Here are four ways to find the charity that fits your life, your beliefs and your wallet.

Have Faith

Perhaps the most common way to choose a charity is to align oneself with an organization that holds a similar belief system. “I choose things that I’m passionate about such as poverty, hunger, justice,” said Chicago resident and stay-at-home mom Nicole Richards. “Since I’m a Christian, I choose charities that help people (in those areas) in Jesus’ name.”

Erin Martinez, a photo stylist from Kansas City, Mo., got involved with Stop Child Trafficking Now (“SCTNow”) because of its unique efforts to stop the demand of domestic trafficking, her heart as a mom and her faith. “If my heart is breaking, how much more is Christ’s heart breaking when he sees this happening? I want to be his hands and feet.”

Since becoming involved with SCTNow, Martinez has seen her family, friends and church come together to fight this issue. Giving to a cause close to your heart and your faith can connect you with like-minded folks, opening new doors for relationships and community.

The Family That Serves Together…

Finding a cause that’s important to you and your family is a key factor in choosing a charity. No matter your marital or parental status, there is strength in numbers. Choose a cause where you can work alongside those close to you.

Whether it’s serving in a homeless shelter with your best friend or helping your child plan a toy drive, your heart for the issue and your love for each other will grow exponentially.

Think Local

It can be hard to visualize and invest in a cause that is happening a world away. Instead, consider investigating an issue that hits close to home.

Katy Raymond, a writer from Raymore, Mo., said, “You know how they say we should all be eating as locally as possible? I kind of feel that way about charities, in general. I like to keep it close to home, for the most part, which is why we’ve enjoyed helping Mercy & Truth Medical Missions [an organization based in Kansas City, Mo., which serves the uninsured both locally and internationally].”

No doubt about it, there is someone in your community who needs help, and there may already be an established organization where you can invest your time and resources. Though it may seem that a crisis across the globe is more dire, as you see a need and solution up close and personal, investing in a local charity may end up impacting your heart more than your wallet.

Seek Financial Accountability

Fraud is widespread, even within the charitable community. According to the Federal Trade Commission, officials brought 76 actions against purported charities in 2009 alone. Beware of organizations that can’t show where and how financial contributions are distributed. An organization with membership to a financial accountability oversight group protects your wallet, as well as the cause it’s seeking to impact.

Federal agencies like The Better Business Bureau, or accountability groups like the ECFA, can verify the legitimacy of an organization and provide a financial history. Kiva, a popular microfinancing charity, not only has financial accountability, but it also offers a return on your investment!

“Tainted Love” exposes the dirty little secret that America is enslaving hundreds of thousands of children as sex slaves. Join the abolition effort as we fight to set them free.

The Facts

• The International Labor Organization estimates that there are at least 12.3 million adults and children in forced labor, bonded labor, and commercial sexual servitude at any given time. Of these, 1.4 million are victims of commercial sexual servitude. Also, 56% of all forced labor victims are women and girls. In the case of all forced labor, 40-50% of persons exploited may be children.

• The average age of a trafficked victim is 12-14 years old, and there are girls as young as 5 and 6 years old in the U.S. that are forced to do sexual acts for economic gain by their pimp. (U.S. Department of Justice)

• In 2005, the Department of Justice reported that there have been an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 sex slaves in the U.S. since 2001.

• 1 in 12 youth experienced sexual victimization, including sexual assault and attempted or completed rape. (Crimes Against Children Research Center)

• UNICEF reports approximately 30 million children have lost their childhood through sexual exploitation over the past 30 years.

SJC Drums has produced custom drum sets for famous celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, P. Diddy, Snoop Dogg, The Ramones and others. Started in 2000 by two brothers in their grandmother’s basement in Dudley, Mass., the SJC crew offers unlimited options for custom drum kits and services more than 1,700 artists.

A report from United States Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) shows that nearly half – 48 percent – of human trafficking allegations investigated between January 2008 and June 2010 involved allegations of adult prostitution, the Bureau said; 40 percent of cases pursued during that same time period involved children.

The report, Characteristics of Suspected Human Trafficking Incidents, 2008-2010 (NCJ 233732), was written by BJS statisticians Duren Banks and Tracey Kyckelhahn. The report can be found at http://www.bjs.gov.
