Finding a trusted charity to donate your money

More than 20 million people have stopped giving money to charities over the last two decades because of lack of trust.  Thomas Tighe, the President and CEO of Direct Relief says there are websites you can use to find out if where you want to give is legit.

CharityNavigator.org and CharityWatch.org are two such sites.  However, if you can't give money due to lack of funds this year, Tighe says there are other things you can do to help in this episode.
