How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) Ruling Letter
Ensure the charity has a valid IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter confirming its tax-exempt status. This indicates that the organization operates within legal guidelines for nonprofit entities.
Charity Navigator Rating
Check the charity’s rating on Charity Navigator. A higher rating reflects strong financial health and sustained accountability practices, assuring donors of responsible management.
Form 990 Transparency
Review the charity’s Form 990 filings, which disclose information regarding their program expenses, revenue, and compensation. A good program expense ratio indicates effective fund allocation.
State Registration
Verify the charity's registration with the South Carolina Secretary of State. Compliance with state regulations is crucial for ensuring accountability and protecting donor interests.
What your donation funds
Your contribution of $1,500 to $3,000 can fund vital programs such as after-school tutoring or vocational training scholarships that empower underserved youth in Greenville. For example, this can cover the costs for materials, hiring qualified tutors, or providing resources for hands-on projects.
