I don't donate to any charity if I cannot look them up on any of the charity rating guides. I don't care if its $1 or $100 I want to know how much of the money actually makes it to the cause.

Like I said, it looks legit to me - the link left off the www, and that causes the untrusted connection error - HOWEVER, for an NFL team project it was very poorly put together and they should have used a respected charity organization like you say, rather than this one.

The main reason I like to look up the ranking of a charity is to see how much money actually goes to the charity and not to line the pockets of the people running the charity. Last year I almost donated to a charity before looking up their ranking and when I did look them up I found out that only 24% of the money donated went to the actual cause. They did not get a donation from me.
