Giving to a charity overseas is not as simple as writing
a check to a local nonprofit organization in the United
States, and there are various barriers. Some barriers are
legal---US tax laws do not provide incentives for donating
directly overseas and proper due diligence is required in
order to make such a donation legal.
Other challenges involve access to information on reputable
overseas charities as well as reliable financial management
and expenditure responsibility of overseas gifts.
Because of this challenge, less than 3.7% of giving or $430.1
million in the United States went to overseas charities
versus $11.6 billion in total giving by US foundations.
