[kanoshia] Caution Re: Solicitation from Hidaya Foundation/Waleed Baloch - "The Most Excellent Sadaqah (Charity) and Help an Orphan Child Receive an Education"
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatulah wa barakatuh,
Dear Moderator and brothers and sisters al-Islam,
I have just received another solicitation from Waleed Baloch for donation funds.
Despite the first caution I sent to all of you and c.c copy to Waleed Baloch on 17th March 2007, he (Waleed Baloch) did not clarify, defend or provide evidence to the contrary concerning his "foundation's" postion. Instead, he blatantly continues to solicit for funds via Muslim yahoogroups.
Based on this, all of us must be diligent and be extremely cautious before donating to his "Hidaya Foundation" and for that matter to any charity organization by checking with the BBB National Charities Information Bureau. If the organization claims to be a U.S.-based charity, ask it for a copy of its IRS Form 990, the financial report filed with federal and state governments. You also can check out the organization by contacting your state government's charity registration office (usually a division of the state's attorney general's office), visiting www.give.org (if a national charity), or if it is a local charity, visiting www.bbb.org to contact the Better Business Bureau in your area.
Please read the information provided below about Waleed Baloch's "Hidaya Foundation", inshaAllah.
Wa Assalamu alaikum
Your brother,
F. Hassan M.D.
Cambridge, Massachusetts
