I have to disagree that if a charity is not on the list it is most likely a scam. No. Just no. Charity watch only rates the big charities that bring in a crap ton of money, but not the thousands of LEGIT grass roots and local charities.One word of caution,
Be very careful about donating and fundraising especially on-line. The Turpin case is a case of hugely international proportions. Working to filter out the sincere from the slim-balls takes effort and planning. Don't be too quick to donate online as the wrong clicks can lead to viruses, malware, and identity theft. Make sure that you are researching the organization before giving anything!
This is a list that is constantly updated of proven charities that are legitimate and verified. If your organization is not on this list, there is likelihood that it is not legit and could be a scam:

You can find out if a charity is legit by going to guidestar.org. If a group has their nonprofit status, they will be listed.
