Consumer Reports Names LRA Among Best for Giving

November 27, 2018

Lupus Research Alliance was named by Consumer Reports as one of the best five health organizations to donate to in 2018. This blue-chip recognition is based on ratings by independent watchdog groups like BBB Wise Giving Alliance and CharityWatch.

“Choosing charities by name alone is a mistake some donors make, and their money sometimes ends up going to less-than-worthy groups. Those organizations perhaps spend too much on administrative costs or are outright scammers,” says Bennett Weiner, chief operating officer of the charity watchdog BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
