We are sure all of you donate to various charities. But have you thought about how your donations are handled by the charity you give to? It is impossible to know this unless you know their rating, transparency, their honesty in delivering the funds to their mission, and how much is deducted from your donation for overhead, fundraising and miscellaneous expenses. Is it 20% or 90%? When you donate, you need to rest assured that YOUR DONATION will go to THE MISSION YOU ARE GIVING TO.

Most of us donate when the request comes to our mailbox and the moving story tugs at our heartstrings. Many nonprofits supporting children, cancer survivors, veterans, the homeless, the hungry, etc., utilize this strategy and we give from our hearts without considering factors such as impact, efficiency, transparency, and whether most of our donation goes to the cause. Is the charity blacklisted by any watchdog organization? How much of our donation is swallowed by administrative costs? Most donors lack the time or inclination to delve deep and uncover such details. Is there a WISER WAY of giving?

In our quest for wiser philanthropy, we researched innumerable nonprofits extensively and it turned into a passion. This has led to unearthing some of the best giving opportunities. The K.A.B. Foundation (K.A.B.F.) was born from a desire to share this information as a guide to giving wisely, so that your generous donation can be maximized to benefit the needy.
