Donation is one of the best ways to help those in need and contribute to creating positive change in society. However, in this digital era, there are so many options for donation that it can be tricky to decide which one is truly safe and trustworthy. In order to make your donation truly beneficial and right on target, here are some important things to consider before donating:
1. Ensure Legal Entity and Official License

A credible donation foundation must have a legal entity and official license from the government or relevant authorities. In Indonesia, for example, to find out whether a foundation is legally incorporated or not, you can check it on the website www.ahu.go.id and then type the name of the organization you are looking for. Institutions that receive donations are generally also required to have a Money and Goods Collection (PUB) license from the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. For religious foundations, they must have a license from the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia. Checking the legality of a donation organization is the first step to ensuring that your donation is managed in a responsible manner.
2. Research the Organization's Reputation
Before donating, do a little research on the reputation of the organization you choose. You can find information through online reviews, testimonials from previous donors, or news in trusted media. Reputable organizations have usually been operating for a long time and are widely recognized by the public for their transparency and credibility in distributing aid.
3. Information Transparency
