But Wil liams urged con tri - bu tors to be mind ful when making a donation. It is im por tant for Col o ra - dans to re search the char i - ties they sup port and trust that their do na tions are be ing used pru dently, he said. To this end, we en - courage everyone to use CheckTheCharity.com to learn more about their fa - vorite charities before making donations. Here are the tips from Col - orado Secretary of State s to try to avoid char ity scams: 1. Ask for the reg is tra tion num ber of the char ity and paid solicitor. 2. Make a note of the in di - vid ual caller s first and last name and the name of the telemarketing com pany that em ploys the caller. 3. Ask the so lic i tor how much of the do na tion will go to the char ity, whether the do na tion is tax de duct - ible, and what char i ta ble pro grams it will sup port. Touch Screen 15 Notebook Windows 10 * 15.6 Touch Screen * 12 GB RAM * 7th generation Intel Core i5 * HD Webcam * Multi-Format Digital Media Card Reader * SuperMulit DVD Burner * 1x b/g/n WAN + Bluetooth 1xUSB 3.1-2xUSB 2.0-1xHDMI -1x RJ-45(Lan) - 1x Headphone/Microphone Combo Jack Plains Network Services 1208 Maine St. Eads, CO $ If so lic ited in per son, ask for the so lic i tor s iden - tification and registration num ber. 5. Re sist pres sure to give on the spot, whether from a telemarketer or door-to-door so lic i tor, and be ware if they thank you for mak ing a pledge you don t remember making. If you feel uncomfortable, just say, No, thank you. 6. Do not pay in cash. Do - nate by check made pay - able to the char ity or use the char ity s website to do nate by credit card. 7. Make sure you are vis it - ing the of fi cial website of the char ity you wish to sup port, and be ware of lookalike websites, es pe - cially if you are asked to provide personal financial information. 8. Re search the char ity s disclosure and financial state ments on the Secretary of State s website. 9. Be wary if the char ity fails to pro vide de tailed in - for ma tion about its iden - tity, mis sion, fi nances and how the do na tion will be used. Reputable charities will gladly pro vide the in - formation requested. 10. Watch out for char i ties with names that sound sim i lar to well-known or - ga ni za tions. These sound-alike names are in - tended to con fuse. In Texas, Hous ton Mayor Sylvester Turner has es - tab lished the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, which will be administered by the Greater Hous ton Com - mu nity Foun da tion. In ad - di tion, Wil liams urged do - nors to give to es tab lished charities with a physical presence in Texas. In Col o rado, most char i - ties that so licit con tri bu - tions are re quired to reg is - ter with the Sec re tary of State. The registration filings include information about the organization s leadership, mission, financial ef fi ciency, and com - mer cial fundraisers. Paid solicitors that raise funds in Col o rado also reg is ter, and their dis clo sure forms show the du ra tion and re - sults of any solicitation campaigns conducted. Colorado residents may also ac cess the state s an - nual reports on charitable giving at bs/charities/annualreports.html. The re ports an a lyze and illustrate the information reported by registered charities and paid solici - tors, most no ta bly the re - sults of the joint so lic i ta - tion cam paigns they con ducted during the previous year.
