[Infographic] A Simple Guide to Great Giving

'Tis the season to give. But as the infographic below reminds us, there's giving — and there is Great Giving. With #GivingTuesday right around the corner, here are some questions you should ask  when selecting a charity to support are:

• How much can I afford to give?
• How will my donation be used?
• Is my charity currently financially sound?
• Am I donating through a middleman or giving platform?
• Is the charity I support a registered non-profit?
• Is the administrative compensation for my charity reasonable?
