Want to help Ukraine? Here's a list of charitable organizations to support
You want to donate to help in the Ukraine, but where do you start? Here are some tips to avoid scammers -- and a list of valid charitable organizations doing good work in the Ukraine.
Posted — UpdatedUkraine is almost a half a world away – but the images of babies born in makeshift bunkers, civilians soldiering up and the tearful goodbyes at the border have touched the hearts of many right here in the Triangle.
Some have taken to the streets in protest, and others are sending financial support. However, before you donate, be sure to take moment to make sure your money is going to those in need –– and not to a scammer.
“Scamming is a billion-dollar business and unfortunately a lot of it is due to charity scams,” warns Alyssa Parker, director of communications for the Better Business Bureau of Easter North Carolina.
Take time do research before donating via social media or crowd funding website.
“The easiest is not always the best way,” Parker said. “GoFundMe does a pretty good job of trying to get rid of those scam websites, but some get through because it’s a lot to vet through.”
