With more than 1.8 million lawfully registered charities in the United States, there is always the temptation for scammers to use a charity to take money from senior citizens and everyday people. 

The Great American Senior Show sat down with Ben Kershaw, Director, Public Policy and Government Relations from the Independent Sector to discuss how seniors can become better educated about seperating real charities from the fakes.

As Sam Yates, your host for the Great American Senior Show discovered, the Independent Sector is the only national membership organization in the United States that brings together a diverse community of changemakers, nonprofits, foundations, and cororations all working together to strengthen civil society and ensure all people in the United States thrive.
