What kind of charities do you believe in the most?

Can you answer Tom S’s question about Fundraising?:
Charities that feed the poor or feed children in poor countries, or maybe those that provide help to AIDS victims, or build schools in third world countries. Or maybe charities that provide homes to animals, or the environment. Or maybe the church is your charity.

Just curious. Thanks.
Easy Fundraising Ideas
Fundraising Feedback: The Salvation Army. Toys For Tots. Others that help people here at home.
Fundraising Feedback: 99% of what the Salvation Army recieves goes to the people they are helping. They are the best charity in the world.
Fundraising Feedback: We are Christians, so we give mainly to Christian organizations. We know a few missionaries personally who we give directly to just to help support their families and lives. I give to a local toy mission that buys toys for poor kids at Christmas. We do tithe, but don’t give everything to the church. I send some to a feeding program in Malawi where a missionary we know helps to run the school and orphanage.
I think our churches in America have sooo much…. big screens, laser projectors, tv cameras, nice carpets and million dollar buildings. In third world countries people live in shacks and meet for church under a tree. I don’t want to build mega empires and call them churches. We want to feed and encourage the poor.
This is a wonderful question. We need to be responsible with our giving and not just pad the pockets of the rich at the cost of those in need.
Fundraising Feedback: I love animals so my local animal control is my unpaid volunteer place approx 30 hours a week.
Feeding the poor countries I think is good, they don’t have a welfare system or salvation armies.
I like project prayer flag. You send care packages to active service members in Iraq and keep in touch with them.
What ever is close to your heart is what you should do.
Fundraising Feedback: Ones that promote education because EDUCATION is the only way out of poverty. School education, AIDS education, job skill education, etc…
I believe in a hand up, not a hand out. My 3 favorites are:
And Heifer International.
Fundraising Feedback: Toys For Tots. I look forward to it every year. This year I bought 200.00 worth of toys, games, and stuffed animals for them. I also donate to a children’s hospice in England, called Demelza House, once a month and two checks a year. So far that’s all I can afford, but I hope to get a full time job soon. I also donated a couple of boxes of pencils and school supplies to the Pencil Project. Great charity.
Fundraising Feedback: All the charities I donate to (time & money) involve children right here in the USA
After all the children of today are the future of tomorrow
