Charities: What are the ones you believe in?

I am kind of different in this regard, instead of giving money to charity I prefer going out into the world of the needy and help them out as much as possible - be it the homeless on the street, be it the disabled or anyone that I think could really use a little money. I rarely give out money to charities and other such organizations and when my country (Pakistan) was struck by an earthquake, I went to the disastor stricken areas to help out the victims. It wasn't easy but atleast after a day's work I could sleep peacefully :)

There are a lot of causes that I would like to support but I have not done so yet. But for the sake of this discussion, I would say I would like to support charitable organization for kids. There is a local charity here in our country; it is called ‘Bantay Bata’. This charity is for abused children. It aims to better abused children’s lives by rescuing them from their abusive parents or guardians; provide education and counseling so that they may be able to become productive citizens of the country. I would also like to support organizations for women. I plan to put up a cooperative for women. Especially those who are located in the rural areas so that they may be able to make use of their talent and skills. It’s a grand dream for me, but why not? I would also like to join organizations that values education. I believe that education is a powerful tool that a person needs to survive.

I've always love kids not to mention I have one of my own. I will donate to such charities such as the Children's cancer foundation and like around Christmas time I will donate to Toys For Tots, and the Salvation Army.. I think children deserve the best in anything and I think no matter what I will continue to donate as long as I know the money is being spent on what it's being sent for.

I agree with you. There are so many charities out there that it is hard to think of one that are legit. I would love to donate to a charity that I know is doing something for the charity and not themself. I am going to check out you blog.

I believe in charities but right now I have neither the money nor the time to invest and support one. The only charity I do now is give away my son’s old clothes and books to his school, which gives them to some organization. But later in life, when I have some extra cash and time, I would definitely like to give back something to society, which has given me so much. I would love to be associated with charities involving children as children are the future of our societies. Its best to invest in them.

I like the Red Cross. Several years ago, my parents lost their home to Hurricane Hugo and I was unable to contact them the Red Cross help me find them.

The only charity I support financially is the Salvation Army. Many charities only give a small amount to the needy and keep most of it for "administrative expenses." The Salvation Army has the highest percentage of donated money used to actually help the needy, 65%. I do give a lot of clothing and household goods to the local thrift shop which is run by the church association which uses the money they make to help local families.

St. Jude is my favorite charity. I also give to the Disabled Veteran's of America and the Humane Society. American Cancer Society is another good one.

i believe in, and would like to support charities concerning children and the aged. this is because i think they are the people who need support, love and attention. i'm not involved in any charities right now but given the opportunity, including time and finances, i'd really like to be of help.

I strongly believe in the Salvation Army. As has been mentioned, it's absolutely lovely to know that you are donating that someone will cherish, and need. I'm also interested in charities that are trying to find a cure to cancer. Let us also not forget Livestrong.
