Dogecoin-oriented Twitter handle Mishaboar reminded their followers that donating to well-known organizations was the “safest best” despite larger organizations’ overheads. Mishaboar asked the followers not to send DMs pointing to smaller charities in Ukraine that couldn’t be verified.
Unfortunately, in times of uncertainty, well-known organizations are your safest bet, even though large organizations *might* come with overheads that could make your donations less effective than a targeted donation to – let’s say – a local children charity or a local shelter.
