7. I checked out Give.org (apparently a Better Business Bureau affiliate), and MECA is not rated.

This charitable organization either has not responded to written BBB requests for information or has declined to be evaluated in relation to BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. Charity participation in BBB review is voluntary. However, without the requested information, it is not possible to determine whether this charity adheres to all of the BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. The BBB encourages charities to disclose accountability information beyond that typically included in financial statements and government filings, in order to demonstrate transparency and strengthen public trust in the charitable sector.

Don't know how reputable Charity Watch is, but they have some pretty familiar charity organizations on their top 15 list:
