Computers allow
us to make
effortless charity
donations from
home.

Since donating from home is a
simple process, digital
philanthropy is on the rise.

Any person can
help someone
on the other
side of the
world just with
the touch of a
button.

Social media
allows activist
campaigns to
spread like
wildfire.

The past few years have seen
some online fundraising
campaigns go viral.

However, sometimes online
charity campaigns are not as
they seem.

Different charities have
different passions and goals.

Not all charity organizations
are reliable and trustworthy.

Donated money does not
always have the effect that it
could.

Many charities
spend donated
money on
program and
administrative
costs.
Photo	
  by:	
  Ross	
  (Flickr)	
  
As a result, only a portion of
donated money actually goes
towards helping those in need.

Many donors
do not
thoroughly
research the
charities they
are donating
to.Photo	
  by:	
  Nicola	
  (Flickr)	
  
Some donors even choose to
donate to ridiculous fundraising
campaigns on funding websites
like Kickstarter.

As a donor, you should know
the facts before selecting a
charity.

Donors are stakeholders and have
the right to understand how charities
operate.

With so many charities to choose from,
there is no need to donate to charities
that do not use money wisely.

Donors should feel
comfortable and
informed about
their donation
decisions.

Although picking
the right charity can
be difficult, digital
philanthropy has the
potential to make
positive impacts
around the world.
