We’re approaching the time of year when people tend to be most generous. But how do you know that your desire to help … is really helping? That your giving is actually doing good and not harm?
Tuesday we take a look at how the best of intentions can sometimes backfire, and how to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Host Brian Ellison speaks with a reporter who investigates what can go wrong with charitable giving and with an expert from a local foundation that specializes in getting donations to reputable organizations. Learn how to check out that worthy cause to be sure it’s worthy of your dollars.
