Important information
- Additional Info:On
June 16, 2021, Better Business Bureau received information regarding a company
called Empowerment Foundation representing itself as a charitable organization
that has made a significant worldwide impact.
Upon
conducting research, BBB could not locate a business license, charitable
registration, or IRS tax-exemption for Empowerment Foundation.
Further,
a reverse-image search found that the staff photos posted on Empowerment
Foundation’s website were lifted from a German company’s website, and the
photos showing donations made to other charities were taken from other websites
and edited to reflect their logo.
In
addition, Empowerment Foundation’s website claims it has received a
certification from Charity Navigator, which BBB found has issued a High Concern
CN Advisory against the organization for misuse of their logo.
BBB
cautions donors from donating to organizations that provide vague information
on their websites regarding the programs and services offered, as well as those
that do not have a verifiable business license or tax exemption with the IRS.
Find
a trustworthy charity by searching BBB.org and Give.org to find a charity that
meets BBB’s 20 Standards for Charity Accountability
