[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 704764, member: 1963"] I will have nothing to do with Salvation Army due to their standpoint on LGBTQ issues and people. United Way and Unicef give approx one percent of monies collected to persons in need. Goodwill is a for-profit business. Check out your charities before donating. Because of my personal feelings about religion, I do not, as a rule, donate to religious organizations at all. I do donate to certain secular organizations that pass muster as legit charities where CEO pay is low and most monies collected go to persons in need. One of favorites is the Heifer Foundation, which buys farm animals, etc, for needy 3rd world women with the intent of enabling them to not only feed their families, but to start their own businesses. My gifts have ranged from a doe milch goat, to fish that can be farmed (the community received assistance in setting up the farming facility), and honeybees to pollinate and greatly increase yields of communually grown farm plots. Higher yields mean not only more food for the village, but excess that can be sold at market, as well as honey that can be used or sold. I also donate directly to local charities and organizations as well. Small amounts. I support "my" organizations through out the year. The holiday season doesn't really change my charity pattern. People are in need all year round. [/QUOTE]
