PIFSTER'S CHARITY VETTING PROCESS FOR CHARITIES SUGGESTED ON THE APP

We know you care about where your hard-earned money goes, so we take the guesswork out of giving! That's why PIFster's charity vetting process ensures every cause, charity, and person on our app is the real deal:

Legitimacy Check: We're Like Digital Detectives

• Social Media Sleuthing: We scroll through their feeds to make sure they're walking the talk.
• 501(c)(3) Status: That magic number means they're officially a charitable organization.
• History & Company Structure: We dig into their past and see how they're organized, using resources like Charity Navigator and Guidestar.
• Lawsuit Scan: We make sure they haven't been caught up in any legal trouble.
• Board Member Background Checks: We make sure the people in charge have clean records.

Financial Deep Dive: Following the Money Trail

• Overhead & Salaries: We check to see if they're spending responsibly.
• Funding Sources: We look at where their money comes from (government grants, donations, etc.).
• Spending on the Cause: The most important part! We make sure your money is making a difference.
• Spending Breakdown: We want to know exactly where every dollar goes.

In a nutshell, we do the homework so you can give with confidence. Every suggestion on Pifster has passed our rigorous vetting process. So go ahead, open your heart and your wallet – you're in good hands! Just look at all the good we've done with our past charities.
