Fundraising group helps raise bar on philanthropy scene | mydesert.com | The Desert Sun: "In order for charitable giving and philanthropy to work, there has to be public trust,” AFP spokesman Michael Nilsen said.

He cautioned donors against “haphazard giving” and encourages those who give to check out the nonprofit group in advance of writing a check.

“Giving is a personal thing. Look into it. Check out the organization's programs or annual reports to make sure it's doing what it stands for,” he said."
