It seems a bit too good to be true, but I figured the fastest way to pop the bubble if it actually is fake news is to get the maximum number of folks digging in it, hence the sticky. Plenty of news outlets do seem to be picking it up. Could be a limited hangout set up to spread chaff. Time will tell. Keep digging. :-)
Thanks for the ping, and it seems like you've scoured everything searching for credentials, so I can't think of anywhere else to verify if they're a real charity or not. Probably not by the looks of it. CIA

Something is wrong here. I'm not sure this "NGO" is even a 501(c)3. It doesn't appear in any variation that I can find on Charity Navigator.
Nor is there anything on the website with any type of DUNS, business ID, tax exempt #, etc.
This doesn't smell right. Thoughts?

Sorry, I'm not getting the pings as my username has a double R. I know it looks like gorilla with a Z but it's not.

Do you have the license plate that says I1II1I1? Serifs are barely notice in DMV print. Looks the same as an I.
