I’d like to donate to a local group, but how can I be assured that it’s a good organization? Does Best Friends have a list of approved groups?
Inclusion in the Network Charities program does not indicate an endorsement by Best Friends or that it is a no-kill organization. Best Friends does check organizations that apply for the Network Charities program to see that they have nonprofit status and that they have a mission and programs that help save animals. We want all organizations that are helping to save animals to have a chance to promote their work and do more for the animals. We strongly recommend that you research an organization before donating. When researching an organization, you’ll want to inquire about an organization’s mission and policies. An organization’s policies and circumstances can change at any time, so it’s important for you to become familiar with the organization you want to help. You can look up an organization’s annual reports, latest financial statements, board of directors, and federal 990 form by visiting GuideStar’s website.
