March 3, 2022 – As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to unfold, BBB serving Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Western Kentucky recognizes that generous donors will want to help the people of Ukraine by supporting charities. BBB warns consumers of the possibility of charity scams and offers advice on selecting charitable organizations safely.
With any widespread emergency or crisis, scams can and do arise as con artists attempt to defraud well-meaning donors. Scams can be difficult to identify; however, there are steps donors can take to protect themselves and ensure their money is going toward its intended use.
- Research what type of activity the charity will fund. If the description of charitable activities seems vague, ask questions about the planned use of funds before contributing.
- Be cautious about newly created efforts. Even when founders of new groups have the best of intentions, it will be challenging to distribute help without having prior disaster relief experience and connections to Ukraine.
- Consider U.S.- based charities that have relief efforts in Ukraine or are able to reach and serve Ukrainian refugees. Charities based in the U.S. can be checked out before donating and you can claim a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes.
- Donations to support funding of weapons and other military help would not be tax deductible for charitable purposes since military support is not considered a charitable activity. It will probably be impossible to verify that funds given for military purposes will be used as promised.
- Donations of in-kind items shipped from the United States may be difficult to transport and distribute effectively. Humanitarian needs and the location of refugees are changing rapidly.
- Not all crowdfunding sites have the same rules. Read up on the website’s rules, regulations, and procedures. Some crowdfunding sites do additional vetting of individuals posting for needs. Others do not.
- Photos don’t mean a campaign is legitimate. Con artists often use pictures of victims without their permission to make donors believe the campaign is legitimate. This is especially true in the wake of a major tragedy. It is possible for scammers to pretend to be a Ukrainian refugee or to masquerade as the Ukrainian relative or friend of a potential donor.
BBB encourages donors to consider donating to experienced relief organizations that meet the 20 BBB Charity Standards. Donors can find a list of charities that meet these standards at Give.org.
ABOUT BBB: For more than 100 years, the Better Business Bureau has been helping people find businesses, brands and charities they can trust. In 2020, people turned to BBB more than 220 million times for BBB Business Profiles on 6.2 million businesses and Charity Reports on 11,000 charities, all available for free at BBB.org. The International Association of Better Business Bureaus is the umbrella organization for the local, independent BBBs in the United States, Canada and Mexico. BBB Serving Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Western Kentucky was founded in 1916 and serves 44 counties in Kentucky and 8 counties in Southern Indiana.

Metro hires Talent Acquisition Coordinator to better promote available career opportunities
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 4, 2022) — Louisville Metro Government today announced new, aggressive steps to identify, recruit, and hire employees to provide necessary services to the city’s residents during the most volatile job market in recent American history.
The steps include a career fair this month allowing the public to interact with more than 25 city departments looking to fill over 600 vacant positions.
“Like any diverse community ready to thrive, Louisville faces challenges and obstacles that will rely on diligent and innovative city workers,” said Mayor Greg Fischer. “Economic trends have made attracting and retaining good employees deeply challenging, so we hope this career fair and the recent wage adjustments and incentives attract the best and brightest to join the Louisville Metro Government team.”
Ernestine Booth-Henry, Director of Human Resources for Metro Government, said the career fair will be instrumental in helping the city recover from two years of labor uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Like all businesses throughout the community, we have seen changes in how people view their careers and how they interact with their employers,” Booth-Henry says. “People are looking for more meaningful careers and greater empowerment in how they perform the work they do. They want flexible work schedules and opportunities to work from home, and in navigating the pandemic. We have learned that Louisville Metro Government is able to offer those opportunities for many of our positions.”
The career fair, to be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on March 17 at the Muhammad Ali Center, 144 N. Sixth St., will provide the public the chance to ask questions of hiring managers from all Metro Government departments and to apply for positions on-site.
Job openings cover a huge range of skills and interests, and all levels of experience and education. People can register to attend on-line and are encouraged to bring their resumes. Masks will be required to attend.
In addition to the career fair, Metro Government’s Human Resources department has recently added a new position dedicated to recruiting employees.
Johnathan Dow began work in November 2021 as the department’s Talent Acquisition Coordinator.
Talent and Retention Administrator Shante Thaxton said: “Because the hiring needs across Metro Government are so diverse, our past practice was to support individual departments in their recruiting efforts. In this increasingly competitive job market, however, we now see a need to coordinate the efforts of all departments, showing the public that a career with Metro Government is open to practically everyone in our community. John is going to be a critical player in this new focus.”
Dow added: “Effective and result-driven recruitment can never take place in a silo. Recruitment is more than getting others to join us. It is pairing an organization’s mission, goals, and values with those of like-minded attitudes and experience. Luckily for me, Metro Government has products and services that can be marketed to all segments of society, along with career paths that provide for the future development of its employees.”
