Rotary International
Public records raise at least one point you should look into before giving.
What it says it does
The primary exempt purpose of the Sandpoint Rotary Club is to invoke passion with members who have the spirit of Service Above Self. The members meet weekly for comradery and educational talks about local and regional businesses and other non-profits. Historically the club has accomplished many community projects and collaborated with other Rotary Clubs to complete world projects. Providing support to youth is a key focus of the group. The members of the Club donate time and effort for various fundraiers that flow through the 501(c)3 arm of our organization (Sandpoint Rotary Charitable Trust).

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
