Buyer beware. Non-profits in the US are required to have all their financial information available, so that you can make an informed donation. Consider this your tuition for learning that lesson.

Dont be coy, just tell us. But unless you could show it was a scam, like some of those Law enforcement call scams, it’s gonna be hard.

I’m not going to pretend I’m not being nosy by wanting to know, but if you think the charity is unethical, perhaps it’s worth sharing what you know.

Unless it’s a charity for some kind of disease that funds research on animals, or something similar where a lot of people are going to disagree on the ethics of it.
