I've have been a donor of JRF for years and I know the money I donate goes to great cause. You can look at JRF's 990 and know that money is being managed well. I always recommend that people do research on organizations before they donate. Do a quick google search for 990 finder and you can access the JRF's 990 and see how they use money--you will be impressed. I've donated in the past and plan on making another donation before the end of 2012. I plan on being a lifetime JRF donor.
