Lupus Research Alliance was named by Consumer Reports as one of the best five health organizations to donate to in 2018. This blue-chip recognition is based on ratings by independent watchdog groups like BBB Wise Giving Alliance and CharityWatch.
“Choosing charities by name alone is a mistake some donors make, and their money sometimes ends up going to less-than-worthy groups. Those organizations perhaps spend too much on administrative costs or are outright scammers,” says Bennett Weiner, chief operating officer of the charity watchdog BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
