Giving to Unqualified Tzedakah Adminstrators
An individual has an obligation to know something about the organizations
to which he
donates money and may not contribute to an unqualified charity adminstrator.
|
Administrators must be trustworthy and wise
and strict with the poor that they not be
frauds. And it is forbidden to give tzedakah
to any administrator who is not trustworthy.
Ramah, Yoreh Deah 257.1

And a person should not contribute to a
tzedakah fund unless he knows that its
management is reliable and knows how to
conduct the fund properly. Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah
249.7
