I hate to blow your good thoughts out of the water, but I hope you appreciate just how LITTLE of your money actually goes to the people/animals etc the charity is set up to help.
Most charities employ 'professional' marketers and administrators who earn salaries the rest of us would give our right arm for.
These senior employees often qualify for interest free loans to buy their homes etc. (All taken from the charity kitty).
Maybe you'll find a 'very small' charity that DOESN'T operate this way, but check their financial records (which should be public) before parting with your cash.
Investing in YOURSELF is the best way to help society. The more successful you become, the more you can help people 'genuinely'.
Throwing money at most charities is a fad that the rich and famous use to increase their public profile. Get sucked into it at your peril.
Good luck, Pete.

Your local social service welfare office or A church in your area can give you a name of a family who will not have a Christmas unless someone like yourself helps them.American Cancer Society or Diabetes Foundations are always good charities. God bless you for wanting to give.
