Ways to tap your wallet

Christmas is around the comer and many Hoosiers are in the mood to help those less fortunate than themselves, says Attorney General Linley Pearson. A number of charitable organizations are busy thinking of ways to tap your wallet, he said. The year-end blitz occurs for two reasons, Pearson said. “Charitable organizations hope to take advantage of your holiday spirit, and towards the end of the year people want tax deductions.” When it comes to making a donation, the first concern should be the purpose of the charitable organization that wants a contribution, the attorney general said. “Make sure you understand what its programs are and that you believe in those programs. “If a group says it helps starving children, for example, find out what they do to help starving children before you write a check,” Pearson said. One way to do that is to send for the charity’s annual report. That should provide a breakdown of its programs, including information on who was helped, he added. If it doesn’t, specifically request the information, he said. Organizations that ask the public for charitable contributions should provide, upon request, all information a potential donor might reasonably wish to review, Pearson noted. Another way to check, Pearson said, is to send for evaluation reports prepared by two watchdog agencies: The National Information Bureau Inc., 419 Park Avenue South, New York, N.Y., 10016, and the Better Business Bureau’s Philanthropic Advisory Service, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Va., 22209. Both agencies have standards for charities and publish lists of those that do and don’t meet them. “Once you’ve determined what ’ NEW HOURS: Ri Mon.-Thurs. 8-8 Fri. 8-5:30 SPOTLIGHT (8) • 85 CHEV.

programs a charity operates, you should find out the amount of money it spends on programs and the amount it spends for fundraising and administration,” Pearson said. The National Information Bureau says at least 60 percent of the money raised should go to programs. The Philanthropic Advisory Services says 50 percent is acceptable, but no more than 35 percent should go for fundraising. Some charities spend a large percentage of the donations they receive on administrative and fundraising costs, and only a small percentage is actually spent for the stated purpose of the organization, the attorney general said. Tips To Follow Pearson said if consumers want to make sure their donations go where they want them to, follow these tips: Always make the contribution by check and make the check out to the charity, not to the person collecting the donation. Don’t be fooled by names that look impressive or that closely

ISMA suggests ways to identify child abuse

Each year more than one million children are abused by their parents, guardians, or other adults. Os those children, 2,000 to 5,000 die as a result of their injuries. According to the Indiana State Medical Association (ISMA), many types of abuse and neglect can be found among all ages of children, including physical abuse, physical neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional maltreatment. Under Indiana law, anyone who suspects child abuse must report it to the proper authorities. Failure to do so would result in a charge of a Class B misdemeanor. However, immunity is granted from any civil or criminal liability for reporting suspected cases. Physicians must also report suspected cases of abuse and neglect. They, too, are afforded legal immunity to protect their reporting but face the same Class B misdemeanor charge if they fail to follow the proper reporting procedures. Several identifying factors for families and children at risk for abuse would include vulnerable families who may be socially isolated, suffer drug and alcohol abuse, or whose parents abused them as children. Vulnerable children include those who were born prematurely, have adolescent parents, were hospitalized for a prolonged period at birth,

resemble the name of a wellknown organization. Check out the organization with your local Better Business Bureau. Ask questions, and don’t give until you are satisfied with the answers. How much money was collected last year? How much was spent? On what? Compare administration and fundraising costs with program costs. Charities with nothing to hide will encourage your interest. Mail appeals should clearly identify the charity and describe its programs. Beware of appeals that bring tears to your eyes but tell you nothing of the charity or what it’s doing about the problems it describes so well. If unordered items, such as key rings, stamps, seals, greeting cards, or pens are enclosed with an appeal letter, remember you are under no obligation to pay for or return this merchandise. Keep records of your donations,. such as receipts and canceled checks, so you can document your charitable giving at tax time.

Signs of sexual abuse include venereal disease, recurrent urinary tract infections, vaginal discharge, and lax rectal tone. Signs of emotional maltreatment include failure to thrive, apathy or depression and delays in physical development. According to the ISMA, reporting abuse cases is a vital step in helping the family.
