Report a Charity

The Department of Finance (DoF) allows residents to report charities and non-profit organisations that may be operating improperly, misusing funds, or breaching City regulations. This includes concerns around fraudulent fundraising, misuse of donations, lack of transparency, or serious safeguarding concerns.

This form is not for minor disagreements over how a charity operates or personal disputes with staff or volunteers. Misuse of this service may result in you being restricted from submitting further reports.

Criteria

  • Your report should relate to a charity or non-profit operating within the City of Los Santos.
  • The concern should involve potential dishonesty, misuse of funds, serious safeguarding issues, or regulatory breaches.
  • You should provide as much factual information as possible, including dates, times and what you witnessed.
  • This form is not a replacement for calling 911 in an emergency; please contact emergency services where required.

Minimum Requirements

  • You must provide the charity name (or best known name).
  • You must select the most appropriate reason for your report.
  • You must give a clear description of what has happened and why you believe it is a concern.

Method of Review

  1. Submit your Report – You provide details of the charity and your concerns.
  2. Initial Screening – DoF staff review the report to ensure it meets criteria and may request further information.
  3. Investigation / Outcome – Where appropriate, the report is linked to a registered charity and investigated, and action may be taken in line with City policy.
You must be logged in to submit a charity report.

Appropriate Use

This form should be used for serious concerns such as fraudulent fundraising, misuse of donations, or safeguarding issues. For minor issues, please consider raising your concern directly with the charity first.

Emergencies

If you believe there is an immediate risk to life or serious crime in progress, contact 911 instead of using this form. You may still submit a report here afterwards for regulatory follow-up.
