And, as I said earlier, I wouldn't have found WJ's video had it not been for you, so thank you! Yup, there's a lot that should go into selecting a charity as a beneficiary, and more people need to think it through, especially if they're thinking of making a long-term commitment.

It is important that people research causes before they give or chose well-known, established nonprofit. In recent years, there has been an explosion of new nonprofits. And many nonprofits (mainly smaller ones) have similar missions often confusing publics and competing for shrinking resources. Nonprofits sole purpose is to do good; however, nonprofits can and should be managed professionally. There is no excuse for mismanagement with the level of professionals available with passion for going good. That's my two cents.
