DALLAS -- As Americans get ready for this holiday season, Verizon SuperPages.com urges families to remember the
numerous deserving charities on both the national and local levels. Many of these nonprofit organizations have
experienced a reduction in donations due to recent national events and a slowing economy, making contributions especially
important this year.
A list of nonprofit organizations that have met the standards of the Better Business Bureau or the National Charities
Information Bureau can be found on www.SuperPages.com in the "Holiday
HomePages" section. Each charity's Web site link or contact phone number is provided.
In selecting a charity, the Council of Better Business Bureaus provides some basic tips on how to avoid a charitable
giving scam. First, donors should only write checks to the name of the organization, never to an individual. Also, be
suspicious if asked to give cash as the method of payment. It is important to note the name of the organization, as
fraudulent ones often have names that sound similar to well-known charities. In addition, research the charity by calling
your Better Business Bureau. Finally, request written information about the charity before agreeing to make a
contribution.
For more information on safely giving to reputable charities, Verizon SuperPages.com recommends visiting www.give.org.
