Yet...

BTW, we're doing a lot with the local pet adoptions. We donate many hours to them.

You could also donate to the party your parents don't like.

 

Human Rights Watch is where I send my $

 

You can always donate it to the JNAH foundation. I can guarantee you that every penny will be spent on the cause rather then some rich snob keeping most of it. Oh and that stands for Joe Needs A Hardtop.

But on a serious note I would say "Make a Wish Foundation" because I have seen in person what they are capable of doing. My fiance was diagnosed with cancer alittle while back and she was one of the patients that was approved by the Make a Wish Foundation for a wish. It cost about 4 grand too. It really opens your eyes when you see what these things can do for a person. She has been cancer free for about 4 months now. It's definetly a reality check when your shaving your fiancees head.

 

I never give any money to indirect charities. Indirect charities are places where you have no idea where/how the money is spent. I give plenty of charity, but I give direct charity....either a person, family, or organization I am directly involved with.

I once read a book written by a renowned professor which stated that giving to indirect charities is a selfish act of ridding oneself of your own guilt. While I am not claiming that it's right or wrong, you really don't know where the money went. This is ESPECIALLY true if you know politics in Africa, where 90% of donated money is stolen by extremely corrupt government. You "the donator" feel good that you gave money to charity, even if you have no idea where it went. He claimed direct charity is a selfless act, and you are directly responsible for helping someone in need.

Just some vegetables in the soup pot.

 

I would highly recommend donating to the "GNN for the win" mental institution. All proceeds would help GNN get some very needed therapy.
