It is still difficult to decide whether or not RAINN is the best charity to donate to. According to the Feminist Majority Foundation, Greatist, and GiveWell, RAINN sticks out as one of the highest impact giving opportunities. I feel as though the more research I conduct, the more I find that RAINN is constantly among the top rated abuse and sexual assault related charities. So, I think if we are only evaluating charities on these terms, then RAINN would be worthy of a donation. However when taking into consideration charities of all kinds with the biggest impact, RAINN falls short of organizations that try to combat issues such as Malaria.

I think the most challenging part about deciding whether or not groups are worth donating to is that we are evaluating them based on whether or not they are the best. RAINN is a good organization, but because it’s not as transparent in its financials as other organizations or doesn’t directly give as much of it’s donations to the cause as other groups, it’s not as worthy. I don’t that completely discredits it as a charity though, as it still accomplishes a lot of meaningful work.
