Group cautions donors to double-check where funds go

Aug 01, 2012 (American News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- South Dakota Disabled American Veterans has never solicited donations through telemarketing, so anyone who receives a phone call from a group with a similar name should think twice before sending any money, said Gene Murphy of the Disabled American Veterans.

Murphy said many people have been calling him asking about phone calls they received asking for donations to the Disabled American Veterans. He thinks people are confusing the Disabled American Veterans with the Disabled National Veterans Association, a different organization that has no affiliation, Murphy said.

The Disabled American Veterans is supported by charitable donations and membership dues and makes sure donations go directly to supporting disabled military veterans in South Dakota, Murphy said. He cannot assure the same for the other organization.

"I would ask them exactly who they are and where that money goes," Murphy said.

The best way to help veterans in need is to donate money to the veterans' organizations in donors' communities so they can be certain the money goes to the right place, he said.

In a news release, Murphy listed reputable organizations people can donate to. In addition to the Disabled American Veterans the list includes the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the American Legion, the Military Order of the Purple Heart, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Vietnam Veterans of America.
