, ask hospitals, doctors and nurses what organizations they respect. “They would know whos doing the important rese
9、arch,“ says Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy. But make sure to ask if your source is connected to the charity in any way-you want the advice to be unbiased, he said.3. Offer the gift of choiceIf youd prefer to let your recipient pick the charity, several websites
10、 will make that easy for you. TisBest and JustGive.org, both nonprofits, let the gift card recipient choose where the money goes. Bear in mind that a transaction fee goes to the gift card distributor, which can be as high as 15% at CharityGiftCertificates.org, another nonprofit. And note that if the
11、 card recipient never logs on to make a selection-as happens 15% of the time in the industry, Marks says-the distributor keeps the money, spending it as it sees fit.4. Do your homework“Any guy with no morals can set up a charity and start requesting really easily,“ Borochoff says. Though most charit
12、ies are legal, what they do with your donation varies widely. For example, Borochoff says, “research“ could mean money for scientists to develop treatments-or it could mean market research to discover how to collect more donor dollars. Similarly, “education“ could refer to training doctors and nurse
13、s or it could mean that every solicitation for donations includes a reminder not to smoke. Ask what the charity has accomplished in the past, what programs youll be supporting and how your support will make a difference.5. Check a charitys ratings“You dont have to go this alone,“ Borochoff says. Sev
14、eral services have done the background check for you. The American Institute of Philanthropy (CharityWatch.org) and Charity Navigator (CharityNavigator.org) send out letter grades and stars, respectively, based on how efficiently charities use your money. About one-fifth of the rated charities get a

16、 donors privacy.In addition, nonprofit groups tax returns are available for download ( with registration) at GuideStar.org, so you can see how much money they have and how they spend it-even how much goes home in executives paychecks.6. Double-check the nameSome charities sound similar but earn diff
17、erent ratings. For example, Charity Navigator gives the Childrens Cancer Center four stars, the maximum rating, but the Childrens Cancer Research Fund merits only two stars.7. Crunch the numbers (计算,盘算)An efficient charity will spend at least 60%, and ideally 75% or more, of your donation on the pro
18、grams they support, with 40% or less going to donate more.8. Make sure your privacy is protectedCharities should promise not to share your contact or credit card information, or at least offer the chance to opt out of such a program.9. Give directly to the charity“A lot of business interests have in
19、vaded the nonprofit field,“ Borochoff says. Solicitors(推销员) that collect donations on a nonprofits behalf usually take a cut. In the case of telephone solicitations, for example, that cut averages two-thirds of your donation, he says. If you are giving through a third-party group, make sure it promp
20、tly passes the donation on to your charity choice-otherwise, the money can go to the middlemans bank account.10. Invite kids to participateGiving children a charity gift card along with this years Elmo incarnation and must-have video games can be a teaching opportunity, Marks says. “Its an introduct
21、ion to sharing, an introduction to love and an introduction to decision-making.“11. Keep the dollar amount to yourselfYou wouldnt tell someone how much the gift of a Christmas sweater cost, Gamble says - nor should you share how much money you gave in their name. A simple note, telling your recipien
22、t about the donation, will suffice.12. Keep your receiptsThe tax break goes to the giver, not the receiver. For donations of more than 250, the Internal Revenue Service requires a receipt for itemized deductions ; for smaller donations, a cancelled check, bank record or letter from the charity is fi
