Review for St. Joseph's Indian School, Chamberlain, SD, USA
I've donated here for many years and while never a visitor there, I have asked friends to stop in and check them out. Universal praise for the children and persons they met there and the apparent good work they try to do. A skeptic as well, I've looked into these many "gifts" and courtesy phone calls. Apparently some organizations donate the gifts as their contribution in lieu of cash; other cover mailing and phone fees. Clearly from the School's follow-up activities, this is a very well-managed organization...far better than most others I've donated to. I wish they'd better conform to rated organizations (Charity Navigator's screens for example) but for my money, theirs is a worthwhile exempt charity to donate to.
