Do you donate to a Charity? If so who and why did you decide to give to them?

Answer 1

Yes I do donate to charity. I am big on is Americas Second Harvest. They spend 98% of the money on food which is excellent! Also, I donate to International organizations and do thigs like provide $50 to send 5 girls to school in africa for an entire year. I give to almost evryone who asks because it all come back to you 10 fold. TRUTH.

Answer 2

I Donate old clothes that do not fit me but would make someone happy.

I dont because theres no point into recyling them because they will make it into something new that could be cheaper.
Also i Feel terrible that people such as in africa have a hard time just finding a water source. i started donating after i saw a video on the discovery channel of a woman holding her baby and crying. And i noticed the little kid was hugging her saying its okay. I like ot donate, not the savation army or whatever because people have to pay. I hope ive helped!

Answer 3

I choose my charitys wisely. If im at a store purchaseing something and they ask me to donate money to a charity sometimes i wont always donate. I like to know more about the charitys. There are thousands of charitys that are for the same thing. I like to know what exactly is special about each one. So far I've donated to the US Marine Corps soldiers, Hurricane Rita, and Katrina victoms, and I've been collecting boxes of clothing to send to families in El Salvedor. I support our troops, my husband is in the Marines, I gave to the Hurrican victoms because I live in Texas and I was lucky enough not loose my house but for those who wern't as lucky i wanted to help out.

Answer 4

I donate to many charities that help the "working poor". I mainly pick charities that "teach men to fish" instead of "giving men fish". Some of the charities I have given to are "Habitiat for Humanity" "Homebase" "Homeward Bound" & "FINCA". I also check the charity navigator to see how these charities are rated. I pick charities where a high portion of the $ goes to the recipients and not administrative overhead.

I also donate blood, because there is a shortage, and many people are not eligible to donate blood. I donate blood because blood donations SAVES LIVES !

There are probably many within your state or city that can use donations.

Do NOT contribute to people who call you such as Deputy Sheriff Associations.
Disabled Verterans Associations.

These are "boiler house" groups that share contributor lists and very little if anything actually go to the cause they currently are promoting and you will start to get calls monthy and bi-monthly. The only way I got rid of them was to tell them I had filed for bankruptcy.

Answer 6

Nowadays so many people I know are engaged in walks for a cure or things of the like that I end up doing most of my donations through them. This includes Relay for Life, Autism Speaks, Dana-Ferber Cancer Institute, the Jimmy Fund, and more. This is especially helpful if the company you work for will match your donation.
