If you have caught the giving bug recently, you might be thinking of donating to a particular charity or trust. It is not something that needs to be instructed, but you must assert the credibility of the organization you are giving your charity money to. How do you do that? Well, you could ask your family and friends, make some investigations on the internet, and follow the lead. You can also check the catalogs and see if the NGO, charity, or trust in question has won any particular awards.
