Most charities are honest and ethical, but questionable solicitors are counting on the fact that you won't bother to check out the charity before you give. Here is some basic wise giving advice

Tip 1 & Chimorel's Response
Watch out for similar names. Many charities raise funds for similar causes. Some charity names sound the same. Look at the name carefully. Give only to the charity you have in mind.
     Currently there are not likely to be many solicitors using Chimorel's name. As we become more active; however, this could change. Do not give directly to anyone soliciting on Chimorel's behalf. Send all gifts directly to Chimorel Services Inc, PO Box 340502, Columbus, OH 43234-0502 and give us the name of your solicitor. If the solicitor is legitimate, he or she will be credited with your gift. Anyone who is not willing to give you his or her name or tell you to send your donation to our PO Box is not a Chimorel solicitor.

Tip 2 & Chimorel's Response
Do not be pressured to make an immediate gift. Be wary of solicitors that demand an 'on the spot' donation. Charities should welcome your gift whenever you want to send it.
      Absolutely. If you have not spent enough time exploring our website to feel comfortable with Chimorel, don't make a gift. Better yet, wait until you are actually using some of our ideas to achieve a goal or two. When you are ready, we are ready.
