The nonprofit sector in Delaware is thriving. There are over 2,500 registered nonprofits in the state, according to the Delaware Division of Corporations. And many of those groups are doing good work.
But how do you know which ones deserve your money?
Charity Navigator, a Washington D.C.-based charity evaluator, rates nonprofits based on three criteria: how efficiently they spend donated funds; whether they're transparent about their finances; and how accountable they are to donors.
The House is asking members and supporters to make a donation to help cover the cost of operating expenses during the shutdown. This includes paying employees, buying food and supplies, maintaining equipment, and keeping the lights on.

- Help build a better animal shelter in Wilmington, DE
Faithful Friends Animal Society needs your support to build a better animal shelter. Our goal is to provide a safe haven for homeless pets while educating the public about the importance of adopting rather than buying.
Our current facility is outdated and does not meet modern standards. We are seeking funding to build a state-of-the art shelter that provides the best care possible for homeless pets. This project will allow us to expand our capacity to house more animals, increase adoption rates, and educate the public about the benefits of adopting over purchasing.
Please consider making a donation today. Your gift will go toward providing a safer environment for shelter animals, increasing adoption rates, and reducing pet relinquishment. Thank you for supporting our efforts to build compassion!

Foster care is the temporary care you provide in your home for a youth who has been removed from his/her family because he/she is being abused, neglected, or dependent. You may be asked to take custody of a child temporarily while the situation that caused removal is addressed.
Children in need of foster homes vary in age from newborns to teenagers and come from all racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. Many children have special medical or developmental needs, and some require specialized support to catch up academically and socially with their peers; others need extra help just learning how to live independently. Most foster parents want to adopt the child out permanently once the problems leading to the removal have been resolved.
However, sometimes there are circumstances requiring children to remain in a foster home. For example, if the birth parent cannot resolve the problem causing the removal, it might be necessary to keep the child away from him/her until the situation is resolved. Or, if the child is too young to understand what happened, it may be better to keep her safe in a nurturing environment where she feels secure.
While children are in a foster care setting, the birth parent can concentrate on addressing the reasons why the child came to be placed in foster care. In addition, foster parents often receive training and supervision to ensure that the child receives proper nutrition, health care, and emotional support.

The FTC strongly advises checking with organizations such as the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, CharityWatch, or GuideStar to get a better picture of how much of the charity's donations go toward expenses and overhead.
A charitable trust is a type of charity that is managed by a small group of individuals known as trustees. There is no wider membership and the trustees are appointed rather than elected. Because a charitable trust is not incorporated, it cannot enter into contracts or own property.
Larger charitable organizations, in the opinion of the average American donor, are more effective in their work than smaller ones. They also communicate better with donors and have a greater dollar-for-dollar impact.
