Consumer Tips

Charities

  • Do not be pressured into giving to any organization
  • Ask the charity for information and a copy of the IRS Form 990. This will contain a wealth of information
  • Most charities must register with the Pennsylvania Department of State, (800) 732-0999
  • Stay away from door-to-door solicitation
