Donating an Instrument to a Charity
By Eileen Jacobs

[ Jody remarked in 140816 MMDigest --

>[ Donating to a charity that is fraudulent will cost you your
>[ money or property AND you won't get a valid tax deduction.

Jody is right: all charities should be researched.  Here are a few
sites that will allow you to see how much overhead is taken versus
how much is actually used for the charity.  I use Charity Navigator.
