"Philanthropy experts say people should follow their hearts in giving. They also say that targeted giving like that of the Considines can help charitable groups because it provides a predictable stream of income so they can plan long-term projects.
'Unlike the stock market, you really shouldn't be diversifying your giving,' said Sandra Miniutti, spokeswoman for Charity Navigator, a nonprofit group based in Mahwah, N.J., that evaluates philanthropic groups. 'It's best if you stick with a charity over time, make a commitment for the long haul.'
Donors also should check out the charitable and nonprofit groups they want to support to make sure they're spending their money wisely, she added."
