How do I raise a concern about a charitable donation?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Start by documenting the transaction and contacting the organization through its verified channel; escalate to the payment provider, regulator, or law enforcement when the facts and seriousness warrant it.

What this means in practice

Preserve receipts, dates, URLs, messages, and screenshots without altering them.

Describe the specific discrepancy rather than making a broader accusation that the evidence does not support.

For a Famidi question, use the official contact page and do not include full card or bank information.

How Famidi approaches donor trust

Famidi publishes its legal identity, EIN, program explanations, policies, filing links, and evidence boundaries so a donor can verify the organization without relying on promotional language alone.

This is general educational information. Tax treatment and legal obligations can change, and a donor should use current IRS guidance or a qualified adviser for a decision about personal circumstances.
