As long as the charities are certified and researched.
Being a bona fide charity in the US does not mean they are necessarily noble.
Many charitable organizations here have horrible track records as there is no legal requirement as to what percentage of the monies raised actually go towards charitable goals.
Many spend as high as 85% on fund raising, salaries and travel expenses for executives.
While Google does not auto complete for anything negative a "unicef scandal" search has some interesting returns.
Agree. For sure. @ironshield
