Been asked to donate money to a charity recently?

From the bell ringers at shopping centers to the kids who come knocking on your door, fundraisers are out in full force.
Americans donate roughly $250 billion each year to nonprofit organizations and half of that money is handed over between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, according to Charity Navigator, a New Jersey group that evaluates charities for potential donors.
