I re-took the photo and resubmitted it and got the same message despite the image being perfect. So it appears that the check is bogus in addition to the charity being fraudulent.

I haven't tried physically taking it to the bank yet, but all three of my banks rejected the mobile deposit "unable to read account number." This is literally the only check I've ever had technical difficulties with mobile depositing in several years of mobile banking, so I'm not even sure that the check is real.

Instead of going to Google to do a search I do a search with Startpage.com I get better results with this company. Any mail I get from companies that I have not requested information from I get suspicious and I wonder where did they get my name and address. There is a company (I can't recall their name) that gets names and addresses from a list of registry voters in each county, city and state. Personal I throw every piece of mail I get in the trash if I didn't request the info and I think most people should do the same.
