Another source of information to help decide which charities are legitimate is the Better Business Bureau (in the U.S. and Canada).

The Federal Trade Commission is hot on their tails too.

Recognize that the words “veterans” or “military families” in an organization’s name don’t necessarily mean that veterans or the families of active-duty personnel will benefit from the money you are donating. The U.S. Department of Defense doesn’t endorse any charity, but recommends this source of information about military relief societies.
