Severe rainfall has caused major flooding across Central and South Texas, leading to evacuations and water rescues in many of the same communities hit just last year.

The holidays get all the fundraising hype, but summer is actually when communities face a harsh "giving drought." 📉

As schools close, millions of kids lose access to school meals, and local disaster relief groups must operate at peak capacity for summer weather crises, all while regular donations hit their lowest point of the year.

Lately, we’ve seen a rise in scammers pretending to be Charity Navigator staff, even reaching out to people on third-party messaging apps like #WhatsApp (which we will never do)!

Scammers use urgency and pressure to trick you into clicking links or giving money. If you receive an unsolicited message from a charity you never shared your contact information with, treat it as a red flag.

Before you give, it helps to research the sender. When in doubt, go directly to the charity’s official website and contact them to verify the message was real.

Learn more tips for protecting your giving at the link in our bio.

While the impulse to give right after a disaster is amazing, true recovery takes years. Recent cuts to #FEMA mean local charities are doing more of the heavy lifting than ever.

When you fund long-term recovery, you’re investing in stronger infrastructure and supporting communities who need it most.

Communities of color face specific barriers to mental health support, from a lack of access to systemic bias. Fortunately, many charities are working to change that.

This BIPOC Mental Health Month is the perfect time to support organizations led by Indigenous groups and people of color, or that focus on relevant causes like healthcare access.

Try out our Horizon AI Search to find top-rated charities helping uplift BIPOC communities (link in bio).

When we talk about the importance of supporting charities, we are talking about stories like the one Elizabeth witnessed.

After a severe natural disaster devastated her community, a family of five was left with nothing. Elizabeth saw firsthand how a local charity caught their fall, providing temporary relief to help them get back on their feet.

For a mother with three young children, that support was everything.

Charities in our country create moments of relief every day. If you've witnessed a charity helping someone, we'd love to share your story (link in bio).
