Giving to charities - depends on what you really want to accomplish - I'm disabled - I have a few teeth that need to be fixed - but I haven't been able to find any organizations that will help me out with that. I don't have a car anymore, and the weather is getting cold, a ride to the grocery store (and maybe even a few groceries) would be so nice, I think I would cry if someone offered that to me. I was just able to get a computer not too long ago - after not having one for 6 years - it's been so nice to be able to communicate with the outside world - but the monthly internet fee is kind of hard to handle. Sometimes, it's not about $, I need someone to help me move things, or a ride to the Dr, the store, or someone to help me clean once in a while. You'll know what the right thing to do is - listen to your heart.

If I had the money I would go directly to the people who need it as another poster said.
I see people everywhere I go who's lives would be changed so much if the had an electric scooter, or the money to buy a car, or if someone just paid their rent for them or had a bunch of groceries delivered to them. Pay their utility bills. If they even had a home to call their own.
Charities for the disabled do very little in practical terms for the disabled in my experience, arranging for a free swim at a pool for the disabled or a tour of an art gallery does nothing to alleviate the poverty they face everyday.
For example last month I spent only $45 on groceries, and this past week had nothing to eat but two cans of soup and some crackers - THATS where the need is.
I have no use for charities, too many people get paid huge salaries for "managing" donations, but what do they really do for the people the claim to help? Almost nothing.
Or they are so exclusive like Habitat for Humanity, only for families, there are far too many single disabled people and senior disabled people who are homeless, and no one lifts a finger to help them.

Coming from a person who is disabled and on disability (me) if you really want to help out, find a person on disability in your community and just help them.
If your looking for a tax break, then by all means give your money to charity.
But if you really want to help, give directly to the people who need it.
Most charities end up delivering 14 cents of every dollar to the disabled. So that's 86% of the money you donated goes to paying people who aren't disabled.
If you don't want to give individuals money (most people think that because you are on disability you will drink away all your money) then ask them what would help them most. Groceries are always good, take them on a grocery run.
Charities are ok, just remember you help the charity far more than the people they intend to help.

You do know that your not really helpin the disabled by donateing to chairty right? In most cases your not. I have OI, the OIF foundations gets money donated to them. They use the money to fund projects to try to find a cure. There is not one. I am not being helped at all by them trying to find one. Eventually, one day, maybe, but probabley not in my life time. Now they did develop a shot that might help reduce the fractures or breaks, but it costs like $1000 a month even with good insurance, and has to be started as a baby. So it might help my daughter if she has it when shes born, but I don't have $1000 a month, and its still in its experemental phases so it might not even work. My cousins baby gets them and still gets breaks. But donating to the chairty isn't really helping me, none of the money goes to the people, it all goes into funding. So if you really want to help the disabled, check out what percent of the money goes to the disabled vs. how much is going back into the chairity.

There are a lot of organizations that aid people with disabilities. Here's three that I know are good:
National Federation of the Blind -- nfb.org
American Printing House for the Blind -- aph.org
American Association of People with Disabilities -- aapd-dc.org
BTW--these are not "charities in the usual sense. The APH provides printed and taped material for people with disabilities; the others are advocacy organizations. This is the kind of assistance people with disabilities need--not "charity."

How about the Paralyzed Veterans of America, they gave alot for our country. Or you can contact your local Veterans of Foreign Wars office or Foreign Legions office, they all can you find disabled people who could use a helping hand, we owe them a lot for what they gave for our country, we would not be here right now without them.

You can do it through GiveIndia.Org. Our organisation has a payroll deduction program for GiveIndia.org and we are very satisfied by their humanity service. You would get statewise informations of the NGO from which you can choose and donate. I hope this info helps.
